H.P. Lovecraft–thought criminal, racist, and I’ll bet he didn’t recycle, either.
The Social Justice Warriors/Big Fat Bores in change of the World Fantasy Award have decided to change it.
No longer will the award be a bust of H.P. Lovecraft, designed by Gahan Wilson ( http://www.breitbart.com/tech/2015/11/12/world-fantasy-awards-banish-h-p-lovecraft-to-rlyeh/ ). The fact that Lovecraft did more than anyone but Poe to shape and inspire fantasy and horror in American literature–well, that fact counts for nothing anymore. HPL is out, out, out!
Because he was “a racist.” Aw, who cares! Everyone’s a racist, these days. The man lived a hundred years ago, and has been condemned because he didn’t live by the arbitrary standards of 2015 liberal self-righteousness.
Lovecraft scholar S.T. Joshi–he’s Indian, by the way–has protested by returning the two World Fantasy Awards he’s won.
I would rather he held on to them and displayed them prominently, daring the SJWs to come and take them.
Nothing is safe, not even fantasy, from the Inquisition for “diversity” and “inclusiveness,” whatever the hell they mean.
I say “hell” because that’s where all this culture-poison is originally brewed up.
Long live H.P. Lovecraft!
Down with P.C.!
