Who banned LotR? This must be new, surely, it's not very concrete in its' allegory
Discussion
It looks like some are on there for being sexually graphic, depicting racism, and I'm not sure why LOTR gets on there... maybe the right is a little too right sometimes? Or does the left get to ban some books when the right bans some. IDK
I remember Harry Potter was very controversial back in the day for teaching kids "witchcraft". The last time I read it in my mid 20s, I was surprised how Rowling hid a lot of Christianity in a bestseller kids' book.
i liked this comment from someone: "that's what the tall shelves are for in the library"
yeah, iirc, in LotR actually Aragorn was quite dark skinned, but the orks were mostly dark skinned... but so were the forest elves, relatively speaking
like, what the fuck, this is a whole fictional other universe, do we hate on star trek because the romulans were yellow and the klingons were dark while the humans were mostly ... oh wait... chinese, russian, anglo, frenchy, african...
i hate statists, they are all going to hell, and i hope i get to do a little excursion to watch them boiled over and over again
blue lives matter, up with the cybernetic hive mind borg! lol
Ohh, I thought it was for depicting magic, but racism is another angle.
ah, yea i can imagine the old days fascist right wing "christian" banning of tolkien for those dirty talismans and such, and the palantir and so on
what i loved about it, didn't even read the whole thing until years later, was the dwarven runes and the elvish script lol... same thing for me with the Dark Crystal... all those crazy astrological/gnostic geometry things
i am a programmer but really my first love is codes
