No, this is how the right actually thinks.

Underneath all the memes, underneath all the irony, this is their mindset.

This is akin to saying every feminist is in full support of the ritual castration of males. Those with the least to say oft speak the loudest, and they are by no means the majority.

>They can keep their heaven. When I die, I'd sooner go to Middle Earth.

"They can keep their egalitarian heaven. When I die, I'd sooner go to a feudal Apartheid Monarchy run exclusively on Numenorian-Supremacist Primogentiure that excludes women from all decision-making processes" said the low-IQ underachieving liberal feminist, while trying to sound smart and progressive.

Press F for this fat fucking retard's intellectual integrity.

>>55349017
I don't think Martin is a feminist

Unless you can prove me wrong

>>55348413
You sound like that guy who routinely masturbates to his own posts.

>>55349026
Sure he is, just look at his characters. Cersei in particular is a well-written example of internal misoginy - hence the often mocked "myrish swamp" bit. Brienne is a woman, who wants to be a knight, but does not reject her feminine nature and is unapologetic for it. Sansa uses her empathy to survive instead of a sword or poison.
A lot of people seem to have this sexist notion that a feminist character must be some butch lesbian who kills men for no reason and laughs about it. This kind of a character may appear in the show (Brienne), but not really the books.

>>55349017
>all of Middle Earth was Gondor
Okay.

Nevermind that, however silly it is, Numenoreans were better than the Men of the Third Age in every concievable way. Of course their descendants were in positions of power. Kind of like how people with high IQ are always better, in aggregate, than those with less.

>>55354822
From the wiki (tolkiengateway, the good one):

"Sauron is a Quenya name, said to mean "the Abhorred".

Several accounts of the origin of the name Sauron were suggested in different linguistic manuscripts:

- deriving from Quenya saura ("foul, evil-smelling, putrid", from the root THUS).
-deriving from Quenya saura ("foul, vile"; from root SAWA). The manuscript continues saying that Sauron "could be a genuine Sindarin formation from saur; but is probably from Quenya". However, this origin appears to have been rejected, as it is followed by the comment "No. THAW-, cruel. Saura, cruel" in the manuscript.
- deriving from the Primitive Quendian form Oaurond- (formed from the adjective Oaurā "detestable", from root THAW).
deriving from Thauron, which includes the Sindarin element thaur ("abominable, abhorrent"; also found in Gorthaur).


Saruman is a Mannish translation of Quenya Curumo, his original name in Valinor as a Maia; and Sindarin Curunír which is supposedly the same name (with the ending -ndîr "man"). All names mean "Skilled Man" or "Cunning One" (root curu "skill").

Saruman is derived from Old English: the root word searu means "device, design, contrivance, art" and the whole name means "man of skill".

Looking this up reminded me why Tolkien is so great. I love ASOIAF and all, but the sheer depth of LOTR is something Martin just can't match. He's a good worldbuilder, but Tolkien is truly exceptional in his detail.

Well he's right. He waxes poetic about saying "fantasy is fantastical." It has little content to say outside of some disappointing views on reality.

>>55350689

Ah, a confused /v/ermin. You need to understand that /tg/ is much different than your disgusting home.

>>55350619

I agree. It's pretty cool. You can see the writer's enthusiasm and some neat syntax shit.

>>55355312

Because /v/ermin and /a/nimals have infested the board along with a good dosage of /pol/ution.

People don't want to create content, they just want to meme. So they took what was a super tiny meme from back in the day and latched onto it so they could also pretend that they played roleplaying games.

After what Saruman's done, I'd just set sail for the undying lands.

It's exactly what happened to /mu/

>>55358452
The shittier the show gets the more people hate GoT and ASoIaF in general so the bookfags start defending it by insulting the show haters making the haters even more hateful. Of course you have the people who did go through ASoIaF and still hate it.

Write your own fantasy, if you're so great.

>>55359590
I don't think a unified setting for sci-fi is necessary. I think middle earth's influence on fantasy is felt a bit too strongly, where almost all works are can be compared to it.

Having a unified setting has its merits, but I wouldn't want that to happen to sci-fi.

>>55358452
Bitterness over the fact that he's almost certainly not going to release a new book before he croaks, due to either laziness or apathy?
Frustration that he's letting a subpar show be the final closure?
Annoyance that he let the show devolve as far as it did?
Rereading them and deciding they don't really hold up?
Hatred over cocksucking fans telling you to stop being "entitled" for wanting closure on the series, when they ignore that peole buy into series with the understanding that the author will do his best to finish them, and this hatred boiling over to other areas?

If you want to jerk yourself off over being the lone voice of reason in a world gone mad, go ahead, but don't do it in front of everyone else, and close the fucking door when you do
