Magic fans have known this for about a year. The fact that all the racists are coming out of the woodwork now, when the mainstream announcement is made, tells you a lot about who is really getting angry at this: people who are threathened by pictures in a card game they don’t play. In other words immature, insecure…

There has never been an answer to the question of what’s wrong with making Aragorn non-white that didn’t ultimately boil down to plain racism. Even if Tolkien envisioned him as white (which he certainly would have), his skin colour doesn’t matter. It’s not an inherent characteristic that affects anything about who he…

It’s amazing how ignorant people like you are, including of Tolkien’s writing, which you know absolutely nothing about.

Yeah that’s what’s demented here. Aragorn isn’t a European. Aragorn isn’t white, let alone “Caucasian” or whatever. Aragorn’s full ancestry can be seen here:

Leaving aside that there’s quite a bit more wiggle room in terms of coloration of Tolkien’s characters then people tend to realize, I feel it’s important to note that none of the characters are of European descent either. They aren’t of anything descent. Middle Earth isn’t actually a real place, and this is a dumb…

You do know Tolkein Estate gave their ok on this right?

Once again, are you this dumb to think WoTC could just do all of these changes without Tolkein Estate’s blessing?

I came here specifically to say that not only CAN someone else play The Flash someone else HAS DONE SO as recently as last week.

Two words: Grant Gustin

(Mind, I’ll note that he’s clearly ready to move on from the role, which is fair enough after a decade in it)

Appropriating? Really? What, you think Hasbro decided “lets go steal Tolkein’s work and make a Magic set without permission!”

This set looks fantastic...not just with the art, but that it might finally cause all of the racist idiots who are popping blood vessels over a dark skinned Aragorn to finally leave the game.

Honestly, the “we’ve already seen all-white LotR art for decades” is a pretty good approach to take — why would anyone want to see WotC try to directly compete with versions that are out there, well liked, and generally excellent? (Not you, Ralph Bakshi.)

They should have been a lot more blunt that no one is coming to…

This is your daily reminder that the only power people have over their employers is the one they exercise collectively, as a union. That power is the reason we have safety regulations to make our workplaces safe to work in. It’s why we have 40-hour work weeks and (used to be) unconditional overtime pay. It’s why…

I came here to say the same thing.  A book costs four months of Netflix.  

Yeah, SpaceX is not only doing fine,

Tesla sells a fraction of what actual car manufacturers sell and has completely squandered any lead they may have had in the EV market. SpaceX just blew up their rocket & destroyed the launch facility because man-child Musk insisted on launching on 4/20.

Employers are like strippers during a lap dance; they’ll encourage you by insinuating there will be more all day, but it never comes.

He’s got over 15 million subs on YouTube.  Your anecdotal lack of awareness of him does not negate his popularity.  

Honstely? That’s the smartest thing he could’ve done.
When your passion develops into a big company like that and you’re still interested in doing what actually IS your passion, let someone else do the paperwork and administrative tasks.

Musk denied any involvement or wrongdoing in the case in a Twitter post, writing, “This is idiotic on so many levels: 1. That cretin never advised me on anything whatsoever. 2. The notion that I would need or listen to financial advice from a dumb crook is absurd. 3. JPM let Tesla down ten years ago, despite having…
