I remember losers whining about Black people in Netflix’s Last Kingdom and Witcher. This is incredibly accurate.
Smh when people find it easier to believe in elves than black people
Or potatos in medieval fantasy. Medieval Europe absolutely had more black people than potatos, because the number of potatos in medieval Europe was zero. But somehow nobody in the “muh realism” crowd gets upset when Sam cooks aftercare potatos for Frodo.
Okay but the potato thing does bother me.
To be fair, Middle Earth isn’t necessarily Medieval Europe, but Samwise Gamgee was described in the books as having darker skin.
You’re right. Middle Earth isn’t Medieval Europe. It’s ancient Europe. That’s what Tolkien imagined anyway. So maybe in mythical European history there were potatoes. In actuality, there were probably a lot more people with darker skin tones in pre-history Europe.
Imagine how angry they would get if there were black elves
And i’m not talking about the Drow here
No no I think they’d be angry if Drow had the same features as Black humans.
Well, there are black elves in Rings of Power, the Amazon LOTR show, and the reactions online were exactly what you expect
