it was written by JRRT, it was however not compiled, edited, or published while he was alive. It is true however some of the chapters were very well complete, others simple in draft form and had to be edited heavily, so no hard objection from me.

i just laugh when i read people twitter rage over black skinned dwarves because they're big movie fans but never read any of the Silmarillion. i personally read it once and it was extremely boring, these days i prefer youtube 20-30 min breakdowns of the stories as they're more engaging.

There were dark skinned people in middle earth, like the Haradrim, the dark skinned people we see riding the elephants in return of the king, but none of them were elves or dwarves.

For the record, I couldn’t care less if they add them in the Amazon series but yeah

ya me to when i was a kid. disappointed was expecting another grand story. today though dont remember anything else about it.

Just re-researched and it seems no black elves where in the books, but darker skinned dwarves there were. although it was due to living too close to sauron for too long.

for me personally i dont care about the "woke" choices showrunners for LOTR and House of Dragons make, because i'm saving all of my rage for the shitty plot they write in the show itself. they're going to fuck up both shows 100%.

I went a bit further off the deep end with Lord of the Rings... this is about 1/2 way to the final copy of the map I sold for $500...
I drew it ofc...

looks quite nice!

wow I didn't know you were a cartographer!
Ever been to https://www.cartographersguild.com ?

It took approx. 10-12 full draws to get it perfect. The one in the pic is like 5-6.
I even still have the one I made for the cute pharmacist at the VA....

So I think I get it now. Wokism is when trans people exist, when black people are in TV shows and has something to do with the Frankfurt School and Cultural Bolshevism.

Interesting.

Just wondering - who gives a fuck? Kinda seems like "wokism" isn't really worth worrying about if it's just that black people are in TV shows and trans people exist.

TBH men have far less to be concerned with from trans people than women, and even then it's fringe issues that dont change people's lives, just minor annoyances.

being referred to as "person with uterus" because "woman" is a loaded term, a trans person in your prison or sports event, etc. It's all minor stuff that only vaguely affects women for the most part, yet most of the rage is from men feigning concern.
