Alan Moore, his fans and his haters all argue and strawman eachother over LXG's use of the Golliwog

Moore has a bad habit of rewriting reality to suit himself . Like a child or woman does.

i used to have a silkie rooster named gollywog

he was a seductress, he let all his girls eat first and let them get the best scratching spots in the yard before him.

he was a little sook when a human approached but he loved his girls and treated them like queens and for that i want to just make this comment to remember him.

Not reading any of that just wanted to say that Moore's a wanker for his comments about Robert E. Howard and a twat for his comments about H. P. Lovecraft.

He's a wanker for saying that Howard's work is male r*pe fetish material when several of his own comics involve women getting r*ped and falling in love with their male feminist, and a twat for being one of those "I can do Lovecraft better than Lovecraft" fart sniffers. "Lovecraft bad because he didn't focus on the characters" yeah no shit that's the whole point of Lovecraftian horror; the grand insignificance of humanity.

I still like Watchmen tho

The real problem with the “redemption of the Golliwog” is that the League was never about celebrating fiction. It was always a mean-spirited hatchet job and worked best when Moore took no prisoners. Showing mercy and favouritism just weakens the entire approach. The Golliwog should have been an outcast in toyland because “he looks like a racist caricature; oh dear god why did we build that thing!” An actual black explorer landing and being greeted by the Golliwog with an offer of toast, marmalade, and tea would be hilariously awkward. All those pretty china dolls and puppets sitting there at the tea set table hoping beyond hope he doesn't mention the elephant in the room. The Golliwog would then join him on his adventure. If you wanted to insult Tom Swift while you're at it have the explorer be Eradicate Sampson the eccentric negro. A good twisted reveal js that Tom Swift was actually an r-slured child Eradicate Sampson the eccentric negro mentally uplifted and made the public face of his inventing firm. He, and not Tom, was the real inventor all along, but thought it easier to have a white boy inventor as the public face instead of a black man. Tom is just glad to be able to count beyond 25 and be able to read without giving himself a headache. He's unusually bright for his age, because the treatment accelerated his mental development to compensate for his r-sluration, but not a genius. He's also violent and still has that good ol' r-slur strength.

I looked up the golliwog, and the top google result was from the Jim Crow Museum:

The Golliwog (originally spelled Golliwogg) is the least known of the major anti-black caricatures in the United States. Golliwogs are grotesque creatures,1 with very dark, often jet black skin, large white-rimmed eyes, red or white clown lips, and wild, frizzy hair.

That's a yikes, sweaty
