minus-squaredisco [any]hexbear12·3 years ago Lovecraft switched over to being a socialist a few years before he died. Where’d you hear that? That would be nice, although I assume he was still racist :| link
minus-squarep_sharikov [he/him]hexbear15·3 years agoSomeone here shared a letter once that suggested Lovecraft had recanted a lot of his racist beliefs by the time he died. link
minus-squareCatherine_Steward [she/her]hexbear11·3 years agoLovecraft was racist because he was sheltered and paranoid and quite literally afraid of people who looked different from him. Later on, he traveled and met a wider variety of people and as far as I am aware he acknowledged how silly his racism was. link
