I can't believe I glossed over how racist Lovecraft was when I read this in my teens.
- malwarebytess 6y agoIs that racist? Why? Obsessions over bloodlines and breeding have existed even in homogeneous societies. Not to say Lovecraft wasn't a racist -- he was.

- AceJohnny2 6y agoracist/classist... at that level it's the same thing. And why is your handle a typo away from the respected MalwareBytes name? (Other than to sow confusion, of course)
- cyberdrunk 6y agoBy the same measure, The Wire or Django is racist for using the n word... It's a work of fiction, the characters and the narrator are fictionalized artistic devices and don't necessarily represent the author's views.
