@Andrewnsnyder This is absolutely still fanfic, of course, but I think it's much closer IN SPIRIT to what Tolkien would accept. That humble, simple hard-working life around good-natured folks is sort of an antithesis to war, which orcs symbolize. Just my take, though.

@Andrewnsnyder There was this art going around on tumblr of a lone wounded goblin happening upon a hobbit village and the hobbits taking her in, because they're just naturally a good sort. The goblin eventually calms down and settles down with them, the ways of the hobbits rubbing off on her.

So, here's the thing. Tolkien himself struggled over the nature of orcs. Although their orcish existence is inherently wicked, their essence as created beings in Eru's world is good. After all, evil cannot truly create. For this reason, Tolkien seemed to believe that, at least theoretically, an orc could be redeemed, however unlikely. Whether they are corrupted elves, as in the Silmarillion account published by Christopher, or something else, their most basic essence must ultimately come from Eru. Here is what Tolkien says in a a letter to Peter Hastings: "They [orcs] would be Morgoth's greatest Sins, abuses of his highest privilege, and would be creatures begotten of Sin, and naturally bad. (I nearly wrote 'irredeemably bad'; but that would be going too far. Because by accepting or tolerating their making – necessary to their actual existence – even Orcs would become part of the World, which is God's and ultimately good)." With that being said, a philosophically and theologically interesting story could be told of an orc's redemption, but I highly doubt that is what is going on in RoP. If this rumor is true, I predict we'll be getting typical postmodern slop. I want to be wrong, but I would be surprised if I were.

@DavidIlnitsky Ну у меня мамка точно так же себя вела, только делала она это дома, чтобы не дай бог никто не увидел, ну и бухать она начала, когда я уже в подростковом возрасте была, впрочем ей бухло не нужно было, чтобы руки распускать. Зато какая у неё Wakeup-game.

Это Екатеринбург, где путинские традиционные ценности соблюдаются без отклонений... Не знаю, алкоголичка ли эта стерва, но уверен, что трезвые соседи и случайные свидетели видели этот ужас... Хотелось бы знать, хоть у кого-то в этом многоэтажном доме, что-то дёрнулось?

@Ercizilla @Zenrotwo It's in the boobs he met along the way

@dashalosesit @Zenrotwo So when Ichigo activates his bankai wheres the guy? The guy who stands next to him

Kurama Chakra Cloak? That's a Super Saiyan. Domain Expansion? That's a Bankai. One For All Full Cowl? You might think that's a Bankai but actually its a Super Saiyan Gold Experience Requiem? You might think that's a Super Saiyan but actually its a Bankai

@peewnis @bisexual_beebee Do you seriously think AMAB people do not get crap for being even slightly GNC? Should probably tell it to people who beat the hell out of me while ignoring my trans man ex.

@dashalosesit @bisexual_beebee You can't just choose a very specific demographic to "debunk" op's point when it affects a broader demographic where u can in fact notice a double standards between cıs and trans men being gnc. It's literally not crazy to say that being trans makes it harder to be gnc.

@peewnis @bisexual_beebee Everyone gets their gender invalidated for being GNC, that's part of the parcel. And also there's nothing GNC as just presenting fully as your AGAB.

@dashalosesit @bisexual_beebee But who said it isnt, when they too are affected by what op is taking abt, having their gender/sex questioned and even just straight up invalidated for being gnc?

@peewnis @bisexual_beebee Also, minors should probably not speak over other trans people on stuff they don't know anything about. But they will, because that's how teenagers are, been there myself.

@peewnis @bisexual_beebee It's not, I know a lot more transitioned trans men, this is not a discussion about them, however.

@peewnis @bisexual_beebee This isn't about who's the most oppressed, if I saw a c1s femboy taking HRT, I would also tell them to just drop the act and call themselves a trans woman with a full chest.

@dashalosesit @bisexual_beebee Like this shit feels slightly transphobic I'm ngl. Non transitioning trans men are always used as a slap on the face in every argument about trans men having it worse than cıs queer people.

@peewnis @bisexual_beebee I'm not "you guys", I'm Dasha, I have my own opinions and I have very little to say about passing trans men who decide to do something a little funky with their gender presentation. The problem is calling yourself a trans man and doing nothing to materially transition from AGAB

@dashalosesit @bisexual_beebee But why are non-transitioning trans men always the first thought when trans men are mentioned? Why do you guys never think of transitioning, passing trans men who do in fact receive stronger, transphobic reaction for being gnc as opposed to cıs men?

@peewnis @bisexual_beebee *differently

@peewnis @bisexual_beebee Non-transitioning feminine trans men do not navigate the world in any materially meaningful way compared to c1s women. And I do not mean to invalidate their internal struggle, that is obviously important. But they still occupy a different reality.

@SpacedOutTracey The Clockwork Orange / Halloween 3 reference is about the only thing that makes this in any way adult-oriented and only because tweens don't watch old movies that much. Tweens do consume an ungodly amount of analog horror and creepypasta content, so those bits are for THEM.

To this website every medias is either bluey or hardcore porn and there’s absolutely zero inbetween in this discussion god forbid something be marketed to a *gulp* 13 year old….

@RaphDeee Zero bones breaking, zero fingers turning into hooves, zero tearing of clothes, zero teeth growing out, zero focus on specific details or the emotions of the transformation subject, come on

@RaphDeee This absolutely doesn't look like furry transformation art at all, this mainly steals from mecha and tokusatsu.

I can easily tell with a glance that the data stolen to make this slop was trained on furry transformation fetish porn

That's exactly why I believe pro-Russian Americans are not your friends, they're as orientalist as their MAGA-uncles next door. If you're pro-Ukraine, you're a CIA shill, if you're zetnik, you have a "mysterious soul that no other human being can possibly comprehend."

@thmrv @AcidManticore Почему тогда транс женщины не доминируют все категории, а приходят пятыми-десятыми?

@dashalosesit @AcidManticore Какой бы одаренной женщина не была в спорте, ей не вывезти против мужской физиологии и анатомии. Примеров когда любители-мужчины играючи расправлялись с профессионалками полно, от футбола до единоборств

Тем временем спортсменки, всю жизнь живущие и считающие себя женщинами, будут ВНЕЗАПНО дисквалифицированы из-за того, что у них беспалевно затесалась Y-хромосома (да, такое бывает, и не обязательно отражается на гормональном развитии и половых органах). +

@thmrv @AcidManticore У 90% элитных спортсменов есть генетические преимущества. Вы ещё запретите высоких в баскетбол брать, там тоже соревнуются люди в топ 1% по росту.

@AcidManticore Таким спортсменам нужно соревноваться в своей лиге. Практически всегда это спортсмены с явным преимуществом что возносит их в элиту женского спорта и ставит вопрос о справедливости такого состязания.

American exceptionalism, but make it woke.
