Why do Lovecraftfags get so defensive when you say his writing sucks and is overly convoluted?
>b-but if I like him, he must be good

Presumably they enjoy his writing
i love lovecraft, but it's a fair criticism to say his writing is overly convoluted.
i mainly get butthurt at people who criticise him for being too racist, or make out like he never describes the cosmic horrors because they're too unimaginable when in fact for the most part he describes them in autistic detail

Because they disagree with you, and when you do something like post "X author sucks" on a chat board, you're either trying to start a debate or you're so amazingly dense you have dreamed up some other justification for bothering to say that.
Besides, you seem deluded enough to feel you've made an argument just by giving one vague insulting opinion ("he sucks") and one subjective preference ("overly convoluted") and that your drivel should be welcomed as some kind of persuasive insight. Actually, you are on precisely the same intellectual and rhetorical level as any tween saying to another "That band on your shirt sucks ass and they can't play for shit!"
(I imagine you're incapable of responding without relying on words like "fag" "triggered" "butthurt" or "troll," but feel free to try, if only to momentarily restore my faith in humanity).

What? I've read about 20 of his stories so far, and they're all pretty damn straightforward.
