Racism is in the eye of the beholder đ
Certainly from their mouths
Which one?
all of them i think
yeah, Lovecraft didn't hide his racist opinions in his works. makes reading them an awkward experience. and it's always petty and unnecessary racism too
Lovecraft's injected racism is so stupid and petty that before I read up on the man I assumed it was commentary on racism that went over my head.
You'd have to be awkward in some way to come up with those kind of stories in the first place.
I prefer necessary racism
At least he wasn't Welsh.
Didn't he have a bit of a crisis because he found out one of his ancestors was Welsh?
Haha yeah. I believe "The shadow over Innsmouth" is written about that. Or at least that's what I've heard.
As a non DND player, the gelatinous cube is the most iconic to me
Gonna have to go with the Dragon, myself.
Lol, Its right there in the title ffs. Probably the second most associated thing just behind dungeons.
I would actually put the dragon in third place, with "&" getting second place
I've heard of beholders, but I never knew they were supposed to be racist??
What about little beholders, like Spectators?
Oh yeah, beholders are SO racist, they basically assume that every other race is disgustingly inferior to them, and so are other types of beholders. And it's not just illithid style "We're objectively better than you" racism, beholders are certain that all kobolds are out to get them, because that's just what their kind does.
It's rampant xenofobia, more than just racism. With a emphasis on the "fobia" part.
They sound like Daleks except solitary.
Basically yes.
