Why they hate Tolkien? There's a lot of reasons. A lot of people are mad at this. Yep. I think they're all real. Yeah, I can see Chad. Yep. Chat loves it. They know they're real. Never before has any voice out of the words of the tongue here in the Mladorus. Do not ask your pardon, must have errone. For the black speech of Mordor may yet be heard in every corner of the west.

Oh. I Gavanya and you over one million men and women of the West and the 40% who haven't subscribed yet. Not a year goes by without some hack writer from the access media or academic. Oh. Oh God. Hack writer from the ax. Are you kidding me? This is pretty good.

This media or academic attacking our beloved professor John Ronald Rool Tolkien. And this year is no different. from the telegraph, students shall not pass unless they accept Lord of the Rings is offensive. University course suggests Tolkien's treatment of evil characters follows the tradition of anti-African antipathy. Why is it that the evil characters are being associated with Africans? Like, I feel like that's a bit of a stretch, right? What the hell is that from?

AAA to you and me. Generally, academics and activists, and quite frankly, I don't know the difference between the two. So we'll just... How do you watch the Iraq high and the orcs and be like, oh, I know who this reminds me of. They're the ones that are the racists. How do you do that? You got to be out of your fucking mind.

People who don't like to have fun and people who are no fun to be around. Yeah. Hate Lord of the Rings. And the attacks on Tolkien go back to the times when he was alive. But in recent times, it was made demonstrably worse by Amazon. You know the company that started out selling books? Yeah. When its owner, Jeff Bezos decided he wanted to make his own Game of Thrones and bought Lord of the Rings, which is funny because right now, Game of Thrones along with Harry Potter, DC Comics, and the core part of Lord of the Rings that Jeff Bezos actually wants is potentially for sale.

Wow. Anyway, Jeff Bezos is the rings of power. You know the billion dollar disaster and failure that's basically a vanity project right now gave the activists absolutely. I'm surprised that they're still making it. everything they wanted. Unfortunately, there weren't enough of them to watch, but it did stir the conversation back up again. Five years ago, I made a video called Day Are Coming for Lord of the Rings,

and it was a simple warning that the same thing we've seen happen to Star Wars, Star Trek, and Doctor Who was going to happen to the professor's secondary world. Because the activist... The reason why is because they want to get inside of these pieces of media and then change them and reshape them to make them reinforce the way they see the world. That's the reason why all of this... media keeps getting changed. And it gets changed in like

fundamental ways because these people want it to mean fundamentally different things. That's the reason why. I've been circling this mythology for a long time. And once they sunk their teeth into it with the help of their Hollywood corporate overlords, if anyone didn't like it, well, they

were the problem. Particularly the readers of Tolkien who wanted to see the professor's work adapted authentically. And in their infinite wisdom, the creators of the show decided to make the fans of Lord of the Rings, the Hobbit, the Silmarillion, and all the works of Professor Tolkien, the enemy.

Responding to the backlash they absolutely knew they were going to get. Rings of Power Producer and Bad Reboot Reject. Lindsay Weber famously said, it felt only natural to us that an adaptation of Tolkien's work would reflect what the world actually looks like. But it's not the world. See, like, in my opinion, as soon as I hear something like that, I immediately assume that,

that the media is going to be garbage. Because you at this point have now put your, like, viewpoints and your, like, social ideology, you have decided to elevate that above the source material. And what I think that really shows is it's a profound lack of disrespect. It's a profound disrespect of the source material. You don't really care about making it authentic. You don't care about doing it the right way. you care about making it in line with what your viewpoints are.

You see what I'm saying? So any time that you see anything, this is my opinion, any time that you see any even slight amount of like something that you could consider DEI and something, you should automatically assume that it's going to be garbage. Because a lot of the things like that that are added in for a DEI reason, fundamentally what that tells you is that they don't actually respect the source material enough to adapt it properly. Now, I'm not saying every single thing that's had a DEI thing in it is bad, but I think the correlation's pretty fucking strong. Go back to the book. Go back to the book.

Completely ignoring the fact that Amazon paid $250 million to get access to a built-in audience that really enjoyed a world meticulously built by J.R.R. Tolkien and what he thought it actually looked like. Showrunners J.D. Payne and Patrick McKay also responding to the backlash called the fans patently evil. Two dwarf of color. The fans are patently evil? Well, wait a minute. I don't understand this. So the orcs aren't evil, but the fans are? What the fuck happened? I did this is, it's insane.

Yes. Really? What a, I don't even know what to say? Evil. Two dwarf of color actress. Sophia Numbetti stating that her role and the rings of power are a necessary redress of balance in Tolkien. Everyone was cast because they were the absolute best person for the role. And to be part of a redress of balance within this world is...

I don't think that to understand. Nobody that wanted to watch Lord of the Rings actually was a fan of the show wanted to have it recast for racial reasons, for like current day racial reasons. Nobody was asking for this. Nobody wanted this. Nobody needed this. I don't know like where they get this idea that that this is something that the people wanted.

Nobody wanted this at all. Like nobody was asking for this. Do you think you have this opinion of Ryan Glasslin? Glastin was cast as some Nubian king? I don't know. I mean, I think that in general, if you're doing a race swap for a character, you're probably doing it for a reason

that doesn't have to do with the quality of the character or the quality of the actress. Like, for example, if you had, like, a really good actress or a really good actor, race-lopping a character, I don't really think it's that big of a deal. Like, I think that, like, for The Witcher, for example, they have Warren's Fishbourne playing Regis, who is, like, one of the vampires in Witcher 3.

And I don't really care about that. That's fine, because he's a really good actor. But in terms of, like, just bringing on random people just to play this role, I think that's the issue. And the rest is Herstery and by all accounts the subversive work that is the Rings of Power

should have been canceled but the only reason it's still around is so Jeff Bezos won't be embarrassed, I would argue, continuing to make it is more embarrassing. And of course there's all the access media articles and academic research from racially stereotyping in the works of Tolkien to a new

Lord of the Rings prequel quietly confronts an uncomfortable legacy. How Amazon's the Rings of Power prequel grapples with the deeply ingrained ideas of racial difference and racial determinism in J.R.R. Tolkien's world. These people are professional problem havers. That's all they do is they find problems with things. They complain about shit. They get mad about it. And the worst part is that the world is supposed to pretend like they care. It's insane. Dear Tolkien fans, black people exist. Okay.

Can fans black people exist? And who can forget this book published in 2022, Tolkien, Race and Racism in Middle Earth by Robert Stewart? Well, apparently everybody forgot. This is the problem that these people have. And this is the reason why I think so many people are like, I think, becoming more racist is because they've wanted to put these viewpoints and these values in every single aspect of life. Every single thing. They want to like go back and retroactively apply their current worldview. to media that was like, you know, 50 or 100 years old, right?

Like, that's the issue. It's like you can't do that and you can't force everybody to think the way that you want and then expect there's not going to be a huge pushback. About it considering it only has three reviews on Amazon and it's sitting at a 2.6 and it costs $93.43. Well, this is what I think is kind of funny about it is that the entire, this entire apparatus of people that are bringing up these topics, it's actually like nobody

like nobody actually cares about this stuff at all it's just artificially astroturfed in order for people to think that this is a problem but average people don't care about this and they never did considering it only has three reviews on amazon and it's sitting at a 2.6 and it costs $93 and $43 or going back to 2002 from the Guardian race and race What with the dark skin, broad faces and dreadlocks?

It's a wonder Tolkien didn't give his baddies a natural sense of rhythm, says John yet, examining Middle Earth suspect racial undertones. Where he's suspect racial undertones, bro. And I think the problem is that a lot of people don't really know how to deal with this. The way that you deal with this is you just tell them to shut the fuck up and that you don't care. That's the way you deal with it. And the moment that you capitulate to these people, because you have to understand that these people are not your target audience.

They don't care about your media. They don't care about whether it does well or not. They don't care about whether it's successful. They don't care about whether it's true to form to like what the original text is. The only thing that they care about is that it is, you know, congruent with what their worldview is. And because of that, you should never listen to them because they don't actually care about the product. They only care about what the product does for them. dates multiple paragraphs down perhaps i better come out and say it the lord of the rings is racist so this is nothing new under the two lamps the two trees or the son of ardu

but this one takes it a step further because it's an actual course at the university of nottingham wow and that course comes off as an exploration of the actions of robin hood from the perspective of the sheriff of nottingham cold off christmas once again from the telegram and we got to give them a little credit here on this headline. Students shall not pass unless they accept Lord of the Rings is offensive. University course suggests Tolkien's treatment of evil characters follows a tradition of anti-African antipathy. The first thing that I think of whenever I see Sauron is like, ah, an African. I guess Tolkien must be racist. A university is teaching students that J.R.R. Tolkien demonizes people of Kowler in the Lord of the Rings books. A history module called D.E.R. colonizing Tolkien and others taught at the any time that I see the word using any time that I see the word colonize used anywhere basically I just automatically assume that the person is retarded I do I pretty much

instantly assumed that like if you're complaining about colonizing your decolonizing you're even it's like it's one of those retard words now this is not a 100% thing right sometimes people use the term and it makes sense. But it's very rarely the case. University of Nottingham uses a text that says orcs and other dark-skinned characters in the trilogy are the victims of

ethnic chauvinism. What? A fence, but it sounds like some fucking comid, gobbledy gobbledy gook. Dr. O'Neke Nubia, a historian and writer who leads the module who's made plenty appearances on the BBC and has put forth the narrative

that medieval England had towns and cities as diverse as modern London, which is absurd, argues that eastern races in the fictional realm of Middle Earth are depicted as evil, while fair-skinned peoples of the West aren't shown as virtuous. I mean, man, when you're a hammer, every problem looks like a nail. This is what people like that do. Their entire career is built around trying to identify these things and getting upset about them. It really is insane.

Someone's trying to create problems. Well, yeah, that's because nobody wants to tell this guy that he's wrong. And so they just let it happen. Except for all the fair-skinned peoples who weren't so virtuous, like dwarves who were not evil but could be famous assholes. They're stupidy. They're assholes. They're selfish.

It's like the petty dwarf men who trade two of them or the dwarves that killed Thingl. And yes, despite what Amazon and their paid shills will say about dwarves, generally they're considered fair yet ruddy. And as far as elves are... Yeah, they're more neutral. They're not like just only good. And there's Fianor whose actions led to the burning of the ships. And the kin slang, which was the first time elves killed other elves.

The sons of Fianor who killed a lot of elves. Or Maglin, who betrayed Gondolin to Morgoth. Then there's the men of the West. What do I even start maybe with the Numenorians who are sacrificing humans to Morgoth? The black Numenorians? And no, they weren't black. and they were deep in the past, oppressive rulers of realms

like Umbar and HAD. But simply, I think that a lot of these people are just like really dumb, and the only way that they can understand conflicts is that they look at it through modern lenses. And that's the reason why they have these problems and why they keep seeing these issues, is that

there are basically people that, you know, took AP English in 12th grade and learned to try to see everything as a metaphor for something else. And in my opinion, I think it's just such a stupid way of looking at things, number one. Number two, I think it's also something that makes stupid people feel smart. So you have a lot of people out there that are doing it.

That's it. They hate everything men love. Well, yeah, I guess so, right? Everything somehow has to relate to the real world. Yes, exactly. Wasn't black and white. There was a lot of moral complexity to Tolkien's works and not every fair-skinned character was virtuous. And that's just scratching the surface.

Now, obviously, I'm no Tolkien scholar. I mean, also, Sauron appeared as a fair-skinned character many times as an elf. Like, it's just, anybody that knows anything about the source material knows this is retarded. We all know this is retarded. But, like, you know, again, this is just what happens. Or expert, I'm just a fan. But imagine if a real scholar or even a hardcore lorehead took this clown's course, it'd be hilarious. In reference to decolonizing Tolkien in academia, decolonizing usually means reexamining or moving away.

It's just basically anti-white, anti-Western viewpoints, basically, or deconstructing why white people or Western culture is a problem in something. That's what decolonizing means. 99% of the time. From white western viewpoints. Let me get this straight, Dr. Oneeka, Njuba. You want to move away. Just a, yeah, it's an academic term for racism. From the white Western viewpoint of Professor John Ronald Rul Tolkien, an Englishman who wanted to write a mythology for England from his English viewpoint, I mean, by all means, move away from it.

But why would you want to waste your time doing that well? Because it's not about reexamining or decolonizing. It's about deconstructing. To state the obvious. Because somehow the academics got it in their brains that you can fight discrimination with discrimination. But it doesn't end there in the module's core text Dr. Onieka writes that maligned peoples include Easterlings, Southerens, and men from Hared. The trilogy also features the dark-skinned orcs, evil creatures that do the bidding of Sauron, known as the Dark Lord. Now, the article says that's true.

Yeah, they do. The trilogy, and I certainly hope you're not talking about the Peter Jackson. in films, as much as they are the greatest trilogy ever made, they are not the most accurate adaptation of the professor's work. So are you just focusing on the Lord of the Rings books, leaving out the Hobbit, the Silmarillion, the

children of Huron, the fall of gondolin, the lost tales, etc. Yes, armies of Easterlings and Harrod fought for Sauron, and yes, their complexions matched the regions they lived in because Tolkien accounted for that. You know, who also fought for Sauron, the aforementioned

fair race of the Numenorians, some of whom became the Nosgul. But as far as orcs are concerned, they're creatures who are humanoid, but not human, with mostly sallow skin. So I don't care what background. Yeah, they're like green and like, you know, like, weird ass skin.

Like, what do you mean? It's not a fucking, it's not the same thing at all. Tolkien's personal writings show him to be against apartheid and definitely not racist. I mean, again, I think that just the implication of this is ridiculous. You're from,

If you see them as black people, you told on yourself. The orcs slash goblins were created by Morgoth slash Melkor as a mockery of the elves. Who were created along with everything else by the one true god, Iruiluvitar, who are described by J.R.R. Tolkien in the often cited for multiple reasons, letter 210, a letter discussing a film treatment to force J. Ackerman. They are or were squat, broad, flat-nosed, salo-skinned with wide mouths and slant eyes. In fact, degraded and repulsive versions of the two Europeans, least lovely Mongol types. Now, the important bit there before he says Mongols is two Europeans.

That is a permanently offended people are projecting their own prejudices into materials. They don't have anything to do with it. Well, they're also just trying to, they're trying to force their ideology into every form of popular media. It's like, I think a really good example of it is, do you remember, like, a couple of days ago whenever whenever the Homeland Security account was tweeting out Halo memes about, you know, destroying the flood and then it said join ice. Well, that's what I think a lot of conservative people have had to deal with listening to every single piece of media be a metaphor for why capitalism is bad, why men are stupid, or why Western culture is wrong. And so, like, now you can see how annoying it is. now you can see why people didn't like it

Reddit did not like that yeah of course and it's because they're not doing it straight up racist not it's not racist what's racist about it nothing acknowledging that that wasn't probably the nicest thing so if anybody has a beef it's the Asians but if we're going to be judging things from history

and we're going to say Mongol that will be from Mongolia's gangis Khan which means about 0.5% of the male population of planet Earth could be offended by that remark. Probably is a lot of them. I can tell a big murderer. It was a bit murdered. It did. 34 million.

There's another problem as well. That's a lot of people. A remark made in 1958. Many will make that the underlying thesis of Tolkien and all of his works being racist. But that is the deliberately disingenuous argument you will get from modern. academics, particularly when it comes to Tolkien. Judging a man's perspective from the early to mid-20th century, that was... They tried this argument, Dungeon and Dragons and Orcs, and now have made them Mexican

and new books, no lies. There's no way that Orks are Mexicans now. I'm sorry. I will not believe that until I see it. No. Completely acceptable, by the way. On modern-day standards and having to dig to find something. While completely ignoring all the times that J.R. Tolkien said he was against things like

racial doctrine and those national socialists. So this is just like him literally saying, I have a hatred of apartheid in my bones, and most of all I detest the segregation or separation of language and literature. I do not care of which of them you think white. Okay, so then he's obviously not a racist. Okay, so then that's the end of it.

All right. Well, okay, great. Well, that was easy. But the professor shouldn't feel alone because Dr. Oñecca Nubia also went after C.S. Lewis, Milton, and Shakespeare. You're complaining. This is a thing.

People that have problems are problems. If you're a hammer, every problem looks like a nail. And this is what it is. This is your job. Your job is to go around and look and find things to complain about and pretend that they're racist. That's what you do. That's why you're on TV. That's why people pretend to care about what you're saying.

That is your entire existence. So big surprise, you found it with Order of the Rings too, because that's all you're supposed to do. And this is just the latest salvo against the good professor from the disingenuous and evil academics. But this reminds me of the worst case of betrayal, the Tolkien Society. Marketing back to their seminar in 2021, coincidentally, a year before the Rings of Power came out. So I'm sure this was totally a coincidence that they had seminars like this. Gondor and transition, a brief introduction to transgender reality. Oh, boy. Wow. Wow.

Holities in the Lord of the Rings. Not sure how they managed to get a 30-minute seminar out of something that wasn't a reality anywhere within the works of the devout Catholic professor. What is this? You, devilry. Yes, these are real from the real Tolkien Society. An educational charity and literary society devoted to the study and promotion of the life and works of the author. Tolkien society is talking about transgenderism and Lord of the Rings? What the fuck is wrong with them?

In 1969. Oh my God! Wait! There's war! The problem of pain portraying physical disability in the fantasy of J.R.R. Tolkien. What? The invisible other, Tolkien's dwarf women, and the feminine lack. Oh, my God.

Oh, God. This is amazing. rejecting Indian myths, culture, and history onto Tolkien's worlds. I'll get indigeneity, identity, and anti-racism. We're atheists, agnostics, and animists, oh my, comments are turned off. Gentlemen, I haven't said it for a while, so I want to say it again. We have two problems in our culture and our society,

and all of our problems stem from two groups of people. The first group of people that cause all of our problems primarily are Karen's. Cairns cause all of our problems through selective empathy, performative empathy, narcissistic empathy, basically everything except for actual empathy, and also just being fucking delusional and stupid. And there is that. And having a chip on your shoulder because something bad happened in your childhood, and now the entire world has to suffer for it. The second group is in-cells. In-cells also cause a lot of problems in our society.

Many of them are mass shooters. They go out on rampages. They're violent. And they are also, you could say, created by Karen's in a lot of cases. This basically encapsulates, I'd say, at least 90%, probably 95 or 99%, of all of the problems in our entire culture are derived. are derived from just simply that two groups of people. That's it. And if we stopped listening to those two groups of people,

we would be living in a paradise. We'd have flying cars. Nothing would be locked up in CVS. You could just simply go inside of a store. You wouldn't need them to check your receipt as you leave. Everything, you could leave your car unlocked. We would probably have computers that were faster. Everything would just be better.

Everything would be better. Oh, my. Yeah, we could tell racist jokes and nobody would get mad. We can just keep going on and on and on and on. But you're right about not about InCell, the problem are the SEMS. Well, incells become SEMS and SEMS become InCells, right? It's kind of like a, you know, like what's that fucking paradox where energy becomes matter? I forgot which one that is.

But yeah, it's kind of like that, but it's like with incels and scents. This one, something mighty queer, destabilizing cis-heteral and enormativity in the works. of Tolkien. What? This might be my favorite. Pardoning Saraman, the queer in Tolkien's the Lord of the Rings. For those of you who may or may not know.

Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. What? Pardoning Saramon? Whoa, whoa, wait. I was reading chat. Let me listen to this again. Tolkien. What? It might be my favorite.

Pardoning Saraman, the queer in Tolkien's the Lord of the Rings. For those of you who may or may not... Saramon's gay? Tolkien comments about difference in applicability. allegory, the paper is similarly in Kelleher term Monway. That's the Veylar that sent

what do you call it? Gandalf into Middle Earth. Monway is an archetype of the rightful and lawful leader. For this manner, we will compare him to Zango, the orxia from African Brazilian region, Ubanda. Wait, what? What the fuck are you talking about? You know, it's so this doesn't have anything to do.

with Saramon. The queer in Tolkien's the Lord of the Rings. What the fuck? For those of you who may or may not know from the books, Saramon the white later identifies himself as Saramon

of many colors, which could be interpreted. No way. Saramon of many colors they think it's the rainbow flag. No fuck. Actually, you know what? That's exactly why. For sure, bro. That's so retarded. I know that's the reason.

That's super fucking retarded. Absolutely. Oh my God. It is wearing a rainbow flag. Ha! Gay! And when he reveals himself, Gandalf's response pretty much sums up everything happening here. I am Saddam on the wise.

Sutherman of many colors. I like white better. It serves as a beginning. White cloth can be dyed. The white page. and be overwritten on the white light can be broken. In which case it is no longer white. And he that breaks a thing to find out what it is has left the path of wisdom.

Let's not forget back. Isn't it crazy whenever you listen to that dialogue and you compare it to the slop that we get nowadays? Isn't it just like, bro, like, it's, yeah, it's just bars. Like, exactly. In February of 2003, the spectator reported that a unit within prevent the UK home offices counter-extremism program had drawn up several lists of dangerous books. Dude, this is a Karen organization. Like, y'all, what you only do is go in and just take all of these people and then just fire them.

Just fire every single one of them. They ain't doing nothing. They're not helping anybody. They're not doing anything good. They're just wasting your fucking money, being retarded. Just get rid of them. Get them out. Prompt or indict support for the far right or horror of central...

That's a deep state. Among the specific works mentioned were novels by Titans of English Literature, including George Orwell, Joseph Conrad, C.S. Lewis, and J.R.R. Tolkien. Actually, I feel like the biggest self-report here is that the list of dangerous books, George Orwell is on the list of dangerous books. Dangerous to who, exactly? Hmm. Yeah, that's the real self-report. J.R.R.R. Tolkien is not that much.

It's George Orwell that I think is the real self-report here. So I'd like to remind everyone who tries to take down this English legend, prolific author, and all-around good human being that the rest of the world does not agree with you, including you, Dr. Onyika Nubia. Considering Lord of the Rings has been translated into 57 different languages and has at least 87 translations. It's sold over 150 million copies, making it the third or fourth best-telling book of all time,

and if you combine it with The Hobbit, that's 250 million copies. Then there's all the other books and media, and of course the films, the Lord of the Rings trilogy, and the Hobbit trilogy, which have a combined worldwide gross of 5.875 million without adjusting for inflation.

I do feel like Lord of the Rings is probably one of the core, Like, in terms of, like, Western media, it's pretty much one of the main pillars. That's it. It's pretty much the big one. Like, you've got that. You've got maybe now for a lot of people, younger people, it's Harry Potter also. Maybe, I don't know, a couple of other things, but mainly Lord of the Rings. It alone, which was pretty easy to look up.

It appears that despite what some producers at Amazon. and angry academics think any detractors of the professor and his works are in the minuscule minority. But they're not going to stop and they tell them. This is the issue that that happens is that these people put themselves in positions of power. And then they try to astroturf and manipulate public perception into believing that what they think is actually like a commonly held viewpoint. And so they create this perception of consensus by trying to portray their view. viewpoints alongside the traditional viewpoints, but the reality is that almost nobody believes this stupid, retarded bullshit.

Nobody actually believes this. That's why nobody's buying the books. That's why the shows that have this stuff involved fail. That's why it happens. And because the only place where it can succeed is a place where it is completely protected from anything else that could potentially put it at risk. It cannot survive in a free marketplace of ideas. selves because when we have a course at the university of nodding him from the professor's home country called decolonizing Tolkien.

Again, decolonizing. I don't have a problem with the course. If you want me to be honest, I think it's fine. If you want to write and do a course about this, it's totally okay. I think, you know, it's, again, freedom of speech, freedom of expression, etc. I think maybe you could, you know, ask some questions about like, you know, should tax dollars be going towards this, etc. But I think that, you know, people should be able to believe and and teach courses and even stupid stuff, right? But this is definitely stupid.

Academia usually means reexamining or moving away from white Western viewpoints. This isn't a scholarly study or exploration or even. It's not moving away from white Western viewpoints because there's nothing that's inherently white or Western about a viewpoint. There's only something that makes sense and doesn't make sense. and by categorizing things like that, what you're doing is you're just basically, you're just giving people a justification to be racist. Like, that's it.

It's literally that's simple. A re-examination, what it is is colonizing Tolkien. Because students of the course in Nottingham will also learn to repopulate the canon of British myth and legend. See, that's the problem, is that they want to change things. Like, I'm fine if you don't.

like an old story because you think it's racist or something like that, that's fine. But like if you don't, if that's the case, make your own. The obvious, this isn't about adding to something or building something new. It's about destroying something. That's summed up by the Culture Explorer on X and I couldn't have said it better myself. Forget education. This is cultural demolition. The goal is to re-examine the past.

It's to poison it. Jesus. To strip stories of their meaning until they become something you're ashamed to love. First, they redefine the words. Then they rewrite the history. And finally, they tell you what you're allowed to believe. Jesus Christ, yes. Isn't a debate about orcs?

It's a war over who owns your culture. Exactly. Fucking exactly. Key to destroying a culture is problematizing its past. And Lord of the Rings is just one more monument to tear down. And why do they hate Tolkien? Well, I don't think I'm breaking any news here. It's his conservative values.

He was a devout Catholic, a proud... He's a conservative... He's a conservative Catholic white man. Yeah, a big surprise. They don't like people like that. You know why? It's because they're racist. That's the reason why.

It's that simple. Englishmen, an anti-modernist, and he had a deep distress of large-scale government. Values that are antithetical to the ideology of the modern activists and academic. And the timelessness and popularity of this story that will outlast them all serves as a constant reminder that nobody likes their ideas and nobody thinks they're any fun. And that's what I think is very interesting about it, is that there's so much emphasis placed on placating and pacifying and keeping these people happy when the reality is that they represent almost no one. Like nobody likes these people. Very few people even subscribe to these ideas. But for whatever reason, everybody has to.

listen and pretend like this is some sort of valid viewpoint. Works and the values they represent is exactly the reason the vast majority of people, including this guy who is neither Catholic or English, love them. If you like what you heard, please like share and subscribe. If you didn't like what you heard, I thank you for listening this long. I will see you in the next video. No, I completely agree with him. I do.

I do. I think it's just very simply people that are trying to, delete what you're saying. Confuse why the left wants so much government? Well, I don't know. I mean, like, yeah, I told you, Karen's push it, SIMPs go along with it. Yeah, I mean, I think that SEMS is and sells also.

I think that also, like, those are two different problems, right? And at a certain point, I'll probably go and talk about that. But there is the video right there, skip the outro. I think that that was the outro, right? And so, yeah, make sure to give it a like. Nerdrotic. I've watched a lot of his videos. And I think that, yes, they do hate Tolkien because of what it represents.

And I think they hate it for a number. of reasons. They don't like the fact that it's not super racially diverse. They don't like the fact that it talks about or it doesn't use an overt, you know, like sort of like, you know, modern storytelling. I think that in general, a lot of people, and this is something that I've noticed, is that a lot of people have a problem understanding, you know, and like coming to terms of the fact that like certain things are just, you know, naturally good and evil, right? Like people like to have shades of gray in things because it, I don't know, I guess maybe it scares them or it's weird to them that maybe certain things are just good and other things are just bad.

And I don't really know why that is. I'm not sure why that is. I have to think about it more. But yeah, 50 of them? 50 what? I don't know. But anyway, so yes, and this is the image that somebody sent me. Second illustration that I made for the revised PHB, the species entry for orcs.

So whenever somebody said they made orcs Mexican. Oh my fucking God. That is incredible. It's like this is the kind of stuff, guys. Like, you don't see something like this every day. They literally made Orix Mexicans. Are you kidding me? It's that bad? I know.

These people are just awful. They are awful. Oh, my God. Yes. And Dark Woke. I don't think this is, I think it's just retarded. And, uh, yeah. it's Omega fucking Dantra

what? Karen's on government because they know they aren't on the populous side. Yeah. Yeah, they need government to enforce their worldviews because people won't accept them on their own. I mean, some of the, dude, look at some of this, guys. I mean, this is, this sure is a lot, huh? I don't know about this. It's infantwise, how do you do fellow orcs? And this is from, oh my God.

And then also keep in mind as well, you have right here, let me go back and see right here, that nobody except for those people can reply to them. So this is what I found is very common, is that if you want to find out whether something is like good or bad or whether things are going to be well received or not, you can just look at this. And if you can't reply to something, the odds are it's because it's bullshit. That's the reason. And I'll scroll down and see if I can find any more of these. I don't like this new design. And this is more people complaining about it. Yehaw.

There's this, yo, oh, is he single? This is insane. I don't know the book, but I know I love them. Oh, my God. And they gentrified my beloved pig boys. Wow, this is incredible. Zugzug is now I, I, I. Wait, what?

How have we let theater kids take over so much of this? Oh my God. This is unbelievable that we've let the inmates take over so much of the asylum. It's insane. I don't even know what to do. Yeah, it's unbelievable for me to look at this. Look at this at some point. I don't know if I want to look at it right now.

But like, yeah, make fantasy great again. I bet a lot of those people have blue sky accounts. Oh, yeah, I've got a pretty good feeling about that, right? I mean, I think I could easily assume that. But, you know, it's not really that big of a surprise now, is it? Sorry, but to repeat, but there's other drama Wizards did months ago. Well, the company's totally been taken over by a weird virtue signaller, you know, social, like, fucking, you know, like, I'm trying to think the best way to say it. Like, weird people that are trying to push their social agenda into every piece of fantasy media, they possibly can.

And once a company gets infected with these people, I think that the company is effectively dead. Because you can't get rid of them because then they'll just say everything's racist and then HR will never fire them. So once you get them in your company, the company's basically dead. That's it. Yeah, it's done. And so, like, as soon as you see a company get infected with this, it's done.
