Game of Thrones had bisexual Oberyn.
Star Wars had tons of minorities - Lando, the cast of Rogue One, like half the cast of Obi-Wan
Lord of the Rings had powerful women doing cool shit.
But viewers just know forced woke bullshit when they see it. Reva on Obi Wan was horrible. I'm sure this Ring of Power shit is horrible.
Stop hiding behind "viewers are bigots" - you were so focused on diversity that you didn't bother crafting a character behind the gay trans person. |

i really resent all the "STFU YOU BIGOT" shit. all of these media franchises have had minorities and women doing shit. it's like everyone criticizing she-hulk twerking must be some bigot when decades before the mcu marvel was doing progressive thigs. shit the entire x-men is a thinly veiled allegory about racism and discrimination. and i was a ultra fanboy. same thing with all the other shit you mentioned.
empire came out in 1980, ostensibly when libs believe in was still super duper ultra raycis for blacks, and i don't remember anyone complaining about lando. because lando wasn't some token forced woke bullshit character. |

The same way Black Panther is a great movie because you feel like you are in a real place when you watch those scenes. The scenes in Black Panther would not have worked if half of the people in Wakanda looked and acted like Ron DeSantis. |

Date: September 8th, 2022 9:21 AM Author: histrionic startling temple Hobbits at all in the 2nd age is highly questionable. What they would have looked like is up for grabs. My take on the casting is that we’re supposed to look past the race of the individual actors. Kinda like casting Denzel as Macbeth (or Anthony Hopkins as Othello). I don’t think the skin color of the actors is meant to indicate anything substantive about the characters. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5187609&forum_id=2#45135948) |

Have a powerful woman if you want, but her power should come from her sexual hold over men-- like in real life. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5187609&forum_id=2#45135846) |

Date: September 8th, 2022 9:22 AM Author: Disturbing Wonderful State Pervert The only "white" male protagonist is playing Elrond, actor was born in England, but he's of Spanish descent. The rest of the white male actors are playing the equivalent of Nazis/white supremacists. The rest of the protagonists/good guys are women or POCs.
The problem isn't the promotion of women and POCs, it's the attack on white males. Libs have gone too far.

Date: September 8th, 2022 9:31 AM Author: histrionic startling temple What characters are the Nazi equivalents? Gil-Galad is arguably the biggest hero of the 2nd age. Celebrimbor is a tragic character. The Dwarves seem pretty cool; not getting any facist vibes from Durin. The Southrons are still half-corrupted from the first age so maybe some of those dudes?
