Don't look up the name of his cat.

It was removedman, I'll save y'all a click.

Edit: Lemmy removed the first part of his name. Lovecraft didn't like black people, so You can figure out what it was.

Hmm. I didn't know Lemmy censored anything. Interesting. Is that per instance or universal?

[–] Zoidsberg@lemmy.ca 13 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I believe its an instance thing.

[–] toynbee@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago

Thanks for the information.

I kinda like removedman as a cat name. Note, I am not being censored for saying the name of Lovecrafts cat.

Only if they're neutered.

Apparently his parents named the cat.

Not that he… also… didn’t uhhh, not like black people…

From what I've read, it was beaten into him by his puritanical, histrionic mother who blamed his father's syphilis and death on the blacks.

Sure, but all bigotry is taught and reinforced. Doesn't give him a pass.
