Well said but as high spoken as the people who posted on today’s topic, and the offhanded remarks about the man’s obvious take on his own writings and self-let us take a step back and reverse the whole scene-”flip the script” as it were-and let’s say that ol’ H.P. was Black and wrote of Whites' being as the objects of…

And that’s exactly what I feel half these articles and comments are, a circle jerk of people saying “I already knew this!”.

you should probably act less hurt about this, jamie. i understand your frustration completely but we can’t censor people especially when they are speaking the truth.

Dune by Frank Herbert is one of my favorite series of books. Relatively recently I’ve found out about his out right hatred of homosexuality and his treatment of his son Bruce who was openly gay. The story themselves are fine for the most part but it does color the depiction of Baron Harkonnen a tad differently. Rather…

“Go back (not even that far), especially in Western history, and you will find racists everywhere, people who “owned” slaves. People who’ve won the Nobel Peace prize for gods sake.” 

The conversation is going toward that last line anyway though.

I note that very rarely does anyone bring up his racism and then go on to mention that his attitudes changed over time and he even married a Jewish immigrant.

People should know this, if only for the fact that you can’t really understand Lovecraft unless you do. He basically spent his entire writing career describing, in the most surreal and graphic of terms, various fears that Western modernity gave birth to - a modernist horror cosmology, if you will. An important part of…

You’re overreacting. This is worth pointing out, and worth seeing in his stories. (It’s pretty obvious.) No one’s going to burn anything or call you evil for liking his stories anyway, unless your favorite part is the theme that “enlightened men” shouldn’t “breed with the lower races” or horrors will devour the world.

H…

They want you to buy the game including this blurb as a form of free advertising for Fate of Cthulhu.

While I think this is necessary because people are still ignorant about Lovecraft being a racist, on the other hand people who say “Lovecraft is so racist even for his time, that other racists call him racist” is also really downplaying the prevalent racism of others in that period. Lovecraft is bad enough, but a lot…

Great idea about the stealth watch because that’s how I got her to watch Event Horizon with me, which she loved (rightfully so, amazing movie) and shes NOT a sci-fi fan at all.

Ah I like that it’s stressful. I’m early in Ch 3 but I still get stressed out any time BTs show up (MULES are just annoying).

Seriously. Remembering my place, and the abilityu to bounce back to the top with one click should be basics at this point.

“completely fabricated events that never happened” is a weird thing to get mad about. You are aware the original game wasn’t a documentary, right? 

I am the #NotMyFF7 Defense Force, and I have officially ‘Logged On’.

Instead, a larger explosion is caused at the behest of President Shinra in order to drive public opinion against the terrorist group. It’s a choice that softens AVALANCHE’s image in comparison to the original game.

I find watching all the discussion and fighting about Star Wars films to be infinitely more entertaining than the films themselves.

I half heartedly thought the opening crawl would just be JJ’s diary entry for what he would have done instead for Episode VIII. He ended up using the whole film for that.

Babu Frik is cute as hell and deserves his own show. If it’s with Keri Russell, even better.
