Ha.
ZeoVGM's attempt to derail failed this time, but he'll be back at it soon enough. He's one of those "allies" that loves to shout how much of an ally he is every chance he gets. Not surprising either the dude's a hypocrite as well. Pretty common for folks like that to forget the "skeletons" in their own closets in their rush to judge and condemn others.

I think it's a pretty safe indicator that something's off if they've already got more than 20k posts there.

5k for mods; they gotta be more careful!

On Thursday, June 21'st, I had my second outing of the season, once again at Harris Creek. I sunk back into the same spot as in the first outing, the quicksilt being thicker than last time. Due to its thickness, it locked up tighter when I tried to pull myself out, and therefore took much longer to escape. In fact, during at least one of my off-camera extractions, I had worked myself almost out, except for just a part of my foot, and I still couldn't pull it straight out! I had to agitate it more before it finally unwrapped/let go of the front part of my foot completely! I did some off-camera sinking before doing my video. I took a number of pix of the same spot from different angles before and/or after various sinks, so the surface looks different each time, even though it is from the same spot. Feel free to use these for fakes!  :)

if i watch these quicksand videos, and there isn't one where a person tries to pull someone out with a stick, but it actually is a snake, i'll be very disappointed.

User Banned (Permanent): Thread derail attempt and hostility; recently returned from a long ban for hostility, and account in junior phase.

This punk ass racist has an OT and this "A big part of the problem with a blanket ban is that it will hide the issue and make sure that nobody talks about it.", is a weak ass response , how is it that other issues on this site get dealt with quickly but hey he makes dumbass videos that people enjoy so lets leave it up with a disclaimer.

Today Ree is upset that LOTR is too white and isn't a celebration of multicultural diversity. Despite it being famous for it's diverse range of hobbits, elves, orcs and jawas.

It was written by a pasty old British dude in the 1930s. :thinking

I wouldn't expect much diversity out of Beowulf either.

At a certain point I realized I just couldn't invest myself in this lore where black people just didn't exist nor asians or hispanics or brown people, oh and unless you're an elf, no women doing anything important especially when it comes to combat.

I think the Blue Wizards got caught up in the Middle-Earth equivalent of the Middle East or Asia IIRC. So other human races are probably canon but LOTR focused on a different part of the world. 🤷🏻‍♂️

I mean that chick killed the Witch King. :hmm

How active were women in combat during the Middle Ages? :hmm

The race of men in general was portrayed as extremely weak and shitty. That was kinda the point. :lol

The fact some of the most powerful characters are elven women shouldn't really get handwaved away either...

I'm not familiar with the deep lore of LOTR, but is this ever contextualized? Like they joined him for some reason? Or is it literally dark skin bad.

It’s literally dark skin = bad

Watching the Fellowship movies again recently and it's pretty outrageous how there is literally just not any black people in them.

Outrageous!

Are these people really happy about the random token representation that modern movies like Frozen 2 have squeezed in? I'm curious how the Amazon show will handle it, but I hope that it goes beyond "there are all kinds of hobbits now" and actually integrates it into the narrative.

Looks like he went out of his way not to kill anyone. And I haven't seen anything about motives or ideology yet.

Not saying he's not a terrorist, but it seems like a highly unusual game plan if striking fear and panic amongst the populace was the primary goal. Seems like he had a more specific goal in mind.

He drove a truck bomb into the middle of the city and set it off. Just because he played a recording doesn’t mean he “went out of his way not to kill anyone”, you absolute psycho.

Quote from: alternate universe BossAttack
I've read Black Panther comics and I've watched the movie. Yet, I've always been interested in the "expanded" content such as crossovers and those other earlier published works. Recently I was watching some lore videos and started to get interested again until all the fanart in these videos showed nothing but black dudes.  Fucking Wakandan motherfuckers with their black city and black rituals and African symbology everywhere, like holy fuck.

At a certain point I realized I just couldn't invest myself in this lore where white people just didn't factor in.

Is this just dumbass fanart or does the expanded material really describe all those people as black/dark skin?

 :hmm

how would you integrate ethnic hobbits into the narrative beyond "there are all kinds of hobbits now" in a non-problematic way?

do you show racial tension between black hobbits and white hobbits, importing our world's issues into a fantasy one and subtly condoning them by implying blacks and whites can't get along in any universe?

do you make merry and pippin black, thus importing the problems of Michael Bay's "black" transformers, y'know, the comic relief has to be black?

do you have the council of elrond and now there's a new black elf and elrond is like "oh there is no way we're conducting this meeting without the wise council of Samuelle'ell Jacksonne, the darker skinned elves are well known for being the wisest of elves"

User Banned (1 Week): Conspiracy Theorizing

I wouldn't put it out of the realm of possibility that this is part of the official cyberwar going on between Five Eyes and Russia\China\NKorea.

They were trading blows recently, so if this doesn't end up to be some domestic 5g lunatic, I'd consider them.

testing weaknesses in physical infrastructure, maybe? seeing how we respond during a pandemic?
Definitely sounds like Dark Army to me.

Some characters will just have dark skin, and it wont be addressed in any way.

right, and to me that's not integrated into the story or anything more than "there's black hobbits now", not necessarily a bad thing it's just how it has to be done

witcher is another very white world and they made up a new character for young ciri to be friends with in the woods who amounts to "oh I guess there are black elves now and nobody notices"

You can argue that skin color as a social divide, is specific to our world and not a given in every scenario.
I find it odd (and to a degree, potentially problematic) in historical revisionist contexts, but ok in fantasy ones.
In this case, i think it's more about you much you care about respecting Tolkien's original vision, versus catering to modern sensibilities.

Dwarfs = dead

The Shire = destroyed
Elves = too busy hacking the Matrix

I mean, you can even argue that skin colour as used by that poster as a social divide is specific to the United States, because of its specific history.

It's not like people in china or india were sat there going "Oh, I really want to watch this big box office blockbuster from asnother culture, but I just can't get into it because TOO MUCH WHITEY".

Correspondingly, I'll be prepared to put money down that BossAttack has never watched a single Bollywood film in his entire fucking life.

Yes, but this is American money, spent on a show for an American audience (mostly) so it makes sense to cater to that specific subgroup.

Don't get me wrong, i think that poster is being absurdly self-centered (ironically) and culturally obtuse, i'm just saying if they put in some black/asian actors in the Amazon adaptation of the books, it'd make sense in many respects.-

I mean, sure, if you want to ignore the subject matters cultural roots to make it an artifact of contemporary US tokenism checkboxes, you make sure you cast:
  • The Black
  • The Gay
  • The Latino
  • The Asian
  • The Woman

for your Plus Quota, then you make sure:
  • The Angry One isn't also The Black
  • The Lazy Comic Relief One isn't also The Latino
  • The Academic One isn't also The Asian
  • The Promiscuous Thirsty One isn't also the Gay

and you have your Black aloof sexless Gay Wizard, your angry Asian Fighter, your horny Latino Woman elf, and your bumbling idiot White Man halfling cast good to go.

Hey Resetera, call me when you get on my level: I've read all of Lovecraft's major and most of his minor works even though he thought I belonged to a subhuman ethnic group.

You can argue that skin color as a social divide, is specific to our world and not a given in every scenario.

I mean, you can even argue that skin colour as used by that poster as a social divide is specific to the United States, because of its specific history.

It's not like people in china or india were sat there going "Oh, I really want to watch this big box office blockbuster from asnother culture, but I just can't get into it because TOO MUCH WHITEY".

Correspondingly, I'll be prepared to put money down that BossAttack has never watched a single Bollywood film in his entire fucking life.
Yes, but this is American money, spent on a show for an American audience (mostly) so it makes sense to cater to that specific subgroup.

Don't get me wrong, i think that poster is being absurdly self-centered (ironically) and culturally obtuse, i'm just saying if they put in some black/asian actors in the Amazon adaptation of the books, it'd make sense in many respects.-

I mean, sure, if you want to ignore the subject matters cultural roots to make it an artifact of contemporary US tokenism checkboxes, you make sure you cast:
  • The Black
  • The Gay
  • The Latino
  • The Asian
  • The Woman

for your Plus Quota, then you make sure:
  • The Angry One isn't also The Black
  • The Lazy Comic Relief One isn't also The Latino
  • The Academic One isn't also The Asian
  • The Promiscuous Thirsty One isn't also the Gay

and you have your Black aloof sexless Gay Wizard, your angry Asian Fighter, your horny Latino Woman elf, and your bumbling idiot White Man halfling cast good to go.
Sure, i'm not suggesting they're being "diverse" because Bezos is a big ol' progressive soul.
They're just serving the market, which at the end of the day, it's what tokenism is all about.

To me, this isn't any different from those American remakes of Asian movies, but with an all American (mostly white) cast, and set in a US city.
