I'm a "PoC" and I love HP Lovecraft. Oppression is meaningless when you're dealing with literature and dead authors. Fuck Niggers, though.

>Lovecraft is said to have refused outright to read Kant, describing him as a "fanatic" and a "sage," writing that his work was "not useful" and a "disgrace."

It means they saw something you didn't.

What's your definition of an art hoe?
>It means they saw something you didn't
Depends on their reasoning for enjoying x. It's perfectly possible to like something without it being good. Either the work hold some quality component without the whole being good, or you simply enjoy it for what it is despite it being bad.

But I notice that I've moved the goalposts, so I guess I am wrong. Let me rephrase my first post.

Apologize to who? Cthulhu doesn't care, Nyaralathotep, the angel of Azathoth, only wants you to worship the Gods of the Earth and stay out of the Void, but he's just going to destroy you for impudence, there's no apologizing there unless you actually have a special reason to ask for permission to see what men aren't meant to see.
