Orcs in The Lord of the Rings ‘show Tolkien was racist’
thetimes.co.uk
> Andy Duncan, a science fiction writer, told the Geek’s Guide to the Galaxy podcast: “It’s hard not to miss that repeated notion in Tolkien that some races are just worse than others and some peoples are just worse than others and it seems — in the long term, if you embrace this too much — it has dire consequences for yourself and society.” He said that he would rather explore why the orcs were serving Sauron.

Hate chan has way more traffic than this site now, if you take away the bots and shills.
The memes are becoming real again
This is an actual news headline.
> 'seeking to understand their motivation'
The motives of a race he created to be evil? For fuck sakes you have to be a complete retard to swallow this tripe.
do you guy know if there is any based SF podcast???
What could this mean?
it means you can identify geometric shapes. good job.
>The LoTR memes become reality
Jow Forums is right again
they've lost their mind, normies
that you are autistic
Wow what a hot take, it's not like people have been making that comparison ever since the books came out.
I actually believe this, it feels that way on a lot of boards. The same threads and replies over and over. I wouldnt be surprised if these threads are preplanned to make the site look busier than it is.
Tolkien was redpilled on the JQ
The leftist tries to violate the reality of things.
Guy goes out of his way to spit on Tolkein's grave so he can make 23c of ad money.
BURGERS, YES
If Orcs and a place called Mordor existed in real life, our leadership would definitely let them into Europe.
They can try to fool the users but they can’t scam the advertisers this way. It’s why Jow Forums’s ads are from low rent nobodies.
This whole site is mostly fake. Everybody moved to hate chan, deeper darkness boards, Pleroma, Mastodon, and Urbit. I still come here simply because the stupid nigger shills telegraph their bullshit plans to us, I can check the narrative being shilled here and know what the lamestream media will be saying hours or days later.
This also proves that media shilling and online shilling are directed by the same entities.
But they sort of exist in real life. Tolkien's Middle Earth is essentially early 1900's Britain. It's not even a secret...
This guy? What a schnoz.
Actually, the Middle Earth is pretty medieval. Tolkien despised the modern liberal democracies (even modern Britain).
>Actually, the Middle Earth is pretty medieval.
Well yeah, but they're just stand-ins for early 20th century Britain. Mordor -> Bham etc.
You have to hand it to him, he went above and beyond to avoid saying "Wow these horrible, disgusting, malignant, violent, untrustworthy, diseased, filthy, stupid, mutated, corrupted, thieving, stinking Orcs sure do remind me of certain people." and just declared the idea of Orcs in general to be racist. Tiptoeing around the landmines he planted in his own path there.
Fuck off with your bullshit op
Orcs eat man-flesh. They are savages of the lowest order. Uruk-hai used them for grunt work and cannon fodder.
Did the geniuses at Times of London not realize that they used Peter Jackson's version of orcs? Lol. Fucking retards.
Coming up next:
>Scott Ridley's characterization of xenomorphs in Alien as mindless killers is highly xenophobic
It’s meant to be set in the Iron Age dummy. So a thousand years before medieval times at least.
The fucking memes run the world. Is it time to just off myself? I have seen everything.
memes become reality.
*Ridley Scott
Now that you mention it they're a stereotype for niggers.
>reproduces via parasitism
>able to reproduce so fast they overwhelm anything
Politically, Tolkien's Legendarium is very inspired in European feudalism.
Also rape and being too dumb to use tech
Mordor is the "threat from the east". It was supposed to warn people of Bolsheveiks
Africa is in the East in Middle Earth
Real Sauronism has never been tried
i'm surprised no one asked Tolkien (while he was alive) why he didn't make any black elves.
Instead liberals are just assuming it's because of racism.
Nope the closest analogue to Africa in Middle Earth is Far Harad which is in the southern part of the continent. The East is inhabited by the Easterlings which are loosely based on asiatic horse riding warriors.
odd, there was someone posting this exact, verbatim message on a different thread (about racism, oddly enough, the thread with Locke from Lost as the pic)
i wonder if this is a bot, or blueshare type shill, and this is their newest strat to derail any conversation
Liberals love talking about shit they know nothing about.
In Tolkien's letters he states that they are necessarily bad, but he almost wrote unredeemably bad and decided against it. Orcs were more like wild animals who were subjugated by Sauron to serve his will. When the great eye is destroyed disorganization and chaos spread through their ranks. They were either once men or elves who were corrupted by morgoth/Sauron, evil cannot create life only corrupt it.
Man I gotta read the Silmarillion again.
Orcs are just evil Elves
WTF I love Lord Of The Rings now.
Literally mud people
These people don't really know anything about Lord of the Rings and just want to be offended by something.
Seems that their witch hunting ground is becoming exhausted since they post that bollocks.
Orcs literally are not people. Just because they walk doesn't make them sentient, never mind human.
>tfw no one reads Tolkien
>tfw orcs are small, cowardly and simpering
>tfw he was writing about Chinese
>self identifying as goblinos and goblinas
looks like meats back on the menu boys
What is hate Chan? Sorry I’m so uncultured.
Saturn
this has got to be satire. life imitating art once again
If liberals go to Zhadum, they will die.
Holy fuck, underrated.
The rape alien was a black man all along
>we memed orc posting into reality
Our demise can't come soon enough.
Jow Forums is a politically incorrect board my nigger. Reddit awaits you.
Enslave all the races and rule over them like a fucking jew and they look like a jew too.
Motives were pretty fucking clear and out there.
Kek. I love the alien franchise. This post made it greater
Do it
Jow Forums was right again
A place where you and I don't belong. Stay thirsty my friend
>If
>pedo-goblin bill gates
Why is Jow Forums so bluepilled on the dwarves?
and yet somehow this racist prophecy became true.
there's orc's in the shire gandalf!
Context?
