    It's like if you took the World of Warcraft "fantasy races based on lazy ethnic stereotypes" thing but forgot to make them blue trolls or pandas to obfuscate the racism. On the other hand, I guess it's about what I would expect from fucking Conan, a pulpy property that began in 1932

      Oh and Howard was racist racist. Like I apparently either didn't recognize it or it didn't lodge in my memory when I was a kid, but HOLY SHIT going back through those books is a trip. Like bro chill the entire fuck out. Figures, though. He was pen pals with Lovecraft.
