I mean, the key distinction between orcs and elves was that orcs were selectively bred by an evil sorcerer for cruelty and malice, and tortured for generations to achieve this...
It's not like you can just live peacefully with orcs, they fundamentally won't allow it because coexistence is incompatible with their raison d'etre.
It would be like a Ukrainian having a dagger that glows when russians are near. A net positive.
Not sure what point you're trying to make exactly. I swear, some of your comments are almost as bad as the user youcantreadthis.
But yeah, anyone who wants to make a racialized critique of Tolkien's depiction of orcs is really telling on themselves. Like, "I didn't interpret there to be any symbolic connection between orcs and IRL racial minorities. Did you?"
Possibly. Possibly not. Does Gollum still qualify as a hobbit? Even if he retains aspects of Smeagol, he's not very hobbit any more.
He's transformed. Transmuted. It's a life stage that might exist for all hobbits, but like the axolotl not becoming the salamander it could be, hobbits generally don't take the path that leads them there.
And then we ask, is an axolotl a salamander? Is a caterpillar yet a butterfly?
And that still doesn't cover whether Gollum, hobbit or not, would be attractive to the ominous antagonist of this comic.
Tbf, Smeagol was one of the River Folk, who were related to but not quite Hobbits. I think you'd have to answer whether River Folk counted for the guy before deciding whether Smeagol still counted as one of the River Folk

It's a meme, you dip!

I just mean you have a pattern of jumbled, near incomprehensible sentences. Not as bad as the other user I mentioned though.
Although whenever you do get out a complete sentence free of typos, it's usually a garbage take anyway

Sexual violence. Funny.

Sex = violence. Got it.

It's literally a rape joke.

"Hobbit Fucker". Not Hobbit Rapist.

Okay, I must misunderstand the joke. Why is Frodo scared?
PhoenixDog@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 90d
Probably ghosted him, and Frodo is embarrassed by his own actions.

Right, why does the guy look in a way that is reminiscent of internet representations of pedophiles and rapists?
