I had a Very Embarrassing Day but thankfully my entire class had the same Embarrassing Day as me and once the teacher stopped laughing at us being so aghast that Edward Burnett Tylor had such backwards opinions in 1970, she promised to tell us next time when the guy we were studying was actually the founder of British Anthropology from the 1800s who died in 1917.

Why is this so embarrassing?

Well, my major is anthropology.

And I looked up his ANCIENT PHOTO to show to Ann to complain about him.

The literature, religion, and history majors had excuses for the mistake.*




*The date was on the book the chapter was from...? So we all thought that was when it was published. Because we're the greatest minds of Canada, I guess.

Azeroth is in good hands.

I admit I was having trouble with the THIS GUY IS WORSE THAN LOVECRAFT! statement.

[crantz]

Hey, I didn't all caps it, that's a malpresentation of our conversation. And now that I know this guy created a lot of the paradigms that Lovecraft was working from, I actually stand by him being worse than Lovecraft.

Fair. But HPL would have been a racist dickbag with or without this guy. I'm still gobsmacked by the bit in Horror of Red Hook where he lists like ten different ethnicities he spots and hates from a distance and I have no idea what most of them even are.

This guy told him *how* to be one. And he also does the multiple ethnicities rudeness all in ten seconds routine.
