I know I'll trigger a lot of special broflakes with this, but surprise, Lovecraft isn't some sort of golden standard of horror nor is he even a decent writer. His themes are of the most disgusting origin and I don't see how it's even possible his work is still published, let alone revered by men with little knowledge of what it is meant. Oftentimes you'll notice that these same people don't look much deeper into the themes displayed, but rather present a fetishism towards the bestiary he has created, which, although not as baffling as those who legitimately appreciate his work due to its racists themes, is still quite odd considering how shallow his description of the creatures is. They're so commonly portrayed as meat balls with tentacles and nothing more. After you read maybe two of his descriptions you have read them all, there is no variety to the Lovecraftian bestiary nor in shape or behaviour, they're all extraterrestrial strawmen used to deal with Howard's biggest fear: Other people!

That's right, shocking as it may be to some of you broflakes, Lovecraft was a racist. Not just a "mild racist" as his apologists often present, but a complete nutjob who saw everyone different than him as horrifying. The entire foundation of fear within his story is simply put, racism and xenophobia but to the extreme, to the point it may deceive the reader that they're acceptable. Disgusting? Yes! Surprising? No.

Notice how every single one of his stories is about a conflict against the unknown and how malicious this unknown is portrayed, to the point that it clearly shows how big, yet silly, Lovecraft's fear of foreign cultures and other races was.

If you could open your eyes for just a second and see how the Lovecraftian mythos and its enthusiasts are dominated by racist white males, then you won't even need to read Lovecraft's stories to come to this conclusion. It's just a silly cult to xenophobia, which is more scary in itself than in any of the stories it has spawned (which by the way, are all mediocre at best).
