Except that thinking that you can decide what SEX you are is part of that real evil.

[caww]

Me too....TV programing is terrible....even commercials! There are no boundaries at all!

[RoseofTexas]

You do know when they say strong women you know they mean transgenders or homosexuals portraying the female character!

[Varda]

Yes the female characters in LOTR were strong but I think that’s what these writers didn’t like about them. They were clearly women.
Modern media likes to portray women as men in drag. You know the 110 lb girl beats up all the guys.

In Bored of the Rings, by the Harvard Lampoon, the Bilbo Baggins character was named Dildo Bugger. He wasn’t a tranny, just a nasty old perv.

Very funny book, at least to those of us with a juvenile sense of humor.

"Spellcheck for Bias utilizes artificial intelligence to analyze film and television scripts and manuscripts to identify representation of characters and percentage of dialogue by gender, race, sexual orientation, disability, age and body type. It also analyzes unidentified characters along with several other attributes like violence, discrimination and intelligence. Increasing authentic representation and casting opportunities for underrepresented talent is the goal of the tool, which was developed by the Geena Davis Institute in partnership with the Signal Analysis and Interpretation Laboratory (SAIL) of USC Viterbi School of Engineering."

TV show = 5 minutes of content stretched over 40 minutes

I'm a Harfoot, because J.R.R. Tolkien--who was from Birmingham!...--suddenly there were Black hobbits. I'm a Black hobbit. It's brilliant," Henry said (via WeGotThisCovered).

"Its believable!" BVM!

Just how are we supposed to tell if a character is a strong woman. Let me guess: she unleashes her inner bitch, according to a woman psychologist quoted by Limbaugh once.

[Qui is]

I can see it now, the grey/white wizards, eelves, hobbits and dwarves ill be exclusively people of color/minorities, and the evil goblins will be exclusively white.

No thanks.

[Mr Rogers]

Does anyone BLAME Orcs for wanting free dental care? No wonder they had mostly peaceful protests!

[Captainpaintball]

Dindu Nuffins, Pantsbe Saggins and Sambo Tarley are rumored to be characters.

Then it isnt “The Lord of the Rings”, just ballerinas on parade.

[Louis Foxwell]

Tolkein was a traditional conservative Christian who wrote the trilogy as a Christian parable. Efforts to capitalize on debauchery by perverting the story require Tolkein followers and true Christians to ban this travesty.

[ValleyofHope]

In other words, a real stinker

[Bruce Campbells Chin]

Tolkien's world [I]was[/I] racially/ethnically diverse, though. This show covers the Second Age, for which the source material is much more thin. So I don't have an issue with a racially diverse cast, or some stronger female characters.

But if they go into homosexuality or gender-bending then I'm out.

According to John McCain, we are hobbits.

[Boomer]

So like most every other woke tv show these days that’s not watchable. Why even make it?

[minnesota_bound]

See how this guy nails all the wokeness from Star Trek Discovery aka STD!

Many women, gays and whatevers and terrible writing and acting.
