I don't like my fictional characters being bix noods. It fundamentally changes my experience and makes it impossible to emotionally invest myself in their fates.

ayy lmao they all look like white people dyed brown

Frodo was always a trap tho

if race doesn't matter why can't they all be white?

>Why do you have a problem with altering the races of established characters when they don't matter?

If the races of established characters don't matter, why bother altering them?

If the races of established characters don't matter, why do people make a huge stink over representation from said characters?

If they don't matter, why alter them?

Write your own stories shithead
Put as many poc as you want

Literally, though, in Lord of the Rings, race is more than a dozen major plot points.

Black with blonde is shit looking
T. That one nigger with proper grammer

Who said race doesn't matter?

That's the funny thing about Galadriel in this context, her hair is canonically blonde and was so sought after as such, that it caused a goddamn war.

Changing her race to black doesn't work with the character, not because "ugh ugh she white" but because he hair is some fuckin' Dennis Rodman dyejob shit now. That ain't magic.

>capital T
Yep, defs a nigger.

>Why do you have a problem with altering the looks of establishbed characters when they don't matter?

...

I'm not a racist and I can be bored by white-washing in films as much as the next guy.

But the LOTR lore just happens to be one where races objectively exist and have been described. And the mythology the universe (and the races) are based on just happen to stem from white cultures.

Pic related is an example for a people based on a different culture (Arab/Persian), who are not portrayed as white.


Dear lord. Next thing I know, people are gonna want to remove the racist undertones in Lovecraft stories.

I don't. what bothers me is when dumbass sjws think that movies with non white casts are inherently better than those that have predominantly white ones.

I don't like niggers in my fiction.

Every character in that picture is Caucasian, and only two are non-white

>Altering the memesistem

Leave the original charaters as npc twich the shit out of your onw character

there are at least 6 nonwhite hipster cartoons in that image

I hate niggers.

There is really nothing more about it then my hate for nonwhites.
I hate to read about them unless they are geting killed and I hate hearing about them unless they get killed and I hate seeing them unless they are dead.

Remember Lord of the Flies? That book was intentionally written to have only boys because the author didn't want sexuality to be part of the moral. He wanted it to be all about just people in general, so he made them all little white boys.

If you start genderbending and racebending the characters, you change that and more things come into play. It's compromising the artistic vision of the creator.

Because they fetishize non whites. They treat them like fucking totems that will make their shitty work more successful through virtue of looking the way they want them too.

Trust me, I'm a leaf, i know this all too well.

If race don't matter, why legolas has to be elf and not a goblin?

Because every time it happens its obvious that there's some agenda or pandering etc. and it takes away from the experience knowing that whatever it is your experiencing, whether its a movie or a book or whatever, is made for the purpose of pushing forward a particular mindset that has nothing to do with the story you came for. Its distracting and annoying and encouages debates and arguments where there didn't need to be any.

your right we should make darth maul blue because reasons.

post the undertale one
I dare you

kek

totally agree

what someone does on the internet i dont give a rats ass about in the grand scheme of things, I don't like it but they have the freedom of expression. What gets my goat.is that diversity has become the only means of expression and if you dont follow that meme your hobby gets destroyed by lgbtqrstuv mods of whatever website you are on

>Why do you have a problem with altering the races of established characters when they don't matter?

People can draw and imagine them however the hell they want, it's when actual companies start trying to produce gender/race bent versions of existing intellectual properties purely to pander to tumblr-types rather than actually creating something original that it gets annoying.

I'm not gonna lie, this triggered the fuck out of me. It made me realize I'm young enough that a LOTR remake is possible in my lifetime and this might happen

Eh?
The race is an integral part of their character and personality.
Or are you going to claim that races dont have personality traits?

>Galdalf appears
>smacks lips
>I say!
>Adjusts cloak
etc etc

I don't.
But people that do it do.

They get all upset and scream whitewashing.

4pbp

>It made me realize I'm young enough that a LOTR remake is possible in my lifetime

Christ man don't even say that.
I really do hope that if jackson wanted to squeeze the last few blood-tinged drops of milk from this ragged nipple of a series he would make a film (or three, more likely) of the silmarillion, which could be pretty fucking based considering modern CG

I actually think Silmarillion would be better if it was picked by HBO and done as a mini-series instead of as films.

Bam!

Whatever man, I just want to see Ancalagon the black on screen

appropriation

what are you, a shitlord?

>grammer
Bait?

Yeah that black panther guy was cool and all , but I think Chris Pratt would be much better as him.

>story based on Anglo/Nordic culture and folklore
>HUURRRRRR LETS MAKE ALL THE CHARACTERS COME FROM DETROIT

I used to have an issue.

But now they've altered the race of my entire country, the continent it is culturally a part of, and the entire civilized world, I really don't care any more.

What is "Black Tolkien" compared to "Arab London"?

The battle has been lost, so we're just seeing what will be soon to happen to our culture and heritage anyway.

i wouldn't want hollywood to take a Chinese or Indian fantasy stories and throw white ppl in it.

>literally what you just said

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Great_Wall_(film)

It's set in fantasy ancient china and has an entirely asian cast apart from fucking matt damon as the lead and willam defoe as a cameo.

This triggers the fuck out of me too.

Like- Jesus Christ, Can't whites have anything to ourselves?!
It's a high fantasy movie/film series based on European mythos.
There are no blacks! I don't care if elves aren't human, they have blond hair!!

In the same way that there shouldn't be whites dudes in a Samurai movie, blacks shouldn't be in a medieval movie.

>Can't whites have anything to ourselves?!

No. I thought the last 50 years established that.

Read what I said What does it even matter at this point? They have already won. So all we're seeing is them establishing their place in their culture.

We're an extinct race. Ready for the history books.

Why do you care about Elves when they already have the real world and the future of it?

>all the elves are black
>frodo brings ring to rivendell
>ring "disappears"
>SHEEEIT DEM SHORTIES BE RAYCIS YO
But honestly making Saruman a woman, the character who fucks around with orc-niggers and betrays everyone for personal gain, does make a little sense.

Yeah I think that's pretty dumb as well.
I heard it was for two reasons.
1)So whites don't think it's some foreign film
2)The Chinese love Matt Damon for some reason.
All about the benjamins.

Oh god, I used to read Tom Preston's stuff, long before I took the "redpill."
I stopped because of all his SJW shit, even before I knew what it was, It just bothered me.

They aren't human so this makes no sense

>1 post by this id
>trap
niqqa his feet are hairy as fuck

Really inflates my brain

fucking kek

They all have established traits and geneology tracing it back to their earliest ancestors. We would know if they were anything other than what they were.

Literally the only person in ALL of Tolkien's work that could be some other rando race would be Al-Pharazon from the Numenorians. He took a new (old) naming style and followed a different culture than the previous kings and all the kings after. And even he was described as just like the other Numenorians.

>inb4 black Numenorians

I've got news for you, user, they already do want to:
barnesandnoble.com/blog/sci-fi-fantasy/rewriting-h-p-lovecraft-a-writers-roundtable/

That's not true, London can be retaken.
Britain is still a white majority nation- my anglo brother.
So long as there are still whites on this earth there is still hope.

You do know that the government, the police, the media, and (most importantly) the army, is on their side, don't you?

Nah, its an author who doesn't like the racism but understands it's a core foundation of Lovecrafts mythos.

As long as it's fanfics, I don't give a shit.
But degeneracy and sucking Anglo-dick is part of his own work. If they tried to censor that, the books/shortstories would be worthless.

What?

Creator's intent should be the final decider. Tolkien didn't want nigs or naggers in his story because white men are superior.

Yes, but he was a white man so he'd be biased. Best to ignore that and properly reflect the world that's to come.

A slimy traitor and an idiot who stutters more than Obama. Awesome.

It's already over for white people, friend. In the near future, the only white people and real men will be a couple hundred people who rule the world government.

Elves are supposed to be intelligent, angelical, and serene.

Yeah, let's make them black.

1. It usually denotes a lack of creativity on the part of whoever is altering the characters. Rather than coming up with original ideas, they would instead take something that has already been successful in its own right, and shoehorn in unnecessary changes that have nothing to do with why the franchise is what it is.

2. If it doesn't matter, than why make the change in the first place?

3. In fact, it does matter. The bigger a franchise gets, the deeper the lore goes, and character identities inevitably become story material. Tolkien did this particularly well, because he based many facets of his fictional world upon real relationships and cultures. With enough foresight, a creator can make a world where characters and places have reasons for being what they are, instead of being X for the sake of being X.

Just stop posting shitskin

Well, i have no words. Really, i thought that was just a meme.

One thing is just "we need muh races, muh diversity" but another very different is altering the fucking characters to make them more acceptable for the stupid current cultural revolution.

Niggers get really, really, really bent out of shape when you racebend their characters; our outrage doesn't even compare. I want to see good remakes, without having diversity crammed down my throat.

Guess it's time for a black Tarzan. And hey, why not remake "Roots," except make all the slaves white and the slavemasters black. That'll show those privileged fucks!

Very nice user.
I needed that.

Again she fled, but swift he came.
LeDashAh Toilieta! LeDashAh Toilieta!
He called her by her elvish name;
And there she halted twerking.
One moment stood she, and a fifty
His wallet rained on her: Beren came,
And welfare fell on LeDashAh
That in his arms lay bixnood.

Tolkien was influenced by european mythology, its the reason why Lotr characters are white.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/J._R._R._Tolkien's_influences

that's why LoTR is basically the last legit movie which hollywood is capable of producing

never again will we have a movie without unnecessarily shoehorned sjw fantasies

What would happen if an established black character were recast as white?

A modern day reimagining of roots where all white people are just constantly subjected to racism for just being white. The protag gets more and more jaded by life living in a hellhole that keeps him down for imagined racism. He discovers the works of Adolf Hitler and rallies his white brethren to go back to their "roots".

Fine...Let's make a movie with a white Shaka Zulu

Okay I'm just going to make every black a white guy now and claim I'm being progressive. There's really a shit ton Wrong with this outside just, we're pandering.

I also hate how they are so inept that they can't make there own character and have to ruin our shit.

Because it's always taking away whites. It's a pure anti-white agenda. Literally nobody is arguing for other races to be replaced by whites in media.

The world was young the mountains tall
In Elder days before dat fall
Of mighty KANGZ in nargothrond and gondolin
who now beyond the western seas have passed away
the world was brown in Durins Day

A KANG he was on carven throne
he fucked dem dwarf chicks wit dat bone
Wit golden chain and jeweled pimpcup
He hit fat Ls while in tha cut
The dranks of purple, gin, and malt
In bottles of shining Kristal bought
Unstopped by cops or cloud of night
There clubbed forever phat and tight

Its how they were written. If they don't like it, then they can write their own fantasy books/movies. This Chinese-tier of copy-pasting is beyond retarded

If race doesn't matter because we're all one human race... then why do Regressive hate mongers like this bigot-artist obsess over it?

Who cares if Lord of the Rings was all White.... race doesn't exist.

so glad the LotRs movies were made before every single movie had to have the appropriate amounts of every race gender creed sexual orientation and religion

All of the races are supposed to represent different groups in Britain, thus it is logical for them to be white since that is what the metaphorically represent.

Of course the KANGZ want to be Elves

WE WUZ ELVES N SHEEEEEIIIIITTTT

>YOU HAVE DREADLOCKS OMG CULTURAL APPROPRIATION
>Heh, yeah, so what if that character is traditionally white? What are you, some kind of bigot?
