    it’s wild to even think a person exists that would think so

    And if I told you that there are people who think like that, and those people are white supremacists?

    "For years, Tolkien scholars have waged a fight on two fronts: against an academic establishment that for the most part refused to take the author's work seriously, and against white supremacists who have tried to claim the professor as one of their own."

      Are you calling yourself a white supremacist tho because you're a person who thinks "vague shit about green skinned primitives is on the level with what harry Potter did" as well

        "No U" is some weak ass shit. Get the fuck outta here with that, right wingers pull that shit all the time to dismiss legitimate criticism, especially of race. You gonna tell me BLM are the real racists next?

        I'm not calling the show racist, I'm simply saying the racists believe it is racist.

          no like literally with how that was framed and by that logic you would be including yourself up in there. I said it is wild to think that such a person exists, you said they do, they're white supremacists. You are the one existing in part of a venn diagram whose beliefs overlap with theirs, by that set of statements. That's not "no you," dawg.

          You gonna tell me BLM are the real racists next?

          🙄 🙄 🙄 🙄 🙄 🙄 🙄 🙄 🙄 🙄 🙄 🙄 🙄 🙄 yes sweaty and antifa are the real fascists 🙄 🙄 🙄 🙄 🙄 🙄 🙄

          I’m not calling the show racist, I’m simply saying the racists believe it is racist.

          so fucking confusing after this long ass argument about the inherent racism of the show, a thing which you believe, but maybe I got you confused for the other guy

            I'm telling you that real life crackers post memes about Goblin Slayer because the racialized Other in the show is just vague enough that people like you won't see the dog whistles while they go on about how goblins are responsible for 60% of the crime while being only 14% of the population, and should be genocided JUST like in the show.

            What you're doing now is saying that Antifa are the real Nazis for pointing out what dogwhistles the Nazi's use. Just because you didn't know about them doesn't mean they don't exist, and when other leftists tell you they do you're putting your hands in your ears and screaming "LAHLAHLAH" like a fucking child just because you don't want to fucking think about what you're watching.

            If you actually think I'm jumping at shadows, engage with my fucking arguments and tell me how they're not far-right dogwhistles rather than pull "Oh you the real racist for pointing out racism" bullshit.

              i'm confused they show trolls depicted as "feminists" does that mean trolls are inherently racist or inherently misogynistic? I just want to get things straight while we're letting fascists dictate terms of language, which is a good thing to do

              i did this when I called you and the other guy nerds who over think shit and told you that arguing with me would be wasting your time

              is saying that Antifa are the real Nazi

              when I said that it was what is called a Joke I thought calling you sweaty would make that clear

                You want to "reclaim" the rape and genocide Other show? Go right the fuck ahead. Why though?

                You didn't do shit. You just don't want to entertain the possibility that you're in the wrong because it'll hurt your precious self-image as a leftist, so you're dismissing all criticism as "overthinking" so that you don't have to put in any effort into defending your position, and you're hiding behind "it's a waste of time" in the hope I back off, rather than do the slightest bit of self-reflection and asking yourself if maybe you might have missed some things because you're only human.

                  I want to not base my thoughts and opinions on "what the fascists like" unlike you, thanks

                  i think you're jumping at nazi shadows and wasting your time and mine, thanks

                    You want to be a free-thinker so much you're mindlessly stanning rape and genocide. How's that working out for you? Won anyone over to your position yet?
