Revenge of the Gabagool

Using “Democrat” as an adjective instead of “Democratic” is an irritating little right-wing media thing. Please don’t normalize it.(see: “Democrat men”)

Fantasy media, especially in the tradition of Tolkien, is often full of racist bullshit. “Let’s all imagine a world where race is real and pronounced and easily delineated, each group with their own inherent natures, some noble and others savage. Isn’t this fun?”

I imagine that eventually will happen, right? It’s so easily removed.

Especially in this case, it seems like it would be easy to excise the offending material and repost the episode. I hope something like that happens; it is on the whole a good episode of television and stands without the blackface.

When I first saw the news about the name change, I thought it would’ve been better to go with “Lady Reconstruction.”
