The thing that pisses me off most about this is I was the first to do it way way back but nobody likes it smh.
ironic how Tolkien despised Nazis and served during WW2 and then Nazis now randomly decided that orcs are a better metaphor for one of subhuman races
you piece of shit cretin
go eat a shotgun
Tolkien served during WWI, not WWII. Also he almost certainly would’ve politically supported drastically anti-Muslim and anti-foreigner political policies, what with him being a Medievalist Catholic conservative who wrote a bunch of texts to try to promote a very specifically English mythology.
I actually recall that the SJW position on Tolkien circa 2010 was that LOTR was racist and the Easterlings are Arabians. With the right justification, you can get people to say pro-orc stuff.
I mean, I don’t think LOTR is, like, morally harmful or that Tolkien was a bad person or whatever but it seems pretty obviously true that the characters and setting are racist?
This so-called “Orc Biodiversity Movement” is nothing but a cover for extreme raci–
*coughing*
Sorry, don’t know what came over me there.
Yes, the races in LOTR are literally biologically distinct, not just in healthspan and shape, but in behavior, and thus it could be argued as being quite racist, and having set a precedent for fantastic racism for the Standard Fantasy Setting thereafter.
The right-wingers, I think, care less and less what the left-wingers think, and have decided to go whole hog on their shtposting since they’ll be denounced either way. Thus the above image, which is certainly not very fair at all.
