The only issue with Lovrecraft and separating the art from the artist is that there's a shit ton of bigotry in his art as well.
I will not deny that he was a creative powerhouse with amazing ideas, but he was also a guy who wrote about big-lipped, dark-skinned savages and a cat with a name I shall not repeat.
Oh I was saying that people view the art created by the artist to be the artist. Like they are capable of living the lives they portray.
Like I came across a comic series where H.P. was the protagonist and it made him out to be some edgy defender against the occult horrors he wrote about. Think I've seen something similar with Poe, maybe a movie? I hate that so much.
Don't insert those guys into those scenarios, they both would probably shit their pants and die immediately if they encountered what they wrote.
