People talk about Lovecraft being racist like he was an influencial Klansman leader who personally owned about 20 black servants and donated money to the Nazis.

The reality was he was basically scared of the unknown and anything different from his own sheltered white boy culture, which is a pretty frequent theme that comes up in his work. Even most people in the 30s and 40s thought his brand of xenophobia was extreme, partly because it was very literal fear of anything different. The Shadow Over Innsmouth and The Dunwich Horror didn’t exactly discourage mixed-race marriages, for instance.

And then on the other hand, Lovecraft worked hard to break out of that mindset later in life. He really tried to change his way of thinking and even married a Jewish woman. Really, recognizing racism and trying to be less racist in the days before the Civil Rights movement is kind of saying a lot for a historical figure.

The guy was raised by paranoid xenophobes to be a paranoid xenophobe, wrote some paranoid xenophobic shit when he was young, and then over the course of his adult life he changed and grew faster than basically anybody else around and was unusually liberal for the time when he died.

The real problem is that tumblr is seriously anti-growth and anti-healing. Got a mental illness? Suffer forever, bettering yourself is ableist and offensive. Been through some trauma? You are officially permitted to do whatever the fuck you want to anybody who resembles somebody who hurt you, assuming they’re on the official list of acceptable targets. Made a tasteless joke nine years ago? You are the scum of the earth forever and should be fired from every job and maybe set on fire.
