LOL at everyone replying to this as though the "point" of Lovecraft's writing was everybody making Wisdom Saving Throws until they failed. "Isn't insanity what makes it cosmic horror?" No. Fear of the unknown, of something outside and beyond your context, is what makes it so.

And frankly, the main reason that Lovecraft postulated seeing some of his eldritch beings (it wasn't quite a constant in his stories) might "drive you mad" was his provincial mind had a hard time coping with the idea that people from different continents were the same species.

I’m mentally ill and all you’re doing is performatively removing an externalized concept and only increasing the stigma for it by doing so and it blows
-
OCD and depression here - I'm not seeing how this is performative, at all. The sanity mechanic has been hugely damaging to us for so long. I don't want to be at a table while people act out "madness" or misconceptions of my own mental health reality. This decreases stigma.

As someone with multiple mental illnesses, this is offensive
-
Same. I've been diagnosed with autism and clinical depression, and have seen the effects of different mental illnesses in my family members. That's a far cry from insanity induced by Eldritch abominations.

Big lmao at everyone posting "no!! You have to roll to see if the Deep One does you a spook, like Lovecraft intended!!"

I swear there are YouTubers monetising videos that deliberately miss the point which whip up hate. The talking points in the dogpiling come in waves. And they are such bad takes: “Real insanity isn’t cosmic insanity” when other games have modelled them as the same for decades.
