Was it DSM I or II that had PMS as a psychosis? I like to think of Cthulhu giving a player irritability and cramps.

Truly an eldritch horror for Cthulhu to inflict over a cis man

...suddenly being a cultist sounds appealing.

Could just be the cramps talking.

Given HP Lovecraft's known status as a paranoid raging bigot, I wonder if there's some game where the elder gods are cool actually, the "cultists" are just people broadening their horizons into cosmic queer transhumanism, and the investigators are just close-minded people wishing to restore their own sense of normalcy. Which, true to form, about half the time awaken into these horizons anyway.

I don't know but I'm now very much considering writing that book, as a scathing critique of how those books are "products of their time," and as a metaphor for how times change.

I'd love to read it! Sometimes I wish to do it but I don't think I could do it justice. I'm but a fledgeling bi occultist.

The op of that tumblr thread blocked me after I asked him about the fact things he claimed were common knowledge about a video game I played extensively as a kid do nopt line up with my memory. So I'd take his claims with a grain of salt.

Ya, I earned my bones playing Palladium games as my first TTRPG and I never recall “gay” being part of any madness (or insanity as it was actually called).

Disclaimer: I’m old. My memory might be shit.

I did some digging (and by that, looked at the first result on google) and it seems to be correct.

What game was it? Just curious.

Not OP but Rifts was such a cool setting

Broke: I'm autistic

Bespoke: I have gazed into the eyes of the endless one and became aware of the beginning and the end

it reads like the first warning signs of enshittification

hey look, these guys don't really give a shit about the work they're putting out! maybe that shoulda been a clue

I can't help but think of that old meme "Spider-Man has made you gay" video but instead of Spiderman, it's Cthulhu dancing around in a gay, gay way.
