    Well, this guy is a wingnut. He thinks he’s too smart to be considered a white nationalist but reckons black folks should be slaves. Fucken nazis.

    Never heard of him before. Wikipedia

    As in a member of a race of edgelords allergic to sunlight? Very progressive of your mistress to let you post on the internet on your own. Is “Nock” the Undercommon word for mom’s basement?

      I’m about to say, drow are pretty strictly matriarchal from what I remember. He’s at best a dork elf, and only in one of the recent “actually elves suck” worlds as opposed to the directly tolkein-inspired.

      Right, sure he picked the most glorified fantasy race out there, “but evil”. When in reality he’s a Duergar at best:

      Personality Tyrannical, grim, industrious and pessimistic,[11][20] the lives of the gray dwarves were bleak and brutal. Rather than a flaw, however, they viewed their lack of happiness as their greatest strength, the defining feature of duergar pride.

      Sounds about right for the joyless world he imagines his ideal society would represent.

    It’s slowly dawned on me over the last few years that one of the biggest reasons why I find the endless reams of Tolkien/D&D-ripoff fantasy fiction distasteful is because its popularity enables guys like this to smuggle racism into broader discourse. If your entertainment already has you primed to think in a racialized framework, it’s going to take you that much longer to cotton onto what this dingleberry and his buddies are actually pushing.

      Honestly I’m so used to deconstructions of the basic good races vs. evil races dichotomy that when I joined my first long form DnD campaign about a year ago, I ended up having a chat about it with our DM where he had to explain to me that the orcs were intended to be an obviously “we are evil, we are the enemy, you are supposed to fight and kill us” type of enemy. There’s been some more nuance since then, but even since we’ve moved to the next campaign with new characters, mine is once again the “wait, maybe we should listen hear out the chaotic evil demonic minions and find out why they suddenly decided to try and invade our lands” type of character.

      I used to find it amusing how many black metal bands were ‘Tolkien inspired’, it is a lot less funny now. (but hey, at least they are not NSBM)
