Tolkien hatred is a sign you just hate Western Civilization.
Tolkien was born in South Africa, so technically we already have African Tolkien.
These people attack Tolkien and Shakespeare because they are the highest forms of English cultural expression so they must be sacrificed on the alter of the Message to achieve ultimate power over the English. I swear these people are one step away from burning books. They already destroy legendary paintings as is.
For Tolkien...we will go to war!! TO GONDOR!
The film features an overwhelmingly homogeneous cast, with minimal representation of people of color and very few female roles, yet it is widely regarded as one of the greatest cinematic achievements.
"Dark-skinned orcs" - right here this "Doctor" demonstrates that he is attacking what he does not even know. Tolkien's description of orcs was consistently that their complexions were pale and sickly. Tolkien called them "sallow-skinned".
Tolkien was utilizing Nothern European mythology to intentionally build a uniquely ENGLISH mythology. The protagonists would necessarily have been typically English while those from beyond the protagonists' lands would have seemed foreign to that. It isn't racism, it is basic storytelling and description.
I want Ryan Kinel's AI voice for Text-to-Speech for BluSky comments.
In the books, Saruman adopted a multicolored cloak with all the colors of the rainbow 🌈 after becoming a villain obsessed with toxic progressive industrialization and breeding an army of orcs.
