I can kind of see why elements capture the imagination, and how elements of the mysticism have evolved lives of their own. I don't generally have an issue separating the art from the artist, and also allowing for era. Stuff like Django Unchained, that goes heavy on slurs, but for a clear reason also doesn't bother me.
But this was just hard to get past. Between a cat named "n***** man" that is referenced by name what feels like every sentence in one story, calling people mongrels and a variety of similar terms, how other races are portrayed, and some of the ideas and tone, it just permeates the work in a way that makes it impossible for me to separate the horror from the horrifying.
