Conservativism, in the sense of being cautious about change, is an important perspective to have. The problem is that a lot of people that call themselves conservatives are actually reactionaries.
That’s a different (and imo less useful) definition of reactionary. Reactionaries in the sense that I’m talking about are those that want to return society to some previous (generally awful) status quo.
I don’t particularly care for the perspectives of the fundamentally disgusting, the same way I wouldn’t really care about the culinary opinions of a cannibal.
The funny thing about art and perspectives is that they’re really not in short supply. You can afford to be pretty choosy with who you want to let hang out around you; that extends to say, immediately banning hexbear users on sight because they’re assholes the same way you could viciously dismember ban anyone who posts fascist shit.

But GOOD art IS in short supply, and I’m strongly of the opinion that as long as the artist is dead or otherwise can no longer benefit from the popularity of their work, it is our duty, as art appreciators, to appreciate said work. o7

Reactionaries are just reacting to proposed changes, its inline with being cautious about change. Maybe a little too cautious, but still

i mean there’s art and a different perspective
Lovecraft - shitty human being, amazing writer.
just not with dialogue lol
Man his dialogue was so bad
There’s a reason his stories are so description-heavy, lmao. It seems like half the time there’s not a single human interaction within them.
suppose because he was a shut-in. not much interaction.
He did correspond a lot, like a lot, and he also travelled the US several times (despite his poverty) where he met up with many of his correspondents.
Lovecraft sympathy moment (along with only eating 3 things and being poor)
