I saw a static (non-video) ad for this earlier and just automatically assumed that because it's Lovecraft and he was such a bigot (ignoring all context, of course) they would be going all in with virtue signalling. And then I started to think that maybe I was assuming too much.
By confirming such expectations, these people are creating prejudice, not dismantling it.
I find it funny that many people seem to hate Lovecraft for his views (Forgetting that he has been dead for like 90+ years and he was not... all there mentally) yet have no issue profiting out of his works, and they're apparently not racists for reading them when they're often the same people who think you'll become a racist if you share a meal with your Trump-supporting uncle or watch "Gone With The Wind".
They take a perverted satisfaction in using things like this in their sjw propaganda because they get off on the idea of making their original creator disgusted. It's why they like things like the removal of races in dnd and shit, they get a perceived "Win".
I'll bet you ANYTHING and say they're going to try to use the Shoggoths rebellion against the Elder things as some ham-fisted analogy for racism or some shit.
The sheer disgust Lovecraft would feel if he knew about this.

Don't you think everything bad happening in 2020 is the elder beings punishing us for shit like this?
