Hi /lit/. /tv/ anon here. I’m currently trying to read lovecraft but am worried his works going to get purged because of his backwards views on race. How likely or possible is this from happening because most people don’t even know he was a racist.

Stupid question. Lovecraft is too popular to fall into obscurity again or to be blacklisted like that.

Not plausible in the slightest. His works are all public domain and have wide dissemination, literally anyone can print them and reproduce them digitally. It would be very difficult to censor them, even if someone wanted to.

Because he wasn't. He hated degenerates, all stupid people in general. Irish, Slavs ... one story even makes fun of Germans. He even mocked English rural culture despite considering English as the whitest of people.

/tv/ is the dumbest board.
