It isn’t intended to.  And that’s part of the problem.

I wish the Rings Of Power had something going for it other than being pretty in places, but if I wanted to watch glorified fanfiction I could just go to YouTube or rewatch PJ’s trilogy (which at least had the right vibe and dialogue). And when I learned that they basically can’t touch the Silmarillion at…

100%.  The show sucks because Amazon decided to create their own dumb fanfiction instead of just being patient and acquire the rights to The Silmarillion and other material.

At what point are these guys at Amazon just going to admit the show sucks and stop strawmanning the .00000000001% of comments they got that didn’t like black elves?

Not according to Mark Zuckerberg.

It stops being funny when these “compassionate human begins” think its okay to basically engage in gender mutilation before kids are even old enough to develop basic critical thinking skills.  You people cry about Christianity and nationalism yet you don’t seemingly get that what your doing is way worse.

Eh, I’ve never seen a political group that embodies the concept of projection more than the Democrats.  At least the Republicans are honest about what they want with policy.

Lol she was cancelled for literally no reason and got hired elsewhere. If she’s not right about trans people, then why is there a movement on Twitter from gays and lesbians to literally disown them due to the fact that trans people both directly and indirectly marginalize people of oppressed sexual orientations?

Seeing all this whataboutism about Trump and literally no criticism about Biden is rather weird, considering he’s been POTUS for 2 years now and it has been proven that the Hunter Biden laptop story was intentionally suppressed by most news organizations back in 2020. I guess critical thinking really has gone down the…

The only people who think white privilege actually exists are the same people who think Thomas Edison stole the lightbulb or that white Americans created the international slave trade.  Being of Nigerian descent, I feel embarrassed for anyone left of center at this point because they’re literally trying to rewrite…

Neo-liberals and leftists and the people you likely vote for created Elon Musk. Don’t cry now just because you can’t put the genie back in the bottle.

Just to play a little Devil’s Advocate here - I’m pretty sure the people who subscribe to Reason and who take their libertarianism seriously (or at the very least are more educated about the various going-ons in society) would probably write you off as a simpleton and/or an idiot for throwing anyone who doesn’t…

It strikes me as rather ironic to see an article indulge in the sort of lame, surface-level snarky name calling that the author is supposedly above. I see “woke” people wearing “Nazi” styled haircuts thinking they’re punk (or a facsimile of it). Would you throw that little zinger into an article if you were writing…

What’s funny is that Tucker is right.

To be fair, I’ve read some CRT texts that, for example, claim that Thomas Edison “stole” the lightbulb from Lewis Latimer.  So when you see blatant falsehoods like that littered throughout newer curriculums, it seems to me that a lot of parents’ anger over what is actually being taught as history is justified.

Lol they deleted my comment because I said the mention of Hillary Clinton was sus. That’s pretty messed up, Kotaku.

Lol since when did Kotaku writers make excuses for the Clintons? I hate Trump too, but come on now.

I’m looking forward to the day that science can cure transgender people by aligning them with their biological sex so that society can stop trying to tell me that it’s normal to live in a world where trans people tell me that the world’s biggest problem is that heterosexual men and women aren’t having sex with trans…

Stephen, why do you hate people of color you disagree with? Racism really is alive and well...thanks to The Root.

How did a crybaby bitch like Stephen A. Crockett Jr. become Senior Editor at The Root?
