No, because I live in the modern day. That's my point.

Then explain to me how Hitler honeydicked an entire country into an attempt at global genocide. Or you I can just tell you… it's because many more than we would like to believe believed as he did, not just there either. It's scary, but it was the case. Regardless, Lovecraft wasn't around to see the end result and his…
And becomes an incomprehensible mess in the third act.
What does that have to do with him? And generally no, because I have the perspective of a person living in the modern day and though some of our societal norms are fine, many are very much not. I do not have the perspective of a person who lived through prohibition, the Great Depression, World War I, the many so…
You would be surprised.
Can any of you people actually discuss anything or is it just this constant circle jerk mixed with vitriolic attacks on anyone who dares to disagree with your warped little POV? To quote Robert Bloch, "Judging Lovecraft by his inability to see past exterior differences between different peoples is like judging…
I find many Native Americans give less of a damn than do bored white people.
There was also little in the way of modern high fantasy films to endlessly compare it to. We have tons of space operas.
The I guess the fools who started it should've carved a bust of Tolkien, who wasn't particularly PC either and gets accused of racism about every two years. As for Stoker, start digging, you might find a few interesting opinions or hang ups the man had that you don't rightly agree with and decide the most adapted…
You brought eugenics into it, I pointed out it happened under your nose, if you were even alive then. Who the hell said anything about 2012? It ended in the 60s or 70s.
Throw any beloved literary classics in there with that chicken? What is the ideal temperature for book burning?
If all of them are like you, good. That is the aim.
Horror can qualify as fantasy, and many of the works and writers honored throughout the years also qualify. Moreover, Lovecraft cut a wider swath than just horror.
First of all, no it doesn't because there is no qualifier because it's slang. Second, little known fact, but Sweden practiced eugenics for a few decades after World War 2, it led to a large group of very attractive, very intelligent, highly athletic people (Dolph Lundgren being a prime example) and they didn't even…
I'm saying the odds of them assimilating in modern day are or were slim. But yes, I'm definitely saying whatever you want to hear, since you long ago stopped listening to what I actually said.
Yes we do, because horror owes a debt to him, regardless of whether or not he was a prick or a racist by the definition of the "offended generation".
Which people like you have pretty much already done judging by the destroyed lives via Twitter for misunderstood or out of context remarks. I'm done talking to you. You're the problem, not the solution.
The fact is, judging by modern standards, meaning making use of words that were seen as proper then and very much improper now, yes, EVERYONE THEN BY MODERN STANDARDS QUALIFIED AS RACIST, including your grandparents who probably didn't make it their entire lifespan without saying something that someone somewhere in…
Please quantify 'CRAZY racist" vs. "regular racist" or "a tad bit racist" or just plain old "racist".
Yes, if you ignore the part that says "By modern standards", which you clearly did.
