" I have the hatred of apartheid in my bones; and most of all I detest the segregation or separation of Language and Literature. I do not care which of them you think White".JRR Tolkien, 1959

ngl this gives Frodo and Sams dynamic a whole new level bc it means they are a poorer brown guy employed by and somewhat dependent on a rich white guy

The Nordic comparisons made Tolkien uncomfortable BECAUSE he viewed it as a racialist term.

it's comical that the same people who would rage against changing the melanin in a fantasy characters skin are the same people that love to think Jesus was white

what annoys me is that it also implies there was also no diversity in the norse cultures.... which is just wrong

it's just so fucking frustrating, TWO major character arcs are about confronting ingrained racist beliefs and overcoming them!!! a whole ass minor sorry line is about overcoming learned prejudices !!! I feel insane today.

Andy Serkis was just in a movie that was made by the same right wing organization that made the sound of freedom. This is not surprising to me

it'll never not blow my mind that so many people pull the "don't make it political" card about LORD OF THE GODDAMN RINGS, a series that at its core is inherently political lmao

Tolkien was political and very much ANTI-racist. He famously gave racists a piece of his mind in letters.

I can't wrap my head around why would Peter Jackson offer his help for this movie. It's starting off from such a bad base. Andy is canonically wrong about things that are VERY CLEARLY explained on the books. I just don't get it

these racist fans wouldn't mind if orcs were black 😑 which is equally frustrating.

I'm seeing comments say "the diversity is in the orcs, there's your melanin coded characters"... I couldn't even comment... it blasted me into violation territory
