    It’s a dagger that was made by elves, Galadriel.

      Please don’t use the E word, thanks. The preferred nomenclature is ‘Firstborn of Iluvatar’. DEFINITELY NOT ‘pointy ears’

        Don’t elves have a visceral hatred for orcs, what with them being originally elves brutally deformed and beaten into submission by Morgoth and all that ? If anything, most elves would like you a bit more for being racist towards orcs.

            They’re basically nostalgic brtish grandpas, of course they are.

              Treebeard bows deeply to the Lord and Lady of Lothlorian. Ents were taught to speak (trees in the old woods) by elves. So superiority exists.

              Counterpoint. The first born are said to be envious of the gift the one gave the second born (men). Death. Before Melkor corrupted the truth and Sauron convinced the Numemoreans that death was evil.

      They absolutely are people. They clearly show intelligence and sapience. They may be people with morals that are opposed to the other species and they may be at war with them, but dehumanization (depersonization?) isn’t the answer.

        They are constructs, imitations of life, animated by the evil will of Morgoth and his foul apprentice Sauron. They’re no more people than ChatGPT is people.

    Remember watching Fellowship as a teenager in 2001 (if you’re a millennial) and thinking that Cate Blanchett was probably in her 50s? Yeah she was 31.

      I can see why on the surface you might think it’s a conservative meme, but it’s not. It’s poking fun at how rigid and yes potentially racist fantasy settings can be.

        You’re just trying too hard to justify the meme, OP’s title is about cancellation, probably just copied wherever OP found the meme, and the meme itself is phrased to push the point that “woke” ruins even fantasy literature, this is a Right wing meme post.

      I’m pretty far left and I chuckled at this. This is why the right makes fun of us for not being able to take a joke.

      There’s no such thing as being cancelled, mature people just call it “consequences for actions”.

      So there is such a thing but you’d prefer people use different word for it?
