I hadn't made the SK connection! Ugh. The only thing I can think of that MIGHT make it okay is that SK is from that area, so it might not be an appropriation so much as a way of highlighting the general racism/homophobia of Maine? I feel like he does that a lot by incorporating local history.
At the same time, instead of it being homophobia/racism borne out of power, oppression, etc., it's because of monsters. :-/
