guillermo del toro could write cosmic horror but lovecraft could never write the shape of water

The difference between the Shape of Water and Shadow Over Innsmouth is that one was written by a racist and the other isn’t.

#Del Toro sees monsters as people#Lovecraft saw people as monsters#His racism affects how fictional monsters and concepts are perceived in his fiction#The unknown is abhorrent and harmful#Rather than something that we see ourselves in#Love is recognition 

how can you keep this in the tags??
