>"The World Fantasy award trophy will no longer be modelled on HP Lovecraft, it has been announced, following a campaign last year that called the author out as an “avowed racist” with “hideous opinions”.

What do you think /pol/?

Famous science fiction / horror writer H.P. Lovecraft has been BTFO by SJWs and replaced by a black female science fiction writer to represent a famous writing award.

Pic related is from one of the authors who called for Lovecraft to be replaced.
>>
Seems like we're moving in the right direction. Once we forget all the "bad" things white people did, we can do them again without being attacked.
>>
Lovecraft was a massive racist even by /pol/ standards or even the standards of the time in which he lived. I remember reading a quote from his wife where he saw a black person on the street and was upset for an entire week.

Im surprised this didnt come sooner.

Any other famous people with a lvl 99 power level, and not many people know that about them?

Bobby Fisher comes to mind. Dude had a 'hitler' level hate of jews.

From his wiki:

''Fischer's library contained anti-semitic and racist literature such as Mein Kampf, The Protocols of the Elders of Zion, and The White Man's Bible and Nature's Eternal Religion by Ben Klassen, founder of the Church of the Creator.[505][506] A notebook written by Fischer contains sentiments such as "8/24/99 Death to the Jews. Just kill the Motherfuckers!" and "12/13/99 It's time to start randomly killing Jews".Despite his views, Fischer remained on good terms with Jewish chess players.

Brown Nobodies Angry About Whites, Again

Chingchong McDingle reporting

A shocking turn of events today as some brown person on a college campus said that brown people should get more free money, and that white people should stop being so competent so that brown people can catch up. A number of brown people chimed in to agree. "Bix nood mup da doo didda muhfuggen bum tickley," said Gahanjit Mahajpur, whose ancestors were muck farmers in southern Vvardenfell. "Muh programs kill whitey bix nood. Your country will adapt to service us." Rachel Weinberg, junior associate assistant temp professor of AIDS Culture Studies at NYU, was even more damning, denouncing everything ever done by white people throughout history, except all the bits that benefit brown people. "Oy veyyy, how dare white people invent the novel and short story and narrative prose fiction, landmarks of self-expression in the history of human consciousness, and then dare to read and write whatever they like! Don't they know they only invented those things so brown people could use them?" The dean of the university was unavailable for comment, having been lynched and hanged by a diverse mob for dithering momentarily on which politically correct jargon was appropriate to the situation.

In a way this is kind of a good thing - they're rejecting them instead of co-opting them. By burying their memory they preserve them, so that when we dig them out again we find them in their original purer state. It's much better to have a cohesive and sympathetic history that you have to dig at to uncover than to have your heritage subjugated and twisted to suit their ends. It's the societal equivalent of pulling a Kalashnikov out of a bog and finding that it can still shoot.

Herbert West: Reanimator is a good place to start.

Its pretty short,
ties in (lightly) with other stories,
and it is much lighter on the "I have witnessed a terrible terror so terrifying that it shocked me to my terrified soul." type stuff.

Plus, it has a pretty OK moral behind it.

If you like that. I'd suggest getting the "At the Mountains of Madness" radio drama from the Lovecraft Historical society, or just torrenting it. Because its pretty good and it doesn't use 20k words to describe what an Elder Thing looks like.

For anybody ITT not familiar with Lovecraft, his life was pretty interesting:

>dropped out of school as early as he could

also how come none of you've been posting the nuggets of gold this man wrote about black people?

When, long ago, the gods created Earth
In Jove's fair image Man was shaped at birth.
The beasts for lesser parts were next designed;
Yet were they too remote from humankind.
To fill the gap, and join the rest to Man,
Th'Olympian host conceiv'd a clever plan.
A beast they wrought, in semi-human figure,
Filled it with vice, and called the thing a Nigger.

Why not create a counter petition. There's plenty of Lovecraft fans that would jump on this.

Read everything there is to read by lovecraft (poems and all), but not all his letters (there are a LOT). Yes he was a racist but I don't see why that's supposed to be bad.

Read a biography and he was actually angered (legitimately so too) that asiatic, jewish, black, italian immigrants could get better jobs than him. He saw himself as a distinguished gentleman and sought to work in journalistic circles but was always rejected because he was so weird. He got poorer and poorer and sought to work in manual labor but wasn't accepted either because he was lanky and awkward.

His racism wasn't a dandy's fantasy or "edginess", he was racist because immigrants were the reason why he nearly starved to death.

>>55324483
Whats scientifically plausible today is very different from what was plausible just 20 years ago, let alone a century ago.
Sci-fi shouldn't be reclassified as fantasy just because modern science has found that the story is implausible.
If the author develops a scientific theory, goes into depth to explain how it may work, and explores the implications of such a theory being put to process, then that is sci-fi.

On the Creation of Niggers
by H. P. Lovecraft

When, long ago, the gods created Earth
In Iove's fair image Man was shaped at birth.
The beasts for lesser parts were next designed;
Yet were they too remote from humankind.
To fill the gap, and join the rest to Man,
Th'Olympian host conceiv'd a clever plan.
A beast they wrought, in semi-human figure,
Filled it with vice, and called the thing a Nigger.
>>
>sci-fi
>fantasy

Niggers, what? Lovecraft wrote (and created) the genre of cosmic horror. Even his stories that feature some semblance of sci-fi never dwelt long on the actual science, and usually mingled it heavily with the supernatural/occult i.e. "forbidden knowledge that mankind was never meant to acquire."
>>
>>55324945
>If the author develops a scientific theory, goes into depth to explain how it may work, and explores the implications of such a theory being put to process, then that is sci-fi.

and lovecraft never did that, he only goes indepth into occult rituals, not science. for example, you can't call "case of charles dexter ward" a sci-fi novel just because it explains in depth how to summon demons.

Lovecraft is based and black female whatever is so unknown they gotta specify black female? Whatever. The book crowd is overwhelmingly lib progressives, so they cater to that crowd. No news there.

Anyone with sense reads selectively and from the classics, there's no money in that.

I fucking hate this circus of misshapen eldricht imitations of human beings. They're so desperate to be the next MLK and to "make a difference" that they'll tear down everything and anything to satisfy their ego.

This has done nothing. In a year nothing will have changed. In a decade nothing will have changed. In a century nothing will have changed and this will have been completely forgotten. It's an ego trip for people who feel like they want to achieve something but have nothing to do, so they shit on the tiniest thing and claim it's a massive world-changing victory when people give in because they can't believe such a small thing is making such a scandal.

Their inability to remove their politics and the politics of others from everyday life is going to destroy them and probably take us with them.

I'm sick of every fucking hobby being infested by these maggots who declare that only they have the right to hold opinions and that things people do for fun have to include their politics framed as the utopian greater good or else it's bigotry.

On a similar note, the Hugo Awards were also ruined by SJWs; awards were being given to people based on how oppressed they were rather than merit, even if it wasn't F/SF. Some dumb whore wrote a book about her shirt and how much she loved that it was purple or something and won an award because she was transgender or a nigress, idr (don't quote me on any of this but that's the level of bullshit involved).

In response a heterogeneous group of authors with some gay name decided to all vote for one piece in each category and win via majority so that people who actually wrote F/SF could win the award. They failed in 2013/4, and then in 2015 when they got a lot of nominations and were slated to win (read: the majority of authors thought that yes, you should win based on your book, not how oppressed you are) the people behind the awards decided there just wouldn't be an award in those categories this year because they're tired of the awards "only going to old white men".
