racism, lovecraft, the Clockwork & Cthulhu RPG
me: wow, Clockwork & Cthulhu sounds like my kind of RPG, I'm going to get it!
me: hmm, it's a little suspicious that they don't mention the racism at all in the section about lovecraft, but it's not a super long section so it's not that suspicious
me: huh, out of the 100s of gods in the Cthulhu mythos, they only chose to include 5 of them.
me: Ah. One of those 5 is the one with the racial slur in its name.
re: racism, lovecraft, the Clockwork & Cthulhu RPG
@00dani It's derived from the latin word for black, in the same way that the n word is. I don't think Lovecraft would have been oblivious to the implications, given what he named his cat.
In any case: why would someone (in 2013) include it as one of their top-five cthulhu mythos gods?

@lizardsquid frig, you're very correct
also fuck hp lovecraft
the black goat of the woods wasn't even in haiyore nyaruko-san, i sincerely doubt anyone rly cares about her outside of her name 
re: racism, lovecraft, the Clockwork & Cthulhu RPG
@lizardsquid wait, is the name of black goat of the woods with a thousand young actually referencing The N Word???
i thought that was an unfortunate coincidence
