There's no indication that Lovecraft shares the feelings of his protagonists, he just happens to be systematizing perceptions on these subjects.

Watching so many people express their judgement on the author on the basis of his myths is simply embarrassing.

It's wrong to assume that artists choose subjects because they like the subject for itself, or because it expresses something direct about themselves.

Artists are mainly systematizers who are interested in illustrating an aspect of consensus thinking, not people who are attempting to score in political arguments.

I view Authors as being more like journalists than speech writers, but maybe you'll disagree?
