who fucking cares. It didn't happen.

Fake news, SJWs love anything LOTR related.

You do realize this is a meme image right? Didn't happen?

surely you jest

how do you mouthbreathers even find this board?

Please tell me this isn't real.

What? The point is that it was just a myth. It meant "man" as in human beings. It could have been anyone.

>>9254104
It's a call for my bros to raid

>>9254047
I sincerely hope the person in question dies a painful death alongside all his ilk.

>>9254112
what did you mean by this? a call? who are your bros?

Okay, I did a search. This didn't happen. Thank God.

Wasn't Eowyn a human bean? Didn't they interpret it as her having fulfilled Glorfindel's prophecy because she wasn't a man?

>>9254255
Please reread my post and reply as if you had read it

>>9254385
Ok now I see what's going on, you think it was actually just a manner of speech or some sort of hyperbole as opposed to being a prophecy made by Glorfindel thousands of years prior, gotcha.

Considering it was Merry that killed the WK, I'd say the cuck in question is a retard of the lowest caliber.

>>9254106
It isn't. Literally just google "christopher tolkien to retire from making public appearances", no results.

>>9254512
Just because the story isn't true doesn't mean it isn't real.

>>9254561
That would be some fucking coincidence then, wouldn't it?

>>9254573
It was fabricated for a reason, the idea of the story and all its ramifications, implications in the public psyche, these are very real and very worth discussing. Arguably more so because they aren't marred by real politics, such a discussion exists in a purely intellectual and academic sense.

>>9254669
Yes, an astute observation, perceptionman

>>9254669
you're really stupid
PS: this isn't an ad hominem. I'm not saying that you're wrong because you're stupid. I'm saying you're stupid because you're wrong in this kind of way.

lolok

OP clearly expected a certain kind of reaction to his image, what and why that is are far more interesting than if his story were true. It's a lot like how people actually go around faking hate crimes against themselves, what seems like an insane meaningless act offers an insight into social ideations and pressures.

>Could a male that identified as a different gender kill the Witch-King?

This question is essentially on the same level as "would Superman or Voldemort win in a fight?"

>>9254669

As a (left) anarchist, I guess I just wanted to be the first to say that (JRR) Tolkien's politics were pretty fucking radical all told.

> Self-described Anarchist
> Anti-fascist
> Detested anti-semitism
> Hated Hitler and his bullshit twisting of the North-Western European mythic tradition
> Strong female characters
> Luddite sympathies (Remember: original Luddites were a progressive labour movement)

Yes, he was a Catholic and a pretty traditional chap, but as a basic summary, Tolkien's lefty credentials check out pretty well, even by today's standards (rather than in his own day).

He is very low on the list of old authors who are likely to cop shit for their beliefs.

Are you also the same anon who actually thought this was real?

Besides that, don't you feel incredible banal, or even boring, for making such an obvious statement. Don't you feel like this didn't really deserve the attention you gave it, the seriousness of your reply?

Dance with me, Johnny

>>9254078
Nah they love Harry Potter. LOTR is for misogynerds and full of straight white devils.

I would like to remind everyone that I asked that we leave the controversy out and instead focus on discussing the plausibility of a male who identifies as a different gender killing the Witch-King.

>>9254707
My only purpose was to initiate a discussion concerning the Witch-King and whether or not a male who identifies otherwise could kill him. As you can extrapolate from the fact that I browse /lit/ I am predisposed to be completely oblivious to any and all social/cultural aspects linked to the image, or any social aspects linked to anything for that matter.

>>9254784
No it's not possible. What you identify as doesn't matter, you still have XY chromosomes, even in magic fairy land.

>>9254808
Would a Maiar qualify? They aren't really men or women, are they

>>9254823
I think that rule only applies to mortals, the angel creatures could probably fuck the guy up anyway. But yeah, I don't think they don't have predefined sex or even a physical body unless they choose to get one.

>>9254834
One "don't" too much

>>9254834
The whole Sauron shebang really seems silly, what with the the Valar dilly dallying across the ocean, jerking it to Noldor ass. They could take one leap and give Sauron and the Wtich king a clean spanking without even taking off their belts.

Too bad they vowed not to. It's up to you now, you mortal fucks

>>9254047
I'm assuming the image is a shopped joke, but honestly given how some people are these days I'm not sure.

>>9254735
>Author self-describing themselves as a Anarchist
>radical
Literally half of all fantasy authors self-identify as a anarchist.

>>9255036

Radical does not mean 'unusual', 'interesting' or 'unique'.

>>9254854
the valar warring with sauron/etc. would have been very destructive to middle earth

>>9254047
Yeah. Why not. It's all technicalities. Didn't Macbeth kill that guy because he "wasn't born" but cut out of his mother's stomach?

Then Link in Ocarina of time wasn't REALLY at kotokiri or whatever the fuck.

The point is, is that it's been like this. It's all cheeky obfuscation and puns. Watch:

Evil King Faggo will die by neither man or woman hand.

Bam! Intersex/agender hero. Go for it.
