I'm probably doing a level based on "The Rats in the Walls" in Eldritch 2, and Lovecraft's racism is unavoidable at that point. I was leaning toward just dodging the issue again by not saying his name, because opening with a statement felt like intentionally "politicizing" the game; but then I realized there's nothing political about saying that racism is bad or that a revered author was a racist, and anyone who gets mad about it doesn't deserve to play my game anyway.
