minus-squareCrowtee_Robot [he/him]hexbear18·2 years agoThis should be the official party position. Tolkien and race is way too thorny of an issue to get lost in the weeds arguing about dwarves. link
minus-squarefox [comrade/them]hexbear14·2 years agoTolkien was a Brit living in imperialist Britain writing mythology based around Anglo-Saxon myths. It's a miracle it's good. Death of the Author that shit and depict any character however they want that still fits the characterization. link
minus-squareProfessorAdonisCnut [he/him]hexbear1·2 years agoTolkien might be second only to Nietzsche on having his work be loved by white-supremacists despite absolutely hating them.
