Love his books, read his books then criticize, plebs.
- Read his books, read his bitch-and-moan letters to family, friends & editorial staff. Artistically, he was a laughing-stock which is why he wrote for tabloids.garbage
- People that hold him up as some sacred cow don't seem to realize that if he was the captain of the Lovecraft Lore ship, that shit would have run aground pronto.garbage
- also "plebs". What are you, 12 on Fortnite?garbage
- Same i was a huge fan in the 80's after coming across "From Beyond" and the classic "Re-Animator", so i started reading all his books... Until i started...necromation
- Finding out where his view came from and how he lived... What a sad cunt! One of the times the world wide web did me good.necromation
- What his view has to do with the good stuff he wrote? how he lived? Poe had a miserable life too if that's what you meani_was
- "Artistically, he was a laughing-stock which is why he wrote for tabloids."
He wrote for tabloïds because no one cared about his writings, Poe also wrote for...i_was - tabloids, Lovecraft books are fine, I take Dagon read it and have lot of pleasure doing it, fucking period.i_was
- lol... How can you say what does his views matter? He's literally mocking the races, his language is LOADED with racist troupes, Its pretty hard to look...necromation
- pass that shit and take him serious.necromation
- Shit, if we quit admiring art from everyone that didn't live the perfect life, we'd be without art. Yeah, he was a miserable asshole, but he had some great...lemmy_k
- horror stories, so good, in fact, the type of horror is named after him.lemmy_k
- None of that justifies his views and how his very writing is the child of his racist paranoia. Fuck making excuse for shitty peoplenecromation
- @Necro Looking through the puritan lens of wokeness reveals EVERYTHING and EVERYONE to be problematic. Most adults can separate the man from his creations.Morning_star
- @morning_star Wokeness? i'm a fucking 47 year old black man. Why would i want to indulge the writings of a twat that wanted me hanged or saw me as subhuman.necromation
- I love that holding people accountable is "a puritan lens". There's a degree of separation of the artist from the art.garbage
- But he was comically awful, and that awfulness influenced all of his work. And he was also a shit writer. Sorry to shit on a Nazi golden calf.garbage
