H.P. Lovecraft's Cthulhu Mythos is a shared universe far larger and more terrifying than that of humanity, where ancient, malevolent beings known as the Great Old Ones slumber in the depths of space or time. After Lovecraft's death, the Mythos has been expanded and developed by many authors, including August Derleth, Clark Ashton Smith, and Robert E. Howard. These and many other authors have helped to flesh out the Mythos into a rich and complex Dark Universe.

Right, but the same is true for Gaiman. Im just pointing out it seems odd to cancel one but not the other.

Well... A 19th century (lately repent) racist is not exactly the same as a modern day man rapist in my book. Still, the gif was meant as a joke, not an intention of 'cancel' his existence.

And about the accusation we can only wait and see: https://eu.usatoday.com/story/entertainment/celebrities/2025/03/04/neil-gaimneil-gaiman-denies-babysitter-rape-lawsuit/81423615007/

Can't cancel Lovecraft because he is dead.
