Its like they get satisfaction of it, they know these people are homophobic, but they don’t care.
The lord of the rings new show chooses black actors, everyone is mad in twitter

Was mad as hell when the made john cho character in star trek gay
It has gotten even worse since that announcement, for example in the Wheel of time tv show they made yet again one of the black guys gay. Or the eternals black gay character, which was totally unnessecary.
Yea fucked up. And btw john korean not black lol
Lol I know he is asian what I meant was that cadaan people are hellbent on making POCs characters gay.
I believe Stannis does not appear in the first novel, so I dunno what they changed. Yh Jon being a Targaryen has not been confirmed by Martin, lol you seem to be unhappy with the way the show turned out
Have you seen the show? Was about to mention that, there won't be any riots lol it's common practice at this point to assume stuff which is not even implied in the source material and doesn't do anything to further the storyline.

G.R.R Martin said as much in a ton of interviews. I grew up on Tolkien's work, and having some coked out Holly-weird exec tear it to shreds feels like a direct attack on my childhood lol.
The last fanatasy book I read was The Shadow of the Torturer by Gene Wolf, 10/10, and The Children of Hùrin (partly). I brought The Great Tales of Middle-earth as a wedding present for my mate's wife but got myself a set as well lol. I'd highly recommend it. The stories in the books aren't self-contained and fit into the larger universe, but they're good.
Fun fact, Tolkien and his wife's grave stones have "Beren and Luthien" written on them

Didn’t angelina jokie play a black character and Scralett johannson play an asian?? At least the random inserted black people stay black and don’t tape their eyes and darken their skin to play asian and black characters like a caricature.
Michael K Williams as Frodo is peak bants looool

I agree with everything you wrote but there is nothing explicitly "Arabian" about the Haradrim. That is just how they were characterised in the Peter Jackson movies. If you read the books, they are repeatedly described as being "brown" or "dark":
Tolkien, J. R. R.. The Lord of the Rings, Book 4 Chapter 3
Tolkien, J. R. R.. The Lord of the Rings, Book 4 Chapter 4
You could argue the "brown" described here is not "African brown" but then, just like the movie designers, it would be your interpretation of the text. Monolith Productions, the studio behind Shadow of Mordor and Shadow of War games (both crap games btw), decided to portray them as Africans and it worked:
On a unrelated note: you should have seen seethe this generated in some circles on the internet whose experience with Middle Earth doesn't extend beyond the movies.
Why the Controversy Over a Black Actress Playing Anne Boleyn Is Unnecessary and Harmful
Long before Jodie Turner-Smith's miniseries came under criticism, British Indian actress Merle Oberon portrayed the Tudor queen
Imagine Martin Luther King portrayed as a white man, or a documentary on Aden Caade using a Indian, all in the name of "diversity"
“t was all about this being the right person for the job, rather than what we as a society might perceive as the ‘right look’ for the job.
