"The Man Who Cannot Deadlift"

Look, as a perfectly ordinary non-racist person, I think it’s hosed up that they cast black people to play characters that were described as dark-skinned in the original story. It flies completely in the face of the author’s vision

e: oh boy, what a terrible snipe. Please give all these lovely nerds swirlies, tia

And almost all the men have short hair. It's like they decided if they could be inclusive about color, they gotta hit the gender norms harder.

It is not a take I am serious about, I'm just generally irritated at the character designs being particularly gender-normy hairwise. No lady dwarves with beards, all the dudes get short hair. In Tolkien of all things!

Oh this is a tolkein thing? It's been a while since I saw LOTR or the hobbit but didn't basically everyone have long hair?

Not to mention that if someone is going around saying that men having long hair contravenes gender norms I'm wondering how they got here from 1955

Yeah, it is. Basically everyone in Tolkien has long hair, it's just how they do. It's weird not to have it, especially on the elves. Descriptions in the books often tend to go ON about their long hair, too.

Like I don't give a poo poo about dudes with long hair or not, I just don't know why you'd specifically give all the men short hair in a show like that unless you had weird ideas about masculinity. They lopped off all the hair on all the male elves but one that I saw. One of them was Elrond!

Wait, the Amazon Tolkein thing has short-haired dudes? That's an odd decision. I'd even call it dumb if cared more.

LOTR was inspired in part by Tolkein's work on Saxon and Viking stories written during the Golden Age of Long-Haired Dudes.

Because it's empirical that they have a lot of short-hair dudes in a franchise famous for male characters with long hair. Makes 'em stand out, better for the wigs on the production side, gives 'em room to grow hair long-term and use that as a marketing gimmick, w/e. It's still true they put more short-haired dudes in it than the previous established average.

Seriously gently caress the diet Nazis using that show as a battleground for their dumb racist bullshit, but the weird way people aren't allowed to say "this poo poo ain't working for me" isn't helping either.

I don't understand why people care so much about what's essentially junk food for your brain that also makes rich people even more money.

Like, maybe try a hobby that isn't getting offended by a kids movie? It's the end of the world that a TV show has a scene that isn't catered to you personally? How pathetic is that? Go have sex or something. Even if it's just with your hand. Who cares. Just try caring about something other than pop culture trends. It's really loving lame.

The absolutely bloodthirsty way many self-proclaimed leftists are responding to Mr. Hitler's minor incursion into Poland is a disgrace that lays bare their true nature.

Also for somebody who spent years whining about the world being too decorum poisoned, Matt Christman appears to be a slimy little decorum-clutching weasel himself when it suits him.

Yes, if there are nazis, we call them nazis, already one of the most dehumanizing and insulting things you can call someone. Much like when another militarized group is marching around killing civilians entirely for their ethnicity, we also call them an insulting and dehumanizing nickname.

Anyway please skip the song and dance and attempt to tell us how a right-wing minority in Ukraine somehow justify anything Russia's done to the country.

Yes! Yes, I do know, and I am aware of what they do, but it won't be the "ukrainian nazis" that will come to this country next after the invasion. Jesus christ. Not everyone is in the comfy situation where the war is a matter of Posting Without Sin where you absolutely have to hand it to both sides or you will risk becoming one of Them With Bad Takes. This year has absolutely shown me that for most goons and americans my region of the world is just set dressing to partition between the empires who deserve to take what they want.
