How would Lovecraft feel about this?

>>139591879
He's only rasiss against da joos
>>139590712
Well, Lovecraft did try to pioneer "fear of what goes beyond understanding" in his works
>>139591918
Yeah, but what did he think after watching the show?
>>139591964
Jews and Blacks. I was just wondering if I ever missed a chapter with some sort of Asian mystic with gigantic teeth and a fucked up nose or something.
>>139590712
Deeply afraid.

Eh, I'm not a fan of the man that shows through the stories. The whole idea that "Man is not that cool" could break someone's psyche makes me think he was the kind of twat that would kick animals and say something like "It's just a cat, shut up". Leaving aside the whole racism bit, which I'm also not a fan of, but like, he seemed like a total tool.
>>139592172
>"It's just a cat, shut up"
>>139592219
You're right: bad example. But what I mean is, that kind of human centric thinking, that his whole mythology revolves around the fact that "Guess what? There is a good and he doesn't like you" and that's the big reveal. That not being the centre of everything is what terrified him, that's a pretty big sign of being a tool. Hell, I would argue that what he wrote of dogs more or less validates my assessment.
>>139590712
If Lovecraft could speak right now he would say...
"Help, I'm stuck in a coffin!"
>>139592219
dude also didn't live to the existence of laser pointers, that red spot does so much good.
>>139592172
You've definitely got a very wrong conception on who he is.
He's a strong traditionalist, and he comes to that after realising how insignificant humans are and therefore the only anchors they have are to the past. His stories are generally from his first realisation, and a number of his other non fiction writings have been about revering the past.
>>139592219
If Lovecraft was alive today he would almost certainly be a fedora wearing autist.
>>139591085
First thing I thought before I opened this thread.
>>139592282
I think you're not completely taking in the thinking of people in the time he wrote this. Not being the center of everything was still pretty fresh and scary. Hell, look up a video detailing the vastness of the universe or use space engine to slowly zoom outwards from Earth. That cosmic smallness that still resonates with us is what he was going for.
>>139592219
This is cringey as fuck.
>>139592705
Spoken like a true dogfucker.
>>139592755
Cats are great. It's cringey because it supposes too much of people that like something else and takes a moral high ground based on that supposition. Pretty autistic.
>>139590712
I think he would be proud
>In a cosmos without absolute values, we have to rely on the relative values affecting our daily sense of comfort, pleasure, & emotional satisfaction. What gives us relative painlessness & contentment we may arbitrarily call “good,” & vice versa. This local nomenclature is necessary to give us that benign illusion of placement, direction, & stable background on which the still more important illusions of “worthwhileness,” dramatic significance in events, & interest in life depend. Now what gives one person or race or age relative painlessness & contentment often disagrees sharply on the psychological side from what gives these same boons to another person or race or age. Therefore “good” is a relative & variable quality, depending on ancestry, chronology, geography, nationality, & individual temperament. Amidst this variability there is only one anchor of fixity which we can seize upon as the working pseudo-standard of “values” which we need in order to feel settled & contented — & that anchor is tradition, the potent emotional legacy bequeathed to us by the massed experience of our ancestors, individual or national, biological or cultural. Tradition means nothing cosmically, but it means everything locally & pragmatically because we have nothing else to shield us from a devastating sense of “lostness” in endless time & space.
>>139592911
>>139592381
Atheist maybe, but not those fedora types.
>I am not an orthodox disciple of religion, but I deem it dangerous to tamper with any system so manifestly beneficial to morality. Whatever may be the faults of the church, it has never yet been surpassed or nearly equalled as an agent for the promotion of virtue. And the same thing applies to our present social system. It has its defects, but is evidently a natural growth, and better fitted to preserve an approximate civilization than any Utopian scheme conjured up over night by some artificially thinking radical.

He sounds like a cool guy.
>>139593024
He was rather brilliant when he wasn't being awkwardly condescending about pet preferences.
>>139590712
Honestly? He's probably just be very, very confused. Given the man's dark and pessimistic proclivities, and his general attitude about humanity, I don't think his introverted autistic mind could even comprehend the ideas of moe, and harem shows. Let alone one that pays lip-service to his work.
August Derleth would be down with this shit though. Campy stupid, and ill fighting of the mythos? He'd have a Narly Daiki within hours.
Someone post the Lovecraft versions of every episode
>>139593024
Definitely is.
>I should describe mine own nature as tripartite, my interests consisting of three parallel and dissociated groups — (a) Love of the strange and the fantastic. (b) Love of the abstract truth and of scientific logick. (c) Love of the ancient and the permanent. Sundry combinations of these three strains will probably account for all my odd tastes and eccentricities.
>>139593311
>Tradition is virtually the only standard, or value, or criterion of interest and direction-purpose illusion, that we have in the world of feeling, action, and art. There it is supreme. But in the world of thought and reality it is a perfectly meaningless thing; and has no effect except to place obstacles in the way of the discovery of truth. When we wish to obtain any actual knowledge of the cosmos and its properties, we must at once put out of our heads all the accumulated notions concerning such things which miscellaneous experience and slipshod inheritance have blindly saddled upon us.
>“Good,” “evil,” “duty,” “direction,” “purpose,” “dignity” — applesauce! We must cease to be parts of any system of preconceived bias — Christian, moral, humane, or anything like that — and become simple free inquiring agents, each alone and fearless, facing the varied phenomena of the external world with such processes of cognition and such stores of correlative background-data as repeated former tests may have shewn to be authentick. If then we find any of the old traditions verify’d, well and good. But we must not accept anything on any authority save the actual present evidence of the cosmos as judged by the tested information of contemporary science.
>>139591879
Mayne he wouldn't be now, because Asians were peasants back then. Now Asians have way more prestige than most whites
>No one thinks or feels or appreciates or lives a mental-emotional-imaginative life at all, except in terms of the artificial reference-points supply’d him by the enveloping body of race-tradition and heritage into which he is born. We form an emotionally realisable picture of the external world, and an emotionally endurable set of illusions as to values and direction in existence, solely and exclusively through the arbitrary concepts and folkways bequeathed to us through our traditional culture-stream. Without this stream around us we are absolutely adrift in a meaningless and irrelevant chaos which has not the least capacity to give us any satisfaction apart from the trifling animal ones.
And about his "racism".
>Living side by side with people whose natural impulses and criteria differ widely from ours, gets in time to be an unendurable nightmare. We may continue to respect them in the abstract, but what are we to do when they continue to fail to fulfil our natural conception of personality, meanwhile placing all their own preferential stresses on matters and ideals largely irrelevant and sometimes even repugnant to us? And don’t forget that we affect alien groups just as they affect us. Chinamen think our manners are bad, our voices raucous, our odour nauseous, and our white skins and our long noses leprously repulsive. Spaniards think us vulgar, brutal, and gauche. Jews titter and gesture at our mental simplicity, and honestly think we are savage, sadistick, and childishly hypocritical.
>What’s the answer? Simply keep the bulk of all these approximately equal and highly developed races as far apart as possible.
>Let them study one another as deeply as possible, in the interest of that intellectual understanding which makes for appreciation and tolerance. But don’t let them mix too freely, lest the clash of deep and intellectually unreachable emotions upset all the appreciation and tolerance which mental understanding has produced. Above all, don’t get led off on a false trail through observing the easy camaraderie of a few cosmopolitan intellectuals and aristocrats in whom similar manners or special interests have temporarily overridden the deep wells of natural feeling ineradicable from the bulk of each of the divergent race or culture groups represented.
He's 'racist' in the sense that he thinks different groups shouldn't be mixed together.
>>139593203
>>139593468
>>139591879
No he doesn't really hate them.
>Only an ignorant dolt would attempt to call a Chinese gentleman — heir to one of the greatest artistic & philosophic traditions in the world — an “inferior” of any sort… & yet there are potent reasons, based on wide physical, mental, & cultural differences, why great numbers of the Chinese ought not to mix into the Caucasian fabric, or vice versa. It is not that one race is any better than any other, but that their whole respective heritages are so antipodal as to make harmonious adjustment impossible. Members of one race can fit into another only through the complete eradication of their own background-influences — & even then the adjustment will always remain uneasy & imperfect if the newcomer’s physical aspect forms a constant reminder of his outside origin.

Why is he so redpilled? Is he a time treaveller?
>>139593732
No anon, this opinion was quite common in Lovecraft's day, particularly among the upper class, intelligentsia, and academia.
>>139593832
A shame that mentality didn't stick.
>>139593556
Does /pol/ know about him? He seems like they would love him.

Funny thing is he was a left-leaning atheist. Pretty sure that would trigger a lot of SJW's.
>>139595969Neither is /pol/.
>>139595969
/pol/ isn't being ironic either.
>>139596004
>>139596022shut up, at least half of them are ironic shitposters or so I deign to believe

>SHOCKING REVELATION: MAN BORN IN 19TH CENTURY SAID SOMETHING COMMONLY ASSERTED IN HIS ERA
If Lovecraft was so smart and such a good writer, then why dIDn't he adhere to my post-modernist philosophies?

>>139593556
>>139593522
said, he really is /pol/ of the past century though. When you actually spend a little time on /pol/, you realize they're not all the 14/88 stormweenie boogeyman people make them out to be despite the fact that some of them are. I think I need to start reading some Lovecraft to be honest. Seems like a pretty interesting writer.

He's really not. Or, well, let me put it this way: He's a fantastic writer, as in, he can form the most delicious sentences you could ever read. But his stories are pretty meh. If you have an interest in language itself then by all means give him a go, but if you want narrative then just read that one with the Prussian submarine guys and then stop.
