Let me get this straight. In Fate of Cthulhu we specifically pointed out the racism of HP Lovecraft because well, he was a racist motherfucker, and we couldn’t in good conscience ignore that.

I don’t know about you but if I’m tying my name to a racist motherfucker, I kind of want to make sure people understand why.

Racist motherfucker or not he sparked a world that has endured and grown by a lot of much better authors.

One of the first things we agreed on was Lovecraft Without Racism.

Which I think is a pretty worthy goal. I give a flying fuck who plays this game but I want to make sure it doesn’t alienate anybody.

So this appears to have caused a bit of a ruckus.

Seems a lot of people (probably white people) have a problem with us having done this.

YOU GOT POLITICS IN MY GAME!!!!!

Evil Hat’s stance is you don’t like it, don’t buy it.

I back that 10000%.

If you have a problem with racism being called out in a game you’re probably the kind of person who really should have racism called out to you period.

Now the funny thing to me are all the responses of “If you want people to buy your game, you shouldn’t tell them to fuck off.”

Oh, snowflake, if I want to tell you to fuck off I will tell you to FUCK OFF.

Happily. Repeatedly. With a bullhorn.

So as the *looks at credits page* Creative Director (whatever the hell that means) of the game allow me to say to those of you who have a problem with us pointing out that Lovecraft was a racist motherfucker.

Fuck off.

In fact fuck off and continue to fuck off. Fuck off until there is no off to fuck. Exhaust your fucks with their offness.

Fuck the hell off far and wide.

Fuck off in a plane, on a train.

Fuck off on a wild palomino racing across the American desert in search of fucks to off

So in case I’m not making myself clear, in case there is any doubt as to my stance, FUCK OFF.
