    Genuinely think lovecraft is more redeemable than rowling.

    Lovecraft’s work was more connected to his bigotry, but it was horror; the fundamental theme was a display of his weakness and how he sucked. It makes no claim to virtue, and is onevof the best analyses of the mind of a xenophobe that you can read today; metaphorical as it may be.

    Rowling spoke to children, made claims to virtue, and couched her most vile shit in the twee and the benign, turning virulently evil herself as the series went on.

    Edit: which is to say: you shoukd read lovecraft because he was such a piece of shit.
