Actually Tolkien would be considered racist by todays standard so forget that first question

But is LOTR racist? Anybody notice how evil is always from the east?

I don't watch LOTR.

I do not consider LOTR racist, I do however consider people who try and prove everything as racist, racist themselves.

its definitely eurocentric though ... but u can't say anything about that because he was european himself ... so obviously

tolkien was a fagg0t punk british queer


- Sultan and Sauron have both 6 letters, they begin and end with the same letter and two others are also part of both names/titles. Also "Sauron" sounds likes "Sultan."


- The name of the modern capital of Turkey, Ankara, is close to (the Middle Earth region) Angmar. The Witchking of Angmar was the commander of Sauron's army.


- Wien is Vienna's German name - turn the W around and it will remind you to Minas Tirith.

- The Barbary Corsairs = the Corsairs from the series

- Orcs fight with scimitars

- Hornburg - Hofburg (imperial palace inside Vienna, formerly looking like a real castle - Burg)

- Saruman sounds like Sulayman (the most famous Sultan of the Ottoman empire) , in fact this is the biggest similarity.

- That cavalry attack at the end of the battle is like the same as in the battle of vienna

Tolkien exposes his f@ggotry

(..)Then I really was upset, for my window is high up above the cliff, and that meant there were bat-riding goblins about – which we haven't seen since the goblin-war in 1453, that I told you about.(...)

1453 is the date of the Ottoman conquest of Constantinople

I took this personally.


no

Who really cares?

i dont even feel like debating

I have no idea who tolkien is.

some f@ggot who wrote fantasy books

was clearly on drugs when he wrote them

Tolkien was quite the interesting writer, his works are renown for their fantastical settings and enticing style.

This. Stop getting so mad about everything.

im probably the only 1 to ever even attempt to read 1 of his books

i was like 12 at the time and the print on the book was nearly microscopic though, and it smelled like dust

so that didn't work out too well

I've actually read the hobbit twice, it was quite an interesting read. As for the lord of the ring's, I've never really found to time to get into one of them.

yeah i tried one of the LOTR books

reminds me of the time I tried to read Jurassic Park, which also sucked as a book

fools saying books are better than their movie counterparts

To enjoy a book you need to think a little, so it's understandable if you want to stick to movies sayf

The disses keep on coming.

^LOL!

Ok, even I need to +1 that.
