Tolkien's fash fans are exhausting. Eurofash like to call their countries "the shire" and babble about orcs and I'm sick of it.

It's interesting you don't really see much "Sauron/Saruman did nothing wrong" type of ironic shitposting compared to other properties like Star Wars
Shoulda seen the ridiculous thread I unfortunately participated in yesterday on a federated instance. Achtually Frodo was the bad guy for destroying the ring or something I dunno fash arguments are lost on me most of the time

That was some amazing concern trolling shit where the scratched liberal tried to pick up leftist terminology like salad bar selections and fling it while smirking.
I've seen some for Saruman, often from the same bunch that say "Humanity Fuck Yeah" about burning down Pandora and murdering the Na'vi for... being furries or whatever nazi shit is wriggling in their head.
pretty immediate realisation why that never happens when you remember the skin tone of the uruk-hai in the movies (well, the descriptions in the books too, but yeah)
I mean, Temuera isn't exactly the whitest Maori of all time, but kkkrackoids can oddly sympathise with the Maori clone wehrmacht over the eugenically-bred orc warriors with literal black skin and it rlly makes u think
I also think it's just that the orcs are just too clearly monstrous and inhuman to be aspirational compared to, for example, Stormtroopers and Imperial Officers who are just white soldier dudes wearing Cool Uniforms and Badass Armour. Even the Uruk-Hai who have the latter are still lumpy cannibal monsters with comedy British accents
Edit: I looked up the "Meat's back on the menu, boys!" scene from The Two Towers on Youtube. Can you guess what the recent comments reference?

Does it ever occur to them that pretty much every Hobbit apart from Bilbo and Frodo and crew are depicted as brainless feckless backstabbing greedy gammons who waste absolutely no time in clearing out Frodo's house and distributing his shit amongst themselves because he was gone for like half a year?
"The land is beautiful but the people are assholes" sounds like vast swathes of the US. 
the garden vs the jungle for nerds
If they knew Tolkien was probably gay/bi also
I used to teamkill people being racist or shitty in rising storm 2. Sometimes I made it look like an accident.
Look kids, I'm fragging! It's realistic!
My most recent exposure to GTA Online was stumbling across a stream of someone RPing as a cop and complaining about somebody else being autistic, repeatedly telling them to "just get over your disability".
So no change from launch afaik.
deserve no better.

Even if you're completely nato-brained, or even just think the Putin regime is made up of assholes, the Russian language is actually quite beautiful. I love singing Tchaikovsky and Rachmaninov.
I'm convinced every euro is a nazi until proven otherwise at this point. The racism and fascist beliefs are so ingrained I'm genuinely surprised when a euro isn't either of those things.
