anime avis: "Tolkien wasn't racist, there's no connection between how they're described and how white people (used to)(100% still do) view BIPOC"

J.R.R. Fucking Tolkien:

Pointing out racism isn't "the REAL racism" you unseasoned saltines, and the language of racial otherness and oppression being used to describe non-human fantasy characters/races isn't an accident.

"orcs aren't human, so it's okay to use dehumanizing/othering/racist language to describe them as subhuman" is the same line that 6Fs used to justify using that same language on REAL people.
"they aren't human so it's okay. they're 'savage.' they're 'other.'"

I'm so fucking tired of having to spell this out for yall dirty-legged thin-lips. maybe if your entire personality didn't revolve around being smug and contrary you'd be capable of more than a surface level understanding of literally anything.

if you think it's still okay in two thousand and twenty to justify race science, biological determinism and dehumanizing/degrading language to describe nonhuman fantasy species, or use racial tension as a plot point: give me a heads-up so I can ridicule you before I block you.
