I have decided that Lovecraftian fiction is the one fandom which is free and safe from the taint of spergs, due to the lack of affirmation and pandering to their "feelz" which spergs feed upon like ticks in other fandoms, the uh... "political incorrectness" of Lovecraft himself (see his nigger poem for reference) which keeps away the SJW types, the utter lack of characters who can be easily be twisted into a sperg's personal wish fulfilment mary sue, and the dark uncertainty and nihilistic hopelessness that permeates the genre of cosmic horror which is far to unnerving and uncomfortable for the average pampered sperg used to having clear cut good/evil conflict in which good always wins.
Meh, this just makes MLP tolerable. Lovecraft cannot be corrupted by anything, and anything that references his work is made infinitely better for it,

I don't really know much about Lovecraftian fiction aside from hearing about Cthulhu and Ry'leh but is it really safe from the tainted corruption of spergs? What if they start sperging about who is better such Cthulhu vs. Nyarlathotep or even sperg about which Lovecraft game is better, be it Call of Cthulhu or Alone in the Dark (the first one that predated Resident Evil.)? Even if there is a lack of characters who can be twisted into some mary-sue, what if the sperg makes some mary-sue who once hailed from Innsmouth and was once the "husband waifu deep-one of Cthulhu and inbred cousin of Nyarlathotep"? In fact, what if the sperg actually feels comfortable in evil winning or at least doesn't mind the nihilistic hopelessness of the cosmic horror genre? By the way, didn't Lovecraft give his cat a racist name?
As of yet I have yet to see any sign of such activity on a small scale, let alone a wide-scale infestation. Sure the possibility exists but it seems to be pretty covert if it does exist. As for the "Mary Sue" risk of certain characters, the only cases I can think of are from some of the most significant propagators of lovecrafts work and mythos like August Derleth (who created a "super nice and good twin of cthulhu out for revenge against the evil old ones for killing his wife....yeah) and Brian Lumley (who created "Titus Crow" who is one of the biggest mary sues ever to grace fiction,just read his TV tropes page) but even then these deviations are somewhat balanced out by the volumes of positive work and input the two have put into the genre.
As for whether a sperg could corrupt the cosmic horror genre by wanting "evil to win", i doubt that very much since sperg class mary sues are nigh universally on the "winning side" of whatever conflict they are in, and their sides are universally portrayed as good and perfect no matter what evil and monstrous actions they partake in (see Twilight), and thus the cosmic horror would be preserved through subtext (just as the theme of Bella and co being repulsively sociopathic scumbags is preserved in Twilight). That said, given how unappealing the work is to the romantic/power/revenge fantasy mary sues due to how much lovecraft emphasised how repulsive and nauseating all the supernatural entities are as verbosely as possible, the average prissy and ultra sensitive sperg would be put off rather quickly.
Honestly the closest things to sperg style mary-sues and self indulgent fanfics I can think of are all outright parodies and spoofs (i.e. sense and sensibility and seamonsters, the south park with cthulhu, the Nostalgia Chick's 50 shades of green, and Haiyore Nyarko San which has loli-nyarlathotep.... yeah really) and thus dont count.
