Given HP Lovecraft's known status as a paranoid raging bigot, I wonder if there's some game where the elder gods are cool actually, the "cultists" are just people broadening their horizons into cosmic queer transhumanism, and the investigators are just close-minded people wishing to restore their own sense of normalcy. Which, true to form, about half the time awaken into these horizons anyway.

I don't know but I'm now very much considering writing that book, as a scathing critique of how those books are "products of their time," and as a metaphor for how times change.

I'd love to read it! Sometimes I wish to do it but I don't think I could do it justice. I'm but a fledgeling bi occultist.
