If you think Lord Byron means nothing more than being gay to attract women, you misunderstand Byron and his complicated sexuality and indeed his dandyism.

As someone (I think possibly Pückler-Muskau) once said: "The dandy is a conformist rebel". If Byron cared about fashion as much as you think, then why would he shake the dust of England from his feet and ultimately die at Missolonghi?

Byron served human freedom. He might still be a fashion icon, but I'd like to see you die in the attempt to liberate a proud and ancient nation from an oppressive empire.

May the eternal spirit of George Gordon Noël, Lord Byron, curse you--as once he cursed Lady Byron in Canto IV of Childe Harold's Pilgrimage---curse you with forgiveness.

/x/phile here.

In my opinion Lovecraft makes more sense for /x/. We hardly EVER talk about Stephen King, but we do discuss Cthulhu and the Necronomicon, etc.

No, not frustrated. I think a poet who was willing to make a theological case for Cain, who was willing to die for the sake of an idea, who could write equally fluently in styles ranging from sturm und drang to fierce satire to light verse, whose daughter basically wrote the first computer program, and who is still famous enough to be name-dropped on the pilot episode of "Beverly Hills 90210" about two centuries after his birth deserves to be seen as more culturally intellectually and artistically significant than a mere fashion-icon.

Also, he fucked his sister, so WINCEST.

Yep, I'm one of /mu/tants who aren't arseholes. There are some of us, believe it or not. There has to be a better comparison than Hitler.

Look, it's not Byron's fault Greece can't get their economic act together. But if you think the cause Byron died to fight for is so irrelevant, take a visit to Cyprus.

>>Lord Byron was also a vampire.

No, Lord Ruthven was a vampire. Lord Byron was just as Goethe described him in Faust Part 2: Euphorion, child of Faust and Helen.
