      As much as I loathe the author and mundanely feel indifferent towards the franchise, I can’t agree. It makes me think of H.P. Lovecraft who was far more problematic and yet I wouldn’t want his works to be lost. Granted, he was poor during his lifetime, so he didn’t spread his hate as much, but that’s besides the point.

        Lovecraft was possibly the only instance where it legitimately was fear driving his xenophobia and not hatred. The man was completely and irrationally terrified of everything from air conditioners to mathematics that wasnt on a 2d plane to black people and eventually learned later in life that what scared him previously wasn’t actually scary.

        He also wasn’t a billionaire actively throwing his money and notoriety behind hate groups specifically swaying legislation and public opinion to bring harm to people.
