Just passing by, but seriously, check it out.

The only one being to serious is Gargus. Bri needs not to save face with anyone and racial/sexist homophobic humor only serves as the brick and morter to my aserbic smile. If you ignorent I’ll laugh at you, if you just like “evil” humor I’ll laugh with you.

I bring it up every time I write about Lovecraft.

What is it with our society that people have to comment on or apologize about what someone else says in order to save face or sound like they do not tolerate ignorance in the face of the public? Seems like no one can just say something without immediately having to back pedal or make some statement that says “Hey I know I didnt mention anything racist but Ill throw in a comment to make sure the public knows Im not so I look good”

Lovecraft never seemed racist to me and in all my years Id never heard it mentioned till right now. Any comments he made were because of his time period. My grandparents make comments all the time about black people that the hardcore, right wing, PC folks would say is racist or whatnot when they really arent. My grandparents have black friends, jewish friend and all kinds of different people but when they were raised it was a different world then, they dont mean anything by it, its just how things worked then and Lovecraft predates them by quite a bit.

Cant say it reminds me of Lovecraft though. It kind of sounds like some college student that fancies himself a linguistics expert and just threw out a bunch of adjetives without really saying anything.
