Topic	Lovecraft was pretty racist, yeah?
brestugo 01/15/22 4:38:10 PM #49:	Not simply by today's standards, Lovecraft was considered extremely racist for his time. Robert E. Howard (Conan) and others tried to get him to tone it down and tried to help him get published but he wouldn't change. He was basically broke when he died (ill health and mental illness didn't help either). Shame because when he stuck to 'cosmic horror' - a genre he created - there's some good stuff there. --- "Art is how we decorate space; Music is how we decorate time." -Jean Michel Basquiat <cite>brestugo posted [p:961771874] in Lovecraft ...
