Sometimes the catgirl is just a catgirl… and sometimes we get this weeks episode of the authors thinly veiled fetish.
From my own life: I though Lovecraft was somewhat racist when I read his works, but figured it was a times thing, and maybe a bit him… then I read about his personal life and his cats name and was like, “oh ok thats my b there.”
Lovecraft was terrified of anything that was slightly different from what he was, not just race, but hometown, school you went to, social status, whatnot. It’s so extreme it really can’t be explained with ideology or psychology, something must’ve been up with him in the biological sense, like genetically shot amygdala. It’s frankly a miracle the man was functional enough to write stories but that primordial terror he felt about just about anything other is also why his stories are so good. He knows what he’s talking about.

Lovecraft was a flaming racist even by the standards of the time, but it doesn’t seem to have come out of malice.
