Conan would hate everything about Donald Trump. He'd strangle him on the steps of the capitol building and take the presidential office for himself

>>51525731
Then he has to fight Melania as she summons the power of demons and turns into a giant snake. Eventually Hillary's master plan is revealed, and the lizard-person army begins to overrun Conan's governance. But Conan will not be stopped so easily.

>>51525772
Sounds about right. Conan loathes big mouthed pampered weaklings like Trump who hide behind bureaucratic apparatuses.

True but I would probably more recoverable had Hilary won. It's been two weeks and Trump has already banned Muslims and is now threatening to invade Mexico. Hillary would have just put us in more debt and continued to bomb Syria and Yemen.

Actually, it's more complex than that. Conan loved the creature comforts of civilized people and hated Cimmeria, but he had nothing but disdain for their laws and how soft they were.

It just seems like a really weird policy choice. Like you say, it doesn't affect the majority of Muslims. It doesn't even affect problem countries like Afghanistan.

It's just weird and just makes me question the administration. I feel like they should have seen this would cause way more problems than it would solve.

>>51533565
Of note, it was actually suggested by the intelligence community a year or so back when the belgium/france terror attacks were happening.

It's based on three things, lots of refugees from those countries, all coming from a conflict zone, and little to no communication with the original country (we have a working relationship with afghanistan's government).

Conan IS DJT. He gets rich off of suckering suckers and literally riding off with their women (regardless of how much a fight they put up) while shitting on any who would threaten his accumulated wealth. And he generally seems to agree with anyone who agrees with him, he seems to get more upset at hulked out guard captains for cramping his style than pampered bureaucrats that are likely to give him payout and pussy for his services.

Does nobody on here read?

>>51534735
Um Conan was nothing like Trump, especially later in life, when he became a King. Conan didn't like laws but saw their necessity, and only actively tried bringing down those rulers who were unjust and when just laws and rulers actually got in his way, he ran away. Do you read? or do you just want DJT to be better than he really is?

>>51534735
>>51534881
Also Conan absolutely despised rape, and killed anyone he saw taking part in such an act, do not ever imply, even indirectly, that he took part in that particular depravity.

>>51534438
>>Trump expressly makes allowances for "minority religions"

Look, I already have /pol/ up in another tab, there's really no need to kill a good conan thread with a spergout. But what I'm hearing here is a lot of subjective association with "just" and "unjust" here and not a whole lot of personality traits.

Anyone can align a noble MC's ideas with their notion of 'just'. "Just" is a completely subjective concept that you seem to be applying to whoever is convenient for your cause. Conan was a decidedly nasty cheat and took no issue throwing the weaker-willed under the bus and dealing dirty to get rich, which is literally the Trump brand.

I wouldn't say it was frequently violent but he definitely didn't mind being forceful in getting his way (not that he needed to his permabulk status)

Conan wasn't arrogant or particularly vicious, in fact, as I recall Howard said that was the whole point of his character, he's far more civilized than most of those who would call him a barbarian.

Yes he was civilized and more than reasonable, but he took 0 shit and showed little concern for others once shit hit the fan. He was by no means considerate to those he did not owe any loyalties to.

>i-it was in a book
helpful. That narrows it down.

>>51535121
I never said he was, he took no shit, unless he was forced to and then he paid it back in an ironic way each time. Allow me to use Google-fu to narrow down the book I only remember him being proud of the fact that he never took a woman against her will, and considered those who had weak, I think.

When are you faggots going to learn, you are the foreign element here. We had a nice little ecosystem etched out here. /pol/ stays on /pol/ and occasionally memes it's way over to /tv/,/k/, and /tg/ for some light shitposting. Everyone ignores it and we go back to our respective hobbies and keep /pol/ on /pol/.

You newfags came en masse, disregarded all board culture and completely faggotized every relevant board here with your inability to contain your autism. It's bad enough that you're ruining /pol/ but on top of that you have to come to /tg/ and throw a fit every time the smallest, perfectly natural meme merge occurs.

I swear just lurk. Until you can tell a meme from a legitimate call to argument. Until then every thread you post in is gonna end up just like this. Once a thread has derailed there is no getting it back

You're still shitposting though. If you hate that people talk about Trump and politics at the drop of a hat, stop fucking joining in with them. It's not just the Nazis that bring up Trump every chance they get, it's also the snowflakes that are still upset he is the president. The same people that hype up every single thing he does as SOMETHING LITERALLY HITLER WOULD DO, OHH GOD HE BANNED AN ENTIRE RELIGIOUS GROUP FROM ENTERING THE COUNTRY.

The thread was not truly lost to shit-posting until you came in with your "Waaah me a oldfag" sperging, and accusing me of starting the shitposting or responding to what you call bait in a relatively polite manner.

Also, I have never found a set of small scale wargaming rules that would do a good job for Conan.

I don't think Arnold would do it, he's getting a little old, but his experience as California's governor would definitely be a great source for inspiration to play King Conan of Aquilonia correctly.

>>51535522
Strawmanning is frowned upon here, also this>>51535542. No, he isn't my husbando simply a character I admire like Aragorn or Sam, Gimli, Leia, Padme, Lara. I can go on, but I think my point is made.

Yes, I think you've made several points abundantly clear here.

>>51535670
Thank you, friend. How can I upboat you?

>>51535637
I thought Jason Momoa did a good job though, and before you ask I did see the original movies with Arnold before I saw that one. I honestly liked the story it presented and he held the spirit of Howard's character just a little better than Arnold did, there's potential there, but sadly it didn't really catch with the general public or with the Conan fans of old. I think the bigger problem with the movie is the supporting cast isn't quite as epic or engaging as they were in the Arnold movies, and that the story was a little too cliche, but that's life.

>>51535709
Yeah, maybe. I think it was just that we had Arnold for so long, and with so many rewatches that he just became Conan for some people. I know that when I read Conan stuff, he always looks and sounds like Arnold's Conan for me.

>>51535681
I don't need any upboat, thanks.

So, not sure if it is just me, but is Dark Sun supposed to be Conan on Crack?

>>51534438
Saudi Arabia doesn't only finance terrorism, it also finances the USA - that's why they're not banned.

>>51535771
Yeah that's probably why it didn't catch, I guess we'll have to wait til Arnie's dead or reprises the role. I always imagined him as sort of irish/scottish for some reason, I think it's partly because they were "barbarians" for quite a long time and that the Romans couldn't actually conquer them out right but thats just me.

>>51535771
>but is Dark Sun supposed to be Conan on Crack?

It's definitely inspired but Dark Sun is much more an apocalyptic sort of setting from what I understand

>>51535814
Stop. Go to another board to continue your argument and political trivia.

>>51535825
Sure, I can see that. Honestly, I never watched the newer movie, just never got around to it. I'm not opposed to someone else as Conan I guess.

>>51535853
Oh sure. I guess it is a post apocalyptic fantasy thing. I just figured it was the sinking of Atlantis thing cranked up to a thousand, and obviously add in D&D too. But there are a lot of differences.

>>51535874
Give it a try sometime. Honestly, Momoa was just the right amount of funny and witty and kept the Uncivilized nature of Conan at the center of the portrayal, at the very least it's entertaining. if you find it doesn't work for you feel free to come back and make a thread to bitch me out for the recommendation.

>>51535920
I'd like to think I'm not that petty to start shit because we like different things.

I'll definitely check it out if you say it is good. I hadn't heard much of anything about it.

>>51536012
Well thanks for listening, I hope it doesn't disappoint you. I didn't mean to imply you'd be petty, it's just this is 4chan, most only seem to do shit for the lulz/kek which really outside of /b/ is rather tiring and pointless.

>I always imagined him as sort of irish/scottish for some reason, I think it's partly because they were "barbarians" for quite a long time and that the Romans couldn't actually conquer them out right but thats just me.
You're now aware that Cimmerians were a historical people who lived in the Pontic Steppe north of the Black Sea.

>>51536662
Does it truly matter where Cimmeria was put on a map? it's a fictional world friend

>>51536730
True, but Howard did write how his fictional ethnicities became historic ones.

Uh, have you actually read anything by Robert Howard? Like, say, The Jewels of Gwhalur?

>>51535825
> Irish/Scottish
He fucking hated the picts though

>>51535638
Good taste in art, too bad you are still a retard.

>>51544512
I honestly do not care.

>>51544560
Me neither.
But I find it kinda amusing that Robert Howard choose fellow 'white men' for Conan's most loathed enemy, and while all black men (nubians, etc) present in the stories are frequently villains, over all they're portrayed as no worse than the white men.(aside from the obvious flaw of not being Conan)

For the 20s and 30s, Howard was remarkably equitable. I'm sorry, I just like to try and process stuff in the context it was written.

>>51544644
Howard was an incredibly forward thinking man, and thats why I said above that Conan is good to aspire to be like in some respects.

>>51535638
I wonder how you'll feel knowing lesbians were schlicking to his art long before you were born.

>>51544644
He also had Chinese Wizards helping Conan defeat his enemies on occasion - that wasn't just a movie thing, several of his stories had them present.

He wasn't forward thinking and his ideas weren't that unusual in the 20s and 30s either which is why he got tabloid space. He was sentimental, darwinist and primitivist but people reponded to and appreciated the criticism of civilization, bureaucracy and patriotism.

It's surprising how much of the 20s and 30s in terms of art. culture and literature do come across as so forward thinking even now.

Yeah, you're right, with todays perspective. I should have said some of Howard's ideas were good and that he seemed to be forward thinking.

>>51544960

Not once. I think at most there was that Vendhya chick, usual Conan deuteragonist, not useful but goodhearted.

REH was racist alright, way worse than HPL. Niggers are frequently almost half-beasts of sorts with no dignity, cannibals and such (see Man-Eaters of Zamboula). It is true that sorcers and generally bad guysy can be of basically any background in the Hyborian age, but there are better and worse cultures, no questions. Interestingly I don't think EVERY culture is presented with a... hrm, genetical "evil/good" axis, most people seem to be tainted by norture and not nature, but Stygians certainly seem fucked up from birth.

Not that I don't like his stories, I mean, could there even be a fa/tg/uy not liking him? Nor do I think in the '30s in Bumfuck Texax being racist was that bad. But I think we should get over it, he was racist allright. Hell, the very idea of the "barbarian" he came up with is somehow racist-y.

>btw it's funny how REH is probably the single biggest influence in Yer Olde Stereotyped Fantasy Map, way bigger than JRRT himself

>>51546689
I can't say I agree.

He portrayed ignoble savages as well as Conan's noble savage, but those are also white- lest anyone forget the picts.

There may have been a disproportionate amount of brown savage cults hidden deep in darkest jungle, but I think that was more artifice of "what color lives in jungles" than "brown is bad".

>>51546689
Tale of the Green Sword. Chinese wizard assists him in defeating an ancient wizard-god that cannot be killed by any earthly sword..

Your move.

>>51546940

There isn't a single decent black man in his stories, and a metric fuckton of "blacks are savages".

Funnily enough there weren't many black cults. I guess it's a combination of having even too much cult shit in "africa" (Stygia) and blacks can have orgies not magic, that needs intelligent sorcerers.

(oh, and Picts were "blacks" to him, or at least not whites)

>>51546987

It's not a REH story, anon.

>>51547188
He might not have considered then "proper whites" or something, but the very definitely were white in his stories.

And while nubia and stygia had bits of eastern opulence and decadence about them, they were about as good or bad as any others, barring ancient priests or sorcerers. And their alignment axis was pretty different from mere mortals, generally.

>>51547833

>"The demon isn't going to get Tiberias' head if I can help it," he growled. "We'll carry the body into the fort. It isn't more than three miles. I never liked the fat fool, but we can't have Pictish devils making so cursed free with white men's heads."The Picts were a white race, though swarthy, but the border men never spoke of them as such.

Beyond the Black River

So well, yeah, honorary niggers of sort.
That's what you get for being proto-irish, I guess.

Stygians are pretty much fucked up as a people, consider how they react to giant snakes in the city in The Hour of The Dragon.

>>51548291
You seem to be putting a bit too much subtext into REH's writing, he wasn't so much a racist, in fact he was pretty mild in his personal racism, he was simply a product of 1920's and 30's Texas and he never let that intrude upon his writings, he didn't put himself in the story save once and he wasn't Conan in that story.

>>51549919
>There were many of his kind in the city. Cannibalism was not tolerated openly in Zamboula. But Conan knew now why people locked themselves in so securely at night, and why even beggars shunned the open alley and doorless ruins. He grunted in disgust as he visualized brutish black shadows skulking up and down the nighted streets, seeking human prey — and such men as Aram Baksh to open the doors to them. The innkeeper was not a demon; he was worse. The slaves from Darfar were notorious thieves; there was no doubt that some of their pilfered loot found its way into the hands of Aram Baksh. And in return he sold them human flesh.

Something that only the blacks did in Shadows in Zamboula.

And yes, they do it for fun

>>51549919
>>51548291
>That's what you get for being proto-irish, I guess.

Howard was of irish immigrant stock.
Interpret it how you will.

>>51523037
In their toes?

>>51550148
He portrayed characters realistically is what you're saying? one antagonist who happened to be black does not a racist make.
>>51550252
I'm aware, but I thought Picts were more Scottish than Irish.

>>51550314

It's the whole (local) nigger population. Do you really nedd more examples? Why can't you accpet he was racist? It's nothing odd.

>>51550336
...?
Having a black person as a villain doesn't make you racist senpai. Having an evil city that happens to be primarily composed of the nationality in which it is located doesn't either.

I mean, you can interpret it any way you want, nobody's stopping you. We're just not agreeing.

>>51533518
For Hell's weapons we have an exclusive contract with Stahl Arms and Munitions. Two reasons mostly. First, I already have Jorhan Stahl's soul. Second, their payment plans are so flexible. You would be surprised how hard it to find a mortal company willing to accept crystallized damned souls as payment.

>>51535214
I know everyone's favorite gun and killing tool. And their favorite pie, oddly enough. That was a weird poker game with Yahweh.

>>51550336
He's not a racist, he never espoused racist beliefs simply realistic ones. Yeah, maybe, some of his beliefs and ideas were proven wrong later, but that doesn't make him a racist. He never, in his entire life, showed HATE for all cultures other than his own. Howard, in fact, ripped his own culture apart with astounding regularity. Do you not know that a racist hates all other cultures than his own, and only uses those cultures in a way that makes his seem better and superior in comparison. That's not something Howard ever did, not even once.

I posted what he wrote. His niggers in Zamboula are cannibals because, well, why the fuck not?
Do you need more? Check out Hour of the Dragon, there aren't cannibals but they're simpletons every one of them. Clearly inferior as a race.
Check out A Witch Shall be Born for semitic remarks, tough they're subtler.

I think Howard would've been able to deal with it. If you preferer some safespace were wishful thiniking=>actual quotes, that's your problem, not mine.

>>51551819

>>51551961
Your fault here, is in thinking that what Conan thinks of those people equates to what Howard thinks of people in the real world. It does not, it only indicates that he wrote characters with believable prejudices and views of other cultures. Conan also wasn't racist, as proof that he wasn't, perhaps I should remind you that Conan hated his own Cimmerian culture above all others?

Tolkien wasn't a racist either, and I have read The Lord Of The Rings more than once and don't remember him describing Orcs as anything other than corrupted elves, with no parallel in our world.
