Have you even read his writings? Are you even listening to yourself? I get the impression you've never even read stuff from the Cthulhu Mythos from that statement. The man was good at horror and again he basically created an entire genre of horror. The man was a great writer despite his flaws. This would be like discounting or censoring Tolkien for some of the stuff in his works that could be interpreted as racist despite him having a huge effect on the modern fantasy genre.his books suck. like, demons that appear and kill U just by looking at U is stupid. his books can burn with all the other racist trashes.
Also note that his racism got toned down in his later years, some have speculated it might have had something to do with him having a relationship with a Jewish woman.
Another example would be people like Ray Bradbury (great science fiction writer), who had some pretty racist stuff in some works to the point it was kind of laughable for me, but pretty much all the racist stuff like what was in The Martian Chronicles were written in 40s-50s. He wasn't really all that racist for the time those works were written, yet you're acting like good literature should be destroyed or censored based on modern standards. The guy wrote "There Will Come Soft Rains" which is a great short story and "Fahrenheit 451" which has been banned or censored sometimes despite the irony of doing so. Both have even been adapted by others. Discounting all his works because of certain things that weren't unusual for the time is idiotic and screams of something so called moral guardians would do.
Another example, some old Looney Tunes cartoons were pretty racist, but again you have to consider the time they were made. Some such as "Bugs Bunny Nips the Nips" and "Tokyo Jokio" were war propaganda for example.
Warner Brothers actually put this disclaimer before certain cartoons:
I have to agree that censoring works (or history for that matter) because it offends us now is like claiming what we now find offensive never happened.
