minus-squarefox [comrade/them]hexbear14·3 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]hexbear1·3 years agoTolkien might be second only to Nietzsche on having his work be loved by white-supremacists despite absolutely hating them.
