His poem "On the Creation of N*****" says it all to me.Yeah he wasn't just racist, but even for the standards of his time he was wild.
Right wing weeb solidarity with right wing japanese mindsets. They love that kind of shit.

EDIT: Beaten. Anyway, I recommend reading this review of it: https://www.rpg.net/reviews/archive/14/14567.phtml
There's not really a whole lot of ways that I can get around this:
FATAL, as a whole, is your chance to stop being the good guy and start being the soulless rapist that you and your tiny clique of brain-dead morons knew they could be. You can come home from a long day of being shunned by anybody with a soul, wipe the pepper spray from your eyes, scuttle down into the cold concrete of the basement and engage in what amounts to a verbal circle-jerk with a clique of people just as terribly broken as you are.
Just wait until you figure out who Lovecraft is describing in The Horror at Red Hook
Just wait until you figure out who Lovecraft is describing in The Horror at Red Hook
Lovecraft referred to the area's immigrant population by referring to Red Hook as "a maze of hybrid squalor".[3] He spelled out his inspiration for "The Horror at Red Hook" in a letter written to fellow writer Clark Ashton Smith:
Lovecraft had moved to New York to marry Sonia Greene a year earlier, in 1924; his initial infatuation with New York soon soured (an experience fictionalized in his short story "He"), in large part due to Lovecraft's xenophobic attitudes. "Whenever we found ourselves in the racially mixed crowds which characterize New York, Howard would become livid with rage," Greene later wrote. "He seemed almost to lose his mind."The idea that black magic exists in secret today, or that hellish antique rites still exist in obscurity, is one that I have used and shall use again. When you see my new tale "The Horror at Red Hook", you will see what use I make of the idea in connexion with the gangs of young loafers & herds of evil-looking foreigners that one sees everywhere in New York.
Spoiler there is a whole table on how Jews should roll to see how hairy they are
why would anyone instruct a human being to do this
This is the most apt description of Lovecraft I've ever read.dude was a freakish insane garbage bag who was literally in constant fear of everything that wasn't... well, H.P. Lovecraft.
He would be on Twitter spewing white supremacy garbage all day long.We stan. But seriously, lovecraft was a HUGE racist, even by his time's standards. I have zero doubt that were he alive today he'd be a member of a hate group, minimun.
Also was not aware of some of those recs of works done by mythos fans that lovecraft would consider subhuman, still have a way to go on the list but it's always nice to get more readin recs.
*well, maybe not his "work" specifically (although there are stories of his that i love) so much as the concept of what we refer to as "Lovecraftian horror".
Can we please stop spreading this nonsense that HP Lovecrafts racism "exceeded even the standards of the time racism". Anytime I hear somebody say this, I know they don't know shit about American history and all the shit that occurred during Lovecraft's lifetime.as a huge fan of Lovecraft's work*, it still pleasantly surprises and kind of astonishes me whenever people seem to just find out about his cat's name and his blatant, excessive-even-by-the-standards-of-the-time racism. dude was a freakish insane garbage bag who was literally in constant fear of everything that wasn't... well, H.P. Lovecraft.
as we've seen from the tweets, edgelords and fuckfaces the world over will fall all over themselves exclaiming that Howie did nothing wrong - they, like him, are of course capital W wrong, but there will never be any convincing them.
like Evil Hat seems to be doing, the best we can accomplish going forward is taking what he refined - which is a genuinely interesting and welcome addition of cosmicism and existential meaninglessness to the horror milieu - and continue to improve upon it, which will of course inevitably (and necessarily) require inclusion. the list of works they included, such as Dream Quest of Vellitt Boe, Ballad of Black Tom, and Hammers on Bone (i'd also recommend Lovecraft Country) are excellent places to start and i hope we see more like them as time goes on.

It shouldent be hard to acknowledge basic reality that Lovecraft was a racist piece of garbage. This is where we at with the pathetic culture wars
Miyazaki was smart to only base Bloodborne on general inspiration of Lovecraftian ethos rather than get into those kinds of weeds
Well I think most people just think of specifically Cthulhu when they hear the name.I'm always surprised that more people don't know how horrible he was considered how popular his work is.
the people complaining about this were never the people buying their stuff."We literally do not want your money." I wonder if he'd say the same thing if he saw a 50% drop in revenue because of it.
If anything bloodborne kind of flips the message of Lovecraft by making everything an open secret controlled by the highest orders of a society and not some backwards people living in the middle of nowhere.
I don't know what your point is besides being vaguely threatening"We literally do not want your money." I wonder if he'd say the same thing if he saw a 50% drop in revenue because of it.
Please don't post sexual harassers on this site.
tl:dr
He kept being really creepy to two women with varying degrees of mental issues and wouldn't stop until exposed.
As it should be with every game imo.
The devs have the right to do what they want, if you don't like it, do not buy it, it's that simple. Be it characters, story or anything really.
@Edit
As long as you are not breaking any law that is.
They are deeply tied to his xenophobia. Fear of the unknown, fear of strangers, fear of alien culturesThankfully Lovecraft's cosmic horror concepts can be very easily separated from his racism.
