Can't get away from history tampering, smearing and editorializing

[Mustard]

Tried reading something purporting to be an article on HP Lovecraft, focusing on his legacy. It became immediately obvious that 90% of the article was going to be a pointless lecture on racism and bigotry and how unhip people were to modern viewpoints more than a hundred years ago, the tone was super hostile and smug and estrogenic.

It focused on everything that's aged badly about Lovecraft instead of his legacy and what he's honored for, so stuff like his awkward poems, his cornier, more obscure stories nobody reads, trying to make you think that's the majority of his writing which isn't true, the majority of his writings is still widely read to this day. And of course it focused mostly on his racism. Thank you for reminding me that racism is bad! wouldn't have known otherwise!

Then this faggot article also called into question whether he's actually had that great of an impact on horror, which is obviously completely biased bullshit, of course he's had a huge impact, its undeniable. Literally every horror writer worth a shit since he's been alive has read and been influenced by him: Jeff Vandermeer, Stephen King, Clive Barker, you name it. anyway, you get the picture. Abandoned it halfway through, it was infuriating, I just wanted to be informed about the guy from a neutral standpoint but instead Im getting lectured probably by a zoomer who's never read anything that was written before 2005 at the most.

I'm sick of lazy editorializing by fat women and gay minorities.

Man, I feel you. I am a huge Robert E Howard fan in addition to Lovecraft, and seemingly everything online is about the "toxic masculinity" of Conan, or how the Solomon Kane stories perpetuated the "primitive black savage" trope.

Dude, the majority of Solomon Kane stories take place in Africa in the 1500s ... it wasn't exactly a bustling continent of enlightenment and industrial revolution. Besides, Kane is fighting vampire queens and zombie tribes ... if you can't enjoy pulp stories like that without injecting your modern day social bullshit, admit that you are a weak faggot and just keep watching Bravo.

Lovecraft and Howard were writing in the 20s and 30s. At that time, even the most liberal minded people still subscribed to the notion of eugenics and genuinely believed that blacks were genetically and intellectually inferior to whites. They were products of their time. Fucking get over it.

There's a shit ton of YouTube "reviewers" who spend the entire review complaining about shit like that instead of focusing on the stories, and when they finally do they're like "I dont think its good, its overrated"

It's from a different era, retard, of course it's going to have shit thats disagreeable, look past it

"I can't look past it, Im a 2024 reader!"

Then kill yourself

Mustardcoin just reached new heights. Great post. I have nothing else to add. Niggers and fags have ruined all media.

I get what you're saying. There was a recent bio of Kubrick that 'positioned his work in relation to his Jewishness to give for the first time the fullest account of who he was as a filmmaker' - implying that, because prior bios did not focus on the fact he was a jew, they were somehow less complete. I bought it, scan it now and then, its just tiring- I've read everything Kubrick, the guy was interested in: Tits, Football and Guns. His wife was asked about Kubrick's 'jewishness' years ago and she struggled to come up with (paraphrasing): "I'm sure that was an issue for him" His own fuckin' wife didn't know what he thought!!! Then there's Kubrick's 'holocaust film', surely about his 'jewishness' - my read is (same as/consistent with Paths and Full Metal) he was more interested in the mechanics of WW2 than making a specifically 'jewish' film. Every time I scan the book it reads into Kubrick and his 'jewishness' - "...Stanley bought a price reduced out of use by date Clark bar, his jewishness reviled at the thought of purchasing a fresh, full priced Hershey bar- Stanley was a true jew, then he went to make 2001 a film about jews flying into space and being reborn as Super-jews" I mean, its all just shit isn't it...

I've read similar hit pieces regarding writers I've always enjoyed, namely Hunter S. Thompson and David Foster Wallace. White males, who had tempestuous relationships with women, blah blah blah. "Where's the black/female/gay perspective?"...um, yeah, God forbid you enjoy their often brilliant writings without scanning it for inclusivity. HST's "Hell's Angels" featured a chapter about rape in the biker subculture, Wallace included an "Ebonics" chapter in "Infinite Jest", thus they're horrible, misogynistic, racist monsters. The ability to place their work in the proper context has been lost, and replaced with how it makes people feel in a "woke" cultural context instead. And it's gay.

You see it everywhere in popular culture. Led Zeppelin is bad because they fucked groupies, Pink Floyd is bad because Roger Waters hates Israel, Kiss is evil because they did a tune about fucking a high school girl, and so forth. Meanwhile, the faggot zoomers have given us an endless tide of nigger coconut music, and dumb whores moaning about their boxes. They have no ability to separate artistic achievement from the artist's personal lives, unless it's some slag like Taylor Swift cooing about her retarded boyfriends, and reinforcing the "men bad" narrative.

Why would people 90+ years later have anything useful to add?

It's the conundrum that has contributed to the long, slow death of comic books - if you are a White male author, you should strive to write about things other than the White male perspective. But if you try to write about blacks, women or anything else, you are denigrated and told that you aren't equipped to write about the black or female perspective. What are you supposed to do?

 

[Easily_Remembered]

Not write comic books in the 21st Century?

Look, you quit talking sensibly right fucking now

Lovecraft is the penultimate in horror history. Writers constantly attempt to duplicate him. Some come close but he’s the man. The horror story about rats in the walls is the freakiest shit I’ve ever read.

Fun fact: I have a Communications degree with a literary journalism concentration because I wanted to genuinely study and share uncomfortable truths, in order to work towards fixing society (maaaaann). The Agenda wasn't quite so transparent when I graduated a few years back, but I quickly learned about the politics of non-fiction storytelling; it was very demoralizing. I worked as a freelancer for a newspaper briefly and would put so much effort into researching something, getting quotes, etc., all for little payoff. Then I threw together this article about a black single mother who just moved to our area, who I knew through my regular job, and my editor (dyke) completely fawned over it, asking if we could interview her on our affiliate news station. The article was completely uninspired, yet paid the exact same and got way more traction than something taking me 5x longer to work on that, y'know, actually mattered.

Anyway, eventually I jumped over to the tech world and it turns out writing about hardware/software is much less complicated and pays more. I tried to make a difference, but here I am with you degenerates – LOVING it!
