Not to mention it's based in the Jim Crow south. What made Lovecraft's stories so creepy was the setting.

Standard mulatto identity crisis, i.e. "I must throw myself headfirst into everything and anything race-related to prove how black I am".

It does seem likely that they are intentionally doing this to spite his racist legacy, or try to somehow undo it by using his name and creativity to make a lazy commentary on racism. It's weirdly paradoxical because they obviously look up to him to some extent as an artist, but they also hate him because of their obsessions with racism. So, lacking any creative spark of their own, they just steal his original ideas and dress them up in their own ideology like a costume. Expect it to miss the mark both as a commentary on race, and as an adaptation of Lovecraft.

On the Creation of Niggers (1912)
by H. P. Lovecraft

When, long ago, the gods created Earth
In Jove's fair image Man was shaped at birth.
The beasts for lesser parts were next designed;
Yet were they too remote from humankind.
To fill the gap, and join the rest to Man,
Th'Olympian host conceiv'd a clever plan.
A beast they wrought, in semi-human figure,
Filled it with vice, and called the thing a Nigger.

In the past, the -ed past tense ending was always pronounced as its own syllable. Eventually this started to fall away and a situation in which either the old pronunciation or the modern pronunciation was acceptable. In poetry, to fit the meter, authors specified which pronunciation they intended by utilizing the apostrophe. By convention this practice stuck around after the old pronunciation ceased to be used in normal speech.

>The match had been between Kid O'Brien -- a lubberly and now quaking youth with a most un-Hibernian hooked nose -- and Buck Robinson, "The Harlem Smoke." The negro had been knocked out, and a moment's examination shewed us that he would permanently remain so. He was a loathsome, gorilla-like thing, with abnormally long arms which I could not help calling fore legs, and a face that conjured up thoughts of unspeakable Congo secrets and tom-tom poundings under an eerie moon. The body must have looked even worse in life -- but the world holds many ugly things.

>Of the complete biological inferiority of the negro there can be no question he has anatomical features consistently varying from those of other stocks, and always in the direction of the lower primates... Equally inferior and perhaps even more so is the Australian black stock, which differs widely from the real negro. In dealing with these two black races, there is only one sound attitude for any other race (be it white, Indian, Malay, Polynesian, or Mongolian) to take and that is to prevent admixture as completely and determinedly as it can be prevented, through the establishment of a colour line and the rigid forcing of all mixed offspring below that line.

Look, I have no problem admitting that Lovecraft was racist and xenophobic, and I think it's important that those aspect of his writing aren't complelty ignored when talking about him.

But fuck me, it feels like everyone picked up on one of the most obvious things in his writing and parades it around like they're some genius. His racial shit was a PART of SOME of his stories, and it's such a fucking simplification to view them all through the racism lens. It was also by far the least interesting parts of what he wrote. Also, the south? The fucking south? I don't think I've ever read a Lovecraft story even mentionening the south. Ten bucks says they're going to do some fucking bog-standard creepy southern hillbillies and slap some token lovecraft shit in there.

It's so obvious and lazy. They are both going to miss the point of Lovecraft, and fail to say anything interesting or subtle about race. It's just going to be "southern white racists baaaaad" and then some spooky monsters.

Might be a good thing, actually. I have almost zero faith in Hollywood to be able to do Lovecraft right. To do Lovecraft right you'd have to really follow the text closely. No love scenes. No humor. Probably a bookish protagonist. Very intellectual vibe.

This is upsetting because its a continuation of recent efforts to condemn lovecraft as a racist and symbolically strip him of awards and praise.

Sure, he was racist, but so were the majority of Americans, and aside from a few passing offenses like naming a black cat Nigger-man in a short story, his personal views didn't have much presence in his work.

The worst part is that only people unfamiliar with his writing would even feign indignation

The Dunwich Horror
>>
>>82842005
I have this book, it's pretty good.

Don't worry guys, Lovecraft actually exists as an author and is referenced in the book. Events in the book are only mildly Lovecraft-related (stuff with magic cults, body swapping, portal travel). Truthfully you can take the Lovecraft references out of it and it would be pretty unchanged. The largest influence HP plays in this is that most of the cast are black horror-fantasy nerds and they're fans of him as well as Edgar Rice Bourroghs, Robert E. Howard, August Derleth, and all those other guys. They only use the term "Lovecraft Country" because they go to a creepy mansion in New England in a county spelled similarly to Arkham (Ardham iirc).

tldr. Lovecraft exists as a reference in this book/show and that's it. dun wurry, it's k

I love H.P. Lovecraft as much as the next guy. Probably much much more than the next guy. But you're delusional if you don't think his crippling xenophobia and fear of miscegenation didn't color a big part of his work. It's more complex than people looking to discredit him want to portray it, but Lovecraft was for the majority of his life a huge bigot.

>“For while when we had a black president, we were living in this post-racial lie,” he added. “The idea of, ‘We’re past it – we’re past it all!’ For me, and for many people out there – as all black people know – there’s racism. I experience it on an everyday basis. This movie was meant to reveal that there’s this monster of racism lurking underneath some of these seemingly innocent conversations and situations.”
http://www.latimes.com/entertainment/la-et-get-out-race-horror-sundance-jordan-peele-1485477812-htmlstory.html

According to Jordan Peele, one of the creators of the show, racism is saying awkwardly friendly things to black people. What's wrong with that? Why is this even a problem? Why should I care about it? Why should ANYONE care about it?

This isn't about an honest depiction of the American South. It's just another drop in a sea of cultural artifacts trying to conflate everything 'white' with oppression of black people. One that's exploiting one of the greatest genre writers of the twentieth century in a disgusting way to peddle its anti-white bullshit.

Exactly, to these new leftists, nothing is enough. I've been decent to everyone my whole life. But these fuckers want to crawl up inside your head and police everything, and if you do nothing but act polite, that's proof that you're STILL hiding racism.

So fuck it. I don't care. The world is messy, racism will last to the end of human history, and I couldn't fucking care less now. It's actually really fucking funny.

I grew up white in an all black school. That's what made me racist towards blacks. Most liberals don't live around or interact with large groups of black people, they have no idea what they're talking about. It's the only race of people I dislike.

I went to a mostly Mexican school, and even that was enough to know that the progressive dream is impossible.

Live near a lot of blacks now and I've seen and heard enough to say with confidence blacks will NEVER get their shit together, and it has NOTHING to do with anyone "keeping them down".

I was actually laughing at how garbage and obviously a rip off it is.
>"The Mirage is set in an alternate history version of the year 2009. Much of the back-story is revealed in excerpts from the Library of Alexandria, this world's version of Wikipedia funded by Muammar Gaddafi. A politically united Arabia (analogous to the real Arab League), declared independence from the Ottoman Empire at the end of the 19th century and established itself as the United Arab States. Throughout the 20th century, Arabia grew to occupy most of the Middle East and North Africa, and northern East Africa. Arabia intervened decisively in World War II on the Allied side, culminating in Adolf Hitler's beheading at Nuremberg in 1946. The world's only Jewish state was afterwards established in northeast Germany, with its capital in Berlin."
>"North America, meanwhile, is divided among several feuding third-world nations. The largest, the Christian States of America (CSA), comprises 17 states along the East Coast, and is under the dictatorial rule of an aging Lyndon B. Johnson. In 1990, the Kingdom of Mississippi is annexed, becoming the 18th state. The Evangelical Republic of Texas includes Texas, Oklahoma, New Mexico, and the Mexican state of Coahuila, and is allied with the United Arab States. A Rocky Mountain nation exists, but is split up among small tribal factions. The Pentecostal Gilead Heartland includes Ohio, Kentucky, Michigan, and Tennessee. A Mormon nation also exists, although it is based in Missouri rather than Utah. In 1990, an attempt by the CSA to annex the Kingdom of Louisiana, fueled by Lyndon Johnson's desire to claim Texas, resulted in the Mexican Gulf War."
>>
>>82856073
>"Other changes include: a third atomic bomb being dropped during World War II, on Tokyo; attacks by radical Christian terrorists on November 9, 2001 and; Arab President Bandar, in his state of the union address, describing America, the United Kingdom, and North Korea as "an Axis of Evil whose attempts to develop weapons of Mass destruction would no longer be tolerated." Dialogue throughout the novel mentions a terrorist group known as the World Christian Alliance (this timeline's equivalent of Al Qaeda) using the Rocky Mountains as its headquarters. It is not known who their leaders are or if they are aware of the mirage legend. The United Kingdom is the mirage timeline's equivalent of Iran, having undergone a revolution in 1979 (possibly where the Archbishop of Canterbury replaced the British monarch as Britain's head of state). It is implied that Britain never colonized India or that India became independent sooner, since India appears to have fought World War II on its own. The United Arab States is clearly stated to be the world's second largest country by land area, implying that Canada, like the United States, is also broken up into minor states. The state of Latin America is not touched upon in the novel other than that Venezuela is an OPEC member who intervened in the Mexican Gulf War, and that the Mexican state of Coahuila is a dependency of Texas. A Cold War analog, known as the ''Cold Crusade'' between the UAS and an ''Orthodox Union'' is mentioned. The major political parties in the United Arab States are the Arab Unity Party (the analog of the Democratic Party) and the Party of God, or POG for short (the analog of the Republican Party, with POG possibly being a play on the Republican nickname GOP). Al Jazeera exists in this timeline as a FOX analog with a morning talk show called Jazeera and Friends. FOX also exists in the mirage timeline, but it appears to be reduced to being a propaganda center of Christian fundamentalists."

Brian Yuzna(black dude) already directed one of the best horror movies ever made which was based on a Lovecraft story.

>Lovecraft was adamantly anti-Black
>he had a black cat named "nigger man" for pete's sake
>make a story influenced by his work about Jim Crow south racism

You can't make this shit up. That's like if you made a movie about Hitler starting World War II to create Israel.

>The only Lovecraftian TV show we finally are ever going to get is about muh raycism

God damnit please no.

Is what they say about niggers and Jews true after all?

Is true detective the only lovecraft-esque thing to have come out recently on tv or film?

>>82842520
Yep. I was like "Oh cool a Lovecraft..."
>JJ Abrams
Cool he did Fringe...though the last season was a complete disaster. And he did Lost...but Lost fucked us up the ass.
>Jordan Peele
um...ok...he was funny in MadTV, now he's sorta famous for being funny, and also that "Get out" movie i haven't seen? But a Lovecraft story?
>racist terrors of white America...
uh oh oh ok. I see what's that all really about....
Lovecraft is just an excuse, isn't it.

The irony is that Lovecraft was racist.

FUCK, why does this no-talent hack faggot keep getting work? I was pumped for this but knowing he;s attached means I definately won't be bothering with it. Another franchise ruined.

I can't wait for this to become the new thing and everybody to start acting as if they are in the know about Lovecraft and throw that name around to seem smart.

>"The Great Gasby" comes out
>people throw a Gatsby party
>talk to a girl and she starts going on about her 20s style look
>"who are you meant to be?"
>"Daisy"
>"Wasn't she kind of a superficial bitch who chose money over love? In fact, come to think of it, the fact we are at a Gatsby themed party is contrary to the point of the novel which was about how the glamour and shininess was on the surface and ultimately meaningless."
>blank stare

>"Sons of Anarchy" ends
>night out
>talk to a girl who says it is the BEST. SHOW. EVER.
>"omg, the finale was so sad!"
>"Well, it was inevitable really. Seeing how the show is loosely based on Hamlet and all."
>blank stare
>"You know, Shakespeare?"
>blank stare
>"Pretty shocking when the baby got kidnapped at the end of that one season, no?"
"omg, yes!"
>>
>It's an "alt-right teenagers get triggered by something new" episode
The last two seasons of /tv/ have been so shit. When is hiro going to pull a furfag bait-and-switch on these faggots? He knows their faggotry cannot be contained. It would make /tv/ so much better.
>>
I only glossed through the thread, so it's probably been said, but if the source material is so problematic, why even dredge it up then?

It's like people read and enjoy Lovecraft's work so much, but can't also identify and *work past* the fact the author had questionable views?
I think the two can co-exist without having to either deny he was racist, or re-invent / re-frame Lovecraft's theme to fit a contemporary social agenda.

You're gonna get a pale comparison to the original tone and message of cosmic indifference if you try to turn it into a commentary on Lovecraft's personal viewpoint. His views fit into it, but it wasn't *just* about that.

tl;dr - Why dey do this?
>>
>>82859213
yah

>>82842005
>This begins a struggle to survive and overcome both the racist terrors of white America and the malevolent spirits that could be ripped from a Lovecraft paperback

Spoiler:
It's gonna fucking blow.

>>82859435
Why don't you morons understand that this movie isn't about Lovecraft?
>>
Why is Jordan Peele suddenly into these horror-themed concepts?
>>
>>82859419
Maybe Hollywood could stop getting triggered by white people. That would be pretty nice,

>>
>>82859468
It's influenced by his writing though. The original book was a conscious effort to invert his style and tendencies.

Why even mention his name if it has nothing to do with him is what I guess I am all fanny flustered about.
>>
>>82859509
because he wants to show how ##########woke he is and that the REAL monsters arent supenatural beings, but all white people

I think you mean privileged.
>>
>>82859553
At least I'm not triggered while being a Hollywood millionaire crying about how oppressive it is that white people are nice to me sometimes like Jordan Peele:
>“For while when we had a black president, we were living in this post-racial lie,” he added. “The idea of, ‘We’re past it – we’re past it all!’ For me, and for many people out there – as all black people know – there’s racism. I experience it on an everyday basis. This movie was meant to reveal that there’s this monster of racism lurking underneath some of these seemingly innocent conversations and situations.”
What a little victim! ;~;

There's a lot of irony in HPL's work.

He regularly vilified dumb white trash, for example.
>>
>>82852795
>antiracism means anti-white

Sounds like you've been completely disconnected for some time now.
>>
>>82859662
Jordan Peele defines racism as white people being awkwardly friendly to him.

We should put trigger warnings on threads that aren't about capeshit and GOT so le_donald kiddies don't get triggered and convulse with asspain. Can you brainlets handle anything outside of .png infographics?

Yes, I am triggered. I've admitted as much. What's your point?

>>82844815
That was basically the mindset of the Anglo-Saxon back then, everybody was inferior except the Anglo

>the white people in 'Get Out' saying they know Tiger Woods and would vote for Obama for a third term if they could
Gee, could he be talking about that when he's talking about the 'racism' his movie was uncovering? Surely not.
>>
>>82859868
He might be talking about the explicit racism where they murder black people and use their bodies for the dying elderly.

The whole "I voted for Tiger Woods" and the "I'm not racist I've got black friends," type statements that racists use aren't awkward friendliness, it's racist patronizing.
>>
>>82859811
You clearly don't have a problem with victim narratives, as long as they conform to your ideology. This series is a victim narrative being helmed by a fucking millionaire who claims to be oppressed on a daily basis, and you're fine with it.

So stop trying to sound like the alt-right that triggers you so much.
