wat?


Lovecraft was extremely racist. He was so racist that people during his time were like damn slow down bro. Pretty strange that a poc would want to support one of the most racist people in history.

As an aside: Peele is pretty obviously racist as well if you've ever listened to him speak, or even look at the things he makes.

Strange if you completely miss the point of the book that this was adapted from.

Hmm I was unaware of the book, I thought this was just based on Lovecraft's stories themselves.

Even less interested in this now.

Can't watch anything with Jurnee Smollet in it. Actors don't get much worse than that. Will skip it.

I dont think anyone cares that he was racist. He doesnt have statues on government property.

Cancel culture really only applies to things that have an influence today. Plenty of movies still air to this day that have plenty of racists in it, surprised this would have you confused. But I guess it's funny to point out.
