I'm seeing a pattern here:
Me & everyone else: Evil Hat is hypocritical for making money off a guy they hate, when they could have made another game altogether
jhkim: Lovecraft was racist!
Everyone else: Nobody argued that
jhkim: It's not hypocritical to think Lovecraft was a good writer and a racist
Everyone else: Again, nobody said that
That's fair as far as it goes, but I would add in:
jhkim: It's not hypocritical to think Lovecraft was a good writer and a racist, and also play, game-master, and/or publish Lovecraft-based RPG material
Would you also agree with this?
Yeah, I'd agree with it. It's just hardly relevant at all. So tell me: every time Martin Luther King, Jr. comes up in a conversation, do you insert "Of course, he routinely beat his wife and accepted funding from the American Communist party, which was in turn directly funded by the CCCP" ? Do you just randomly insert not-relevant-to-the conversation-at-hand bullshit into every conversation you have? Like, "It's possible to revere MLK as a civil rights leader while also acknowledging he stood to the side and laughed while his friend raped a woman." Or every time you hear somebody say the U.S. should have stayed out of Vietnam, you observe "Yes, but the North Vietnamese murdered 10,000 civilians in house-to-house massacres in Hue"? Somehow, I doubt that these conservative counter-points (and pretty irrelevant points, btw) ever make it into your arguments.
I think that, like most liberals, you're just absolutely obsessed with the topic of race and, Tourette's-like, you just can't help spouting off about it at all times and in every situation. By the way, Lovecraft was also a die-hard atheist and, by the end of his life, was thinking Socialism was the way to go. Shouldn't we bring up these two facts every time the man is mentioned? I've never seen you do it, not even once. It's possible to run a game based on his work without being an atheist or a socialist, you know.... Did you warn your kid before handing Lovecraft to him that Lovecraft was an atheist, and that worldview permeates his work far more than his views on race do? To be on guard as he reads, so that he doesn't become a godless Commie from being exposed to such ideas?
Finally, I think it's hilarious that some one who supports Burn Loot Murder, Inc. is criticizing somebody else over RACISM. Liberals are famously un-self aware, and man, you are the living proof of that.
