Idiotic brain-rotted hyperbolic psyopped polarized netspeak. Never would watch this shit, never have, never will.
Lovecraft married a Jewess by the way.

>>21289971
Maybe people like HP because he helped cement a particular genre of horror, or its general atmosphere and premise. Also his names for his pets were very funny.

Plus, have you seen the Chapo guys? Jesus Christ what a bunch of faggots.

They are all ugly, not even one of them is average.

>>21289971
People have never read him and they just read ABOUT him and make shit up.
Reading his works will show you he was probably one of the smartest human beings to ever walk the face of the earth.

ZHRO!

>>21289971
He was too based, faggot leftists hate people who are based. Simple as.

>>21289987
>Idiotic brain-rotted hyperbolic psyopped polarized netspeak. Never would watch this shit, never have, never will.
based

It's funny to think about how the majority of men throughout human history were incels that had wives and children.

>>21290043
You can't be an incel with a wife and kids, that's not a virgin. They're redpilled if they have a true opinion on women.

>using the term "incel" unironically
Gross.

>>21290043
>>21290037
Lovecraft was so redpilled he said, literally, that Witches can never be as powerful as Warlocks because bitches can't do math. Seriously. Without understanding math formulas and charts and graphs, the female is essentially powerless and forever destined to be the plaything of the 4th dimensional entities, not their masters.
They can barely measure out proper units of measurement, let along draw the complicated geometry needed to communicate with the elder race.

>>21289971
Jews worship the Sleeping One, Marxists are shoggoths. It's that simple.

>>21290578
I'm pretty for sure blacks are shoggoths too. The shoggoth is an artificial life form, a black oozy blob that was designed to build buildings. The idea being they could float and stick stuff to their bodies and move around with tentacles. They mimic all forms of life and that's why they appear as horrors with multiple appendages... mimicking everything around them.
They mimicked the Old Ones well enough to start destroying their own creators, but never good enough to actually fool anyone who wasn't an Old One... A cheap imitation down to the end.
Humans can't tell the difference and this confuses everything. They think they're getting a gift from the Old Ones but OOPs it's a shoggoth nigguh.

>>21289971
a xenophobic who married a jew
an agoraphobic who moved to NYC

>>21290595
Cthulhu called these things because he must obviously be a bigot against billionaire year old entities that floating down from the stars and took over our world so they can strip it of all life and sell it off to other star beings.

Cthulhu says HP is a xenophobe and a bigot.

>>21290576
This should be obvious to anyone with even a cursory knowledge of ancient astronomy.

>>21290002
How many of these guys are even left? I know the Talking Heads Film Asian got called a rapist and the steppe woman left to be childless elsewhere.

>>21290614
Right? But it's just funny how he put into the story and the lore of his whole universe. Then, even 100 years later, bitches STILL can't do math (but some of them can and those bitches are like... anathema to others.)

>>21290595
He really was, he wrote anti jew and anti new york/city stuff in his letters.

>>21289985
It's amazing how not a single piece of clothing he has seems to fit on him well.

>>21290635
Which story was this in?

He's just like me fr fr

>>21289971
the majority likes lovecraft. even people who don't agree with his opinions on niggers and how they were created still appreciate his work. movies, video games and all forms of art and media are filled to the brim with references to lovecraft's stories. only a man child would boycott the work of a dead guy.

I intended to marry a Jewess, just like him. It is the most WASPish thing imaginable.

bump

>>21289971
>Why do people hate him so much?
Because he was an agoraphobic, xenophobic, weirdo, incel, psychopath.
Not that I would ever let such boring and irrelevant moral judgments influence my view of his aethetical worth. Aesthetically, I hate him because he is a shit writer and one-trick pony, the writer of the apophatic adjectives.
>ungraspable horror
>unspeakable dread
>unfathomble evil
>incomprehensible doom
>inscrutable cruelty
>delphic terror
>obscure darkness
Boy, you sure are using a lot of words to describe the indescribable, huh? His entire shtick lends itself so easily to greater experiments in literary form, but instead, he choses the most conventional narratives instead, and lets all the heavy lifting be done by adjectives like the ones above. It is extremely hacky, and that is why you also observe that the vast majority of his fans are plebs and pseuds.

>>21290002
Can anyone recommend any good books on physiognomy? I'm starting to think it's real and the Wikipedia "debunk" is a load of shit.

>>21290595
He was unironically living the /pol/ dream of having a big titty jewish gf to complain about the jews to.

bump

Lovecraft was based and if he were alive today he'd be one of us and would shitpost all day. I tip my hat to him.

its not 'cosmic' horror
the real reason they hate lovecraft is because the horror he describes is multiculturalism
half human, racemixed demons? alien races? protagonist returning to his once pure childhood city only to hear there alien languages, weird smells, demonic violence, strange looking creatures shapeshifting in and out of human form?

now you know

>>21289971
People like this (trap house niggers, not HP) deserve to be killed. I'm serious. They're deeply inhuman enemies of all that is good and beautiful about humanity. I would sooner have a more conducive conversation with an earthworm.

>>21290595

He also hated fags, yet nearly all of his close male friends were open homosexuals. Guess if you're dealing with the literary world on a regular basis, it's inevitable that you're going to be around fags, Jews and New York City.

>>21289985
>>21290002
What is this phenotype called?

>>21291154
This is a pretty good summary of why I don't like him either. His ideas, and the aesthetics of those ideas, were pretty great but his actual chops as a writer are disappointing. I don't understand why people ride his dick so hard.

>>21291578
These dudes too.

>>21291154
Uncivilized nigger

>>"an agoraphobic,

>xenophobic,
Yes
>weirdo,
Certainly
>incel,
He was married
>psychopath"
Sheer projection
What is it with conformists Zoomies and Millenials projecting so much hatred on people in history who managed to succeed despite being social outcasts? Is it a sort of guilt and resentment over their own sublimation of individuality, manifest as a sort of crab-in-the-bucket mentality whereby the iconoclast is to be crucified for the remission of collective sin?

>>21291578
>>21291590
The phenotype is called the consequences of massive and irreversible microplastic and xenoestrogen pollution caused by decades of lax environmental protections in the interest of capitalists causing such a precipitous drop in testosterone levels (1% per year since 1980) that it will be merely a decade or two before it is correctly labelled a mass extinction event.

>>21289971
Lovecraft was obviously a volcel.

Get it right, anti-chudites.

>>21290002
>hates capitalism
>uploads pictures of himself and endless data to centralized apps controlled by the world's most powerful corporations and the NSA

Why should I take these faggot seriously?

The chapo guys are insufferable faggots but this has "yet you participate in society" energy

>>21289971
omg literally me

>>21290011
Can confirm. Most of the beasts in his stories are either niggers, allusions to niggers, or some Alabama inbreds when he's especially tired of niggers.

Have recently read the NiggerMan story (Rats in the Walls). Are there are any more cat adventures?

>>21290595
>>21291441
He followed the keep your friends close and enemies closer advice really well.

his early work isn't particularly good

>>21292936
Such as?

>>21291765
>He was married
His own wife said he didn't touch her.
>>21290570
>You can't be an incel with a wife and kids
He never had kids. His wife had kids from a previous marriage.
>>21290618
>the steppe woman left to be childless elsewhere.
Amber was cancelled from calling them "retards" on stream and for having some semi-decent opinions from time to time, and for being an actual woman in a stream for actual trannies.
>>21289971
Ironic, given their CoC rpg episodes are by far the best thing they've ever produced. Will sounds like a really fucking shitty player to have as a DM tho.

>>21289971
>psychopath
This is what leftists call anyone with a shred of self preservation.

>>21293078
>His own wife said he didn't touch her.
I think this makes him a 'volcel' instead of an incel.

>>21294446
Yes, that would be fair.
Anyways, isnt this episode over 2 years old?

>>21289971
>The original incel
I hate these retards. People like Lovecraft have existed for thousands of years.

>>21289971
You getting the impression that they actually hate him, combined with many anons' reflexive anger at someone commenting on his looks, reveals quite a bit of the psychology at play ITT.

>>21290002
Are these the guys from that video where one guy is getting really mad at another for saying "wop you up to?" and then the other two are playing the chicken dance song really loud and dancing around?

>>21295453
no

>>21289985
>>21290002
The3 resemblance is uncanny.

>>21291184
I don't know but you can google face type dark triad and there will be something you can look into at least.
I've read Mac Fuller's Amazing face reading and Lamonica's the Art and science of face reading. I would start with Lamonica.

I think he was raped and probably by a nigger

He asked some friends or neighbors for sex advice several times though

Always start with The Criminal Man by Lombroso

>>21297019
>Simply delirious

Just flicked through it on Project Gutenberg and checked Goodreads. Thanks for the recommendation

>>21289971
They don't like his cat's name. If it weren't for that, these SJWs searching for heckin incel chuds to name and shame would find some other boogeyman to impotently rage about.

>>21293078
>His own wife said he didn't touch her
Then he was voluntary, not an incel

>>21291765
>What is it with conformists Zoomies and Millenials projecting so much hatred on people in history who managed to succeed despite being social outcasts?

Kind of. It is more simply an unholy communion. A heretic appears and the faith demands they be sushed so we demonise them. Without evidence. Then for merely hearing the heresy you have to make sure you are cleansed of the impure thought. So your wafer is a tweet or a youtube video. Your wine is a literal whine. And with that, you are cleansed. And if you dont do that, the congregation will suspect you.

>>21297145
They also hate shit like his racist undertones. The swarthy sailors in call of cthulhu by the docks and stuff.

Ed Dutton does talks on his youtube channel about physiognomy.
>brain is 84% of genome
>target for mutation therefore
>mutated brain means mutated face or body
>therefore fucked up people are fucked up cognitively and in their personality

>>21293069
not that anon but i think cthlhu just getting fucking ran over with a boat was kinda underwelming, and his endings sometimes feel rushed in my opinion,but we have to keep in mind that he had nobody to take inspiration from at the time and that those are supposed to be short stories, his larger works like that one about a man searching for clues about the life of one of his ancestors that got scrubbed from history and slowly going mad is very good.

bump

>>21293078
His wife actually said he was an "adequately excellent" lover, whatever that's supposed to mean, but i gather they did fuck

>>21297635
based lovecraft. why isn't that on his tombstone instead of that "i am providence" crap

Here's a helpful rule to help you save a lot of time. Don't ever listen to a woman, OR to any man who himself listens to women. If you are in doubt, ask: "Do you think women's voices should be heard?" If his response is anything more enthusiastic than "Well now, that's a.. complicated question..," file him as mentally retarded and move on with your life.

>>21297374
>mutated brain means mutated face or body

I'm not quite sure how that follows. I've watched a few of his videos and haven't seen anything relating to physiognomy either. Is there a link between mental issues or IQ and criminality?

>>21296968
Thanks, I'm reading all of his stories starting with earliest, and Cats of Ulthar was one of the first I have read. Forgot to mention it. Was wondering if NiggerMan makes another appearance anywhere.

Have just finished Ancient Sorceries by Blackwood - amazing cat/witch story. Somewhat similar to PKD - The Commuter.

>>21289985
>exact same clothes as the toddler in the back
like poetry

>>21297862
Accordibg to him most definitely there is a link. Low IQ leads to violent crime often. As for the face the idea is simple. As the brain makes up 84% of the genome it is the biggest target for a genetic mutation. So you can make a dodgy brain by itself. But if you have a mutation in your genes that results in a fucky face rhen you will almoat certainly have a brain mutation too.

If mashed potatoes are 84% of my plate and the rest is chicken then i could have over salted my potaties alone pretty easily. But if the chicken is oversalted then I likely threw salt all over the place and now everything is salty, you get me?

So you see a person with a weird face and you can be 84% sure they are also mentally disturbed. Basically Quasimodo heart of gold but ugly is a disney invention.

>>21297881
Niggerman does not as he is the pet of the one guy but there are cats here and there. He has a short essay on the basedness of cats too.

>>21289971

>gives his sole cat the name Nigger-Man
Why would he give something he loves the name of something he hates?
Checkmate, atheists.

Would be decent if not for niga noises.

Neroche is the best spooky music (trip-hop) I've found so far.

I had been waiting for new releases when a year ago he suddenly deleted his music from Bandcamp and everywhere else. Weird. Does anyone know of similar artists?

The Dream-Quest of Unknown Kadath

> H. P. Lovecraft, a writer I recognized as minor but who nonetheless fascinated me. I never considered his works “horror fiction,” since they never scared me; I regarded them as a special kind of prose-poetry that lifts the reader into a perspective far, far beyond human prejudice, a perspective in which Earth and its denizens are very unimportant, virtually accidental parts of the cosmic drama. (Later I came to think of H.P.L. as “the poet of materialism” — the man who could really make his readers feel Melville’s “colorless allcolor of atheism.”)

He wasn't the one who named it.

They're participating in social media spectacle by their volition even though it goes against what they supposedly stand for.
