Why are game developers so hellbent on rewriting Lovecraft's views on social issues?

Because Lovecraft was based and game developers are NOT.

tell me what game so i never have to read any dogshit like that again

I think the question is: Why is it important
Why does self expression matter when there are fathomless creatures that consider all mankind as important as a conlony of ants?

I get that men and women should be equal and whatnot, but I truly can't wrap my head around your genitals NOT deciding whether you're a male or female. What the fuck do they mean

Butnmen are women are not equal

why cant the right make its own games

wokies believe that listening to someone "racist" can infect you with "racism". these performative dances are required to ward off the "racism". i'm not being facetious.

More marketability. Before someone has an autist hissy-fit, I'm not saying I agree with it. But you're to generate more sales by removing potentially controversial stuff than leaving in some of his original points. Zig Forums-Zig Forums doesn't represent nearly as much of the market as they think they do.

They don't know how to seperate art from the artist and can't deal with knowing something they enjoy was made by someone who didn't agree with them 100% on everything, like he was actually a human being with conscious thought who made his own decisions or something

I love how lefties love to shit all over Lovecraft but have no qualms whatsoever about making money off his work. Lovecraft was one of the major proponents of Public Domain too.

its stupid because literally everyone was racist back then

Why are people so fucking concerned about lovecrafts views at all?

In all likelihood that guy probably wasn't any more racist than Mark Twain or F. Scott Fitzgerald. People don't give a shit about those either.

Also I have yet to find any "racist" personal notes from the man that werent written in his edgy early 20s. And even with those are pretty rare. They are acting like the guy wrote "Mein Kampf" whenever he wasn't buys with horror stories.

I'm legitimately starting to think, the reason may be Lovecraft's potential for greater commoditization. They need that fucker clean and twitter friendly so they can exploit his work properly.
The only way to do that is to demolish the guys reputation beyond repair and "appropriate" his work "for him".

This is why paying homage and giving a shit about old white people is always stupid.

Thinking these delusional talentless assholes are some sort of genre master is the height of white male self masturbation

fuck off /lgbt/, Zig Forums is a video games board

Lovecraft recently apologized for his racist remarks and deleted his twitter.

Of course v is pro trans
After all, trans people kill a lot of trans people.

Isn't paranoia an important part of his work, which is directly fuelled by his racism?

>Be in Costco
>Find a hard bound volume of most of Lovecraft’s notable works, real cheap
>”I have read most of this, but I wouldn’t mind having this around.”
>Get home and open book
>Forward has a two page apology about his views on race
I should have remembered the first rule of Call of Cthulhu: Don’t read books, they will drive you to madness.

That's a trap

I wouldn't be surprised if someone was retarded enough to believe that.

The dev in the OP is talking about "cancelling" lovecraft.
How exactly is that supposed to work?
Attack everyone working with his material?
How mental are these people?

>Genre I like is becoming popular
>It just produces shit like this
Now I understand how zombie fans feel

Its sadly happening to everything. 40k is currently dealing with obnoxious SJWfags and I say this as someone who hates right and left both

>guys, you don't understand, nazis were totally normal back then

Lovecraft is only good BECAUSE of his racism. Without it the entire horror falls flat.

That's actually a semi-decent bait. But do try harder next time.

You can admire and enjoy an artists creative output without necessarily agreeing with his political views.

Amazing, I know.

das rite whiteboi. Your genres are OURS now snd its going to be filled with POCs and women and there is nothing you can do about it.
>b-but ill just vote with my wallet!1!!
Still buying cyberpunk

Still voting for biden

I bought my copy in B&N years ago and did not have that. I now think I lucked out.

Then why would gender matter with mind breaking abominations around.

Writers can do whatever they want with a lovecraft themed story. Not every cat has to be named nigger.

>we thought it would be interesting to reimagine his world instead of cancelling him
how merciful and just of you to spare him and his work like that, thank you, and on top of that improve it, too? The other boys over at Weird Tales better pay attention and take note, their brand of pot-boiler pulp fiction is over!

seethe more chud. your tears give me strength.
