It was removedman, I'll save y'all a click.

Edit: Lemmy removed the first part of his name. Lovecraft didn't like black people, so You can figure out what it was.

Hmm. I didn't know Lemmy censored anything. Interesting. Is that per instance or universal?

[–] Zoidsberg@lemmy.ca 13 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I believe its an instance thing.

[–] toynbee@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

Thanks for the information.

I kinda like removedman as a cat name. Note, I am not being censored for saying the name of Lovecrafts cat.

Only if they're neutered.

From what I've read, it was beaten into him by his puritanical, histrionic mother who blamed his father's syphilis and death on the blacks.

Sure, but all bigotry is taught and reinforced. Doesn't give him a pass.
