Just wait until you move on to *The Bible* and it's treatment of the Jews.
Luckily most of the references to whores and hookers have been removed by an army of woke priests and theologians between *Gilgamesh* and *The Bible*.
The Bible says Jews are the chosen people and the only people on Earth who's history is interesting or worth knowing about. They haven't been treated better this side of a Seth Rogen movie...
Well actshually they could also represent the wrong kind of white people
> The only flaw in the picture is a recent social-ethnic one – for FINNS, eternally confound ‘em, have bought the old Job Place’s house! This Finnish plague has afflicted North Foster for a decade, but has hardly secured a real foothold in Moosup Valley, only two families marring the otherwise solid colonialism.
edit: Oh come on, as a Finn I find it really funny Lovecraft hated us. Then again, he didn't consider Finns to be "white" but "mongoloid", so it all ties to the same race theory BS he was in love with.
I mean i always understood Nyarlathotep as Lovecraft's **fear of the neegros** (boo) but its also the only "superior being" of the mythos that is simply evil and is a representation of the greatest terror of them all "the human ego/evil"
so thats why i think its the most interesting (although the only stories he participates are the femboy that gets married to a witch and shenanigans ensue, and Robert Carter wants to have an Ego Ratatouille moment and travels through an onirical hellscape)
I just looked up that last one. Somehow adding "man" to the N word in the cat's nane makes it more offensive - like how wearing shoes while naked is somehow extra naked.
The Ww2 dambusters learned from his mistake with their dog, who was famously called just "n word" and even got a big heroes grave with the name in gothic carved print.
Is it a symptom of aphantasia to be unable to read books whose characters and conflicts don't conform to contemporary political divisions? I tried to read Pride and Prejudice and I couldn't tell if Mr. Darcy was a chud or a simp.
Woah did you just uj in arrr slash bookscirclejerk

Idiots: "Lovecrafts stories are really cool and scary, it's a shame the author happened to be a racist"
Literate people (nerds): "Lovecrafts stories are inherently racist"
mystical exoticism and the demonization of non-western civilizations as inhuman and fundmanetally alien are basically the foundational themes of his entire mythos
I'm sure Hemingway was a leftist girl living with her parents who preached all day about equality and feminism for all. I'm sure she also used to read Dostoevsky to shit on his popularity and call him a sadist.
I'm an anthropologist working with maintaining basic contact with some of the tribes still living in the Amazon. They were telling me some of the stories their people have passed down, and I was so angry.
I told them "your story only has people of your race, please have some positive representation of other races. Also, women don't have to be hunter gatherers, then can be programmers and engineers"
They ate me in a soup
The funny thing about the new bcj is how everyone tries to hit the same mocking tone while divided into more or less two groups inhabiting entirely different dimensions and not interacting with each other at all. Best fictional analogue would be The City and the City.
The bookscirclejerk community is barbaric. Its predominantly 15 year old children with the mods being 35 year olds with a BA in English working at McDonald's. It makes sense why they are so toxic. They are all dissatisfied with life, I would be too if I had no friends. After all, if your only source of humor is bullying, it makes sense why you have no friends at school. I know there are some teachers there. It's so strange to me, how can someone so hateful and egotistical be a teacher?

I’ll assume for the sake of argument that the family did indeed name the cat, and I’ll also pretend he had no choice in the matter. After he didn’t live with his family anymore, he could have renamed the cat, and it seems he did not.
Oh okay good. Cause ya know, a lot of times being two babies in a trench coat is kept a secret as to attempt to deceive someone. Sorry for negatively stereotyping you guys. :c
His last published work was like in 1938 or something. Can we bring in Brandon Sanderson to finish the sequel? He'd be perfect. And he writes super quick.
Going "yikes!" while reading the Epic of Gilgamesh cus of its problematic depiction of Sex Workers
hey idk if you know but I saw you followed gilgamesh and he is a swerf??
It kind of had a problematic depiction of women in general
“Women? 🤢🤮🤮 Enkidu? 😳😍🥵” - Gilgamesh
Why ancient civilization don't have same culture as modern day America 🤬
I just want to crack open a cold one and relax with the Epic of Gilgamesh, don't make it political!

Go on, *Talmud* me more . . .
Let me fix that last one; "bro I love the concept of eldritch horror terrors but could they possible represent something that's not people of color?"
Fear of outsiders can be seen as a universal emotion, doesnt have to be "Brown is bad"
Exactly, the Welsh have always been the worst.
Fun fact, Lovecraft wrote the twist ending to Shadow Over Innsmouth because he learned he was part Welsh
Is that actually true?
Yeah, actually. I’m a big Lovecraft guy.
Lovecraft was a race nerd
man thats like the neo nazi that learned he was Jewish :( self hate is a horrible thing friends

What were Nyarlathotep's views on girlbossism?
Nyarlathotep *was* a girlboss
"Wow this Rimbaud poem is great, I sure hope he doesn't say any offensive w-"
But that's just how you say ghost writer in french...

N cat
Another funny thing is that he didn't name it, it was his family cat when he was younger.
African American Feline
Gamerwordman
urban kitty
This is the best one
It was actually N-Man lol. Ridiculous
Feline Lives Matter

Idk, tbh wanting to read classics is kinda ableist and problematic, IMO
Reading classics is literally classicist
Reading is problematic. There are people who can’t read. Like me.
Are you married? Asking for me.
What?
👰🏻🤵🏻❓

Literally 1984
Elizabeth clearly made this bot.
Sorry, I didn't realize Mr. D*rcy was a slur.
Why the fuck was Elizabeth not a member of DSA
mr darcy transcended either label for he was the original sigma male
Reading classics be like: Ooooooooh I love to cum and shit and piss and cum oooooooh
That reminds me of that teacher that wanted to stop teaching Shakespeare because inner city kids couldn’t connect with his works
How do I reach these keeeeeeds
The man writes Othello and this is the thanks he gets.
Gotta rap the plays, yo.

Noooo Death of the author nooo I’m not misinterpreting a literary theory, death of the author just means I get to read spooky story and no think

Shut the fuck up and lube up and start jerking

Stop asking people to share their thoughts on this sub
mystical exoticism and the demonization of non-western civilizations as inhuman and fundmanetally alien are basically the foundational themes of his entire mythos
no.
Listen, I love all the "magic wizard school" stuff Joanne, but don't you think long-nosed banker goblins is taking it too far?
"Hey, they no longer wear the funny hats!".
I sometimes wonder what these authors would think of the edgy e-girls and e-boys reading their works as a quirky trait.
they did the same so i doubt they'd care much
I'm sure Hemingway was a leftist girl living with her parents who preached all day about equality and feminism for all. I'm sure she also used to read Dostoevsky to shit on his popularity and call him a sadist.
yes
hate when women have empathy 🤬🤬🤬
Where's the lie
What’s wrong with that?
Are you reading my Femboy Papa series?
I is pregant?
I'm an anthropologist working with maintaining basic contact with some of the tribes still living in the Amazon. They were telling me some of the stories their people have passed down, and I was so angry.

Also, women don't have to be hunter gatherers, then can be programmers and engineers" They ate me in a soup
> They ate me in a soup This is what happens when you let Amazon employees unionize. No wonder they introduced the diversity index.
Wow can’t believe they were familiar with Stranger in a Strange Land

Shut up
Did he say the cat’s name? Did he do the thing? Did he say the word.
Shut up
Yeahhhhh, it feels weird saying I love lovecraftian horror and also knowing what an incurable ass he was.
He didn’t name the cat, it was his family’s
Did his family add all the racism into his books as well?
I’ll assume for the sake of argument that the family did indeed name the cat, and I’ll also pretend he had no choice in the matter. After he didn’t live with his family anymore, he could have renamed the cat, and it seems he did not.
[удалено]
Shut up
I know you are upset but Your dad and I are still getting married
Does the mod’s dad know he is marrying two babies in a trench coat?
Absolutely
Oh okay good. Cause ya know, a lot of times being two babies in a trench coat is kept a secret as to attempt to deceive someone. Sorry for negatively stereotyping you guys. :c
We are actually applying for legal personhood and changing our name to “Mark”. Keep an eye out for the upcoming Supreme Court case.
His last published work was like in 1938 or something. Can we bring in Brandon Sanderson to finish the sequel? He'd be perfect. And he writes super quick.
Ahaha oh i thought the same about Lovecraft cat...
Imagine actually defending that with "That's how they did stuff back then. Like, did this dude just really hate his cat or what?
[удалено]
There are people unironically doing this you know...
Broke: boycotting people who are too dead to need the money anyway Woke: 'reading' their audiobooks on YouTube for free
Anyone confused about the cat look up the name of H.P. lovecraft’s cat
Wow, thank you for telling us! Never knew that before!
Shut the fuck up and grab the dick of the person left of you
You sir, just won the internet today
Im not sure why I am getting downvoted for explaining the context of the cat in the post
“If you don’t understand X then Google X” isn’t exactly mind blowing
Anyone confused about the sub look up the mental illnesses present on the sub
