[QUOTE="MGibster, post: 8578419, member: 4534"] I think a lot of us are having some difficulty reconciling the problematic aspects of those from the past with the works they produced that we continue to enjoy today. Not me. I'm fairly comfortable knowing many people from the past, including my ancestors, were bastards by today's standards. As a fan of Lovecraft's work, I'm on the side of those who argue in favor of examining Barker's body of work. As [USER=19675]@Dannyalcatraz[/USER] wrote, "his [I]legacy[/I]- including his personal flaws- is certainly fair game for critique, regardless of how long he has been dead." For those who are fans of Tekumel, I imagine this revelation is rather jarring. I know I was rather disappointed to learn about some of the attitudes and things said by Gary Gygax that I only learned about in recent years. I was neither disappointed nor surprised about anything I learned about Lovecraft because, well, yeah, you could see some of his beliefs right there in the writing. [/QUOTE]
