see the issue in the same Lovecraft did - they don't even see it as an issue because it really isn't unless you're insanely racist. 4/4
racist themselves will have a hard time picking up on his "metaphor", if you can even dignify it by calling it one, because they don't 3/4
I agree that to a modern audience, it's so steeped in racism that it wraps back around to being so ridiculous that anyone who isn't a 2/3
What I mean by on-the-nose is that, once you understand what he's going for with the story, the symbolism becomes very heavy-handed. But 1/2
Seriously, read the story. Cthulhu is not a "main boss" - making him that completely misses the point of the character in the first place.
that, when you take a step back and really look at the underlying meaning, makes it clear his opinion of non-white people was extremely low.
even by the standards of the time. I mean, The Shadow Over Innsmouth is an extremely on-the-nose criticism of interracial relationships (3)
his writing means liking his worldview is silly at best, willfully antagonizing at worst. But at the same time, he absolutely was racist (2)
As a fan of Lovecraft's writing I have to agree that the fact some people act like him being a racist in a time of racists means liking (1)
But he outright said he's never played it. How can you have a opinion other than neutral on something you've never played?
They're really good, but also quite expensive (five dollars at my local grocery store for a single orange).
force the post-apocalyptic scenario they were counting on, or that China fired first as revenge on America which was clearly winning. 3/3
the bombs dropped, and it's implied that either the Enclave (which existed before the war, as this post doesn't mention) fired first to 2/?
And that's why this post kind of does a bad job explaining the Great War. America had pushed all the way to China's mainland by the time 1/?
If I remember Fallout correctly, only America had portable fission power; that's why China went to war with them over their oil fields.
so he's super excited that the Queen gave birth to a monster, giving him an excuse to finally build his labyrinth. (4/4)
is unwilling to kill his own son, monstrous though it is. The joke is that the architect really, REALLY wanted to build a labyrinth, (3/?)
a hideous half-man half-bull. So the King, Minos (hence the name Minotaur), has his architect build a giant maze to house it, as he (2/?)
It's a reference to the Minotaur from Greek mythology. The gods punish the King of Crete by having his wife give birth to a monster, (1/?)

I think she's more of a Barbarian - resourceful, no-nonsense, hard to surprise, flies into rages easily. But Rogue also fits her very well.
"If any of you dipshits die down here, I'm getting the blame. So from here on out I'm in charge."
episode is fine, like, if you read a simple synopsis it wouldn't seem bad, it's just the execution that they failed on. 2/2
You missed A LOT. Episode 7 as an episode is bad but it furthers the story, Eleven's character, and the setting. The idea for the 1/2
Be careful not to cut yourself on that edge.
It's an old internet joke. *teleports behind you* "nothing personnel, kid"
You throw him in the gulag, obviously.
