But Sam...this gets more people into magic! Why are you being a nasty gatekeeper? Don't you want more people to play our beautiful game?? Play the naked time sam, do it!
These people are all such unbelievable LARPers. Not a single one of them understands Tolkien or moral ethics. He was not a moral realist, he was a virtue moralist and he AGONIZED over his portrayal of the orcs FAMOUSLY. They are tragic characters.
LOTR is arguably the single greatest example of moral realism in all of literature.
Injecting moral relativism into Middle Earth fundamentally misunderstands Tolkien and flies in the face of everything he stood for.
And don't come at me with 'moral complexity.'
Relativism isn't complexity. It's confusion. It's a collapse of distinctions that has nothing to offer but meaninglessness and despair.
In order to have meaningful 'moral complexity,' you have to establish a distiction between light and dark, right and wrong, good and evil. The complexity arises among characters that must navigate a world where both forces act around, upon, and within them.
What modern Hollywood calls 'moral complexity' is actually just the erasing the distinction between good and evil.
If a story can't show you light and dark, it can't say anything meaningful about them. Classic storytellers understood this. Modern Hollywood has completely memory holed it.

"It isn't woke because I kind of like it"
Scott Snyder is a Democrat who doesn’t like Trump, but “Absolute Batman” is not a woke book.
Rolling Stone’s argument that this book is “progressive” is based on the fact that instead of Batman’s parents being killed in a mugging (a kind of crime right-wingers are concerned about), his father was killed in a random mass shooting at the zoo (a kind of crime left-wingers are concerned about).
Otherwise, writer Scott Snyder has said that he intentionally keeps overt political theming out of the book to keep it welcoming to as large an audience as possible.
I have a pretty sharp sense of woke, and I don’t like it, and I have a diminishing tolerance for it. I do not like some of the choices Snyder has made in “Absolute Batman” for non-political reasons — his preoccupation with turning the Joker into a supernatural monster is something I do not agree with. But I do not consider this book to be woke or left-wing propaganda.
That said, I would not read “Absolute Superman” or “Absolute Martian Manhunter.”
Fuck that’s a cool card. Thank god it’s a generic enough name that I won’t have to use that printing soon enough

I've gained so much more respect for the banana these past couple of years because of how it proves itself everytime someone tries to dunk on it.
Banana > AI Art
Even the men these dudes have the computer make for them are unfuckable lmao
🚨 DATING APP EXPERIMENT 🚨
We put 6’3” Terra Chad up against an overweight woman in NYC for 24 hours.
Terra Chad: 340 likes
Her: 677 likes
She literally DOUBLED a 6’3” attractive guy.
Read that again.
One of the biggest misconceptions in modern dating is that Chad is playing on easy mode.
He is.
But Women are playing a completely different video game…

The Plan?
Create various cubes with nothing but absolutely unplayable bulk and then charge $75 a person to participate in a "multi-course draft night to experience the pinnacle of card design"
this book series catches so many strays for being the only semi-readable entry into a genre that is so unbelievably devoid of anything noteworthy. If you think Dungeon Carl is Not Great but its like fucking Kafka compared to the rest of its contemporaries
