Have you ever looked at the requirements to submit an original story to Amazon? It is the most ludicrous "check all these diversity checkboxes" nonsense you can find. And yes, when you FORCE diversity due to a progressive radical agenda over story, historical accuracy, or the writers vision.... then I use the word nonsense purposfully.

If you are so politically correct, or pollitically insane, tell us how you were offended Train to Busan didn't have any Arabs in wheelchairs? Explain how Squid Games didn't have any hispanic actors and you were not represented? Or tell us all how Pan's Labrynth didn't portray one character as a gay black woman and was therefore racist? This laughable argument that every demographic must be represented is a joke. I was friends with a gay Native American in Boulder Colorado who was the direct decendant to a famous Oklahoman chief. Now that is an under represented minority! But he was able to watch Terminator 2 or Tremors without being represented. Its almost like people care about story over left-wing representation checkboxes!

And more importantly, explain the narcissism where you assume your liberal writers know better than Tolkien the gender, sexual preferances, and identity politics of Elves. Sheesh.

we wouldnt want anyone getting offended now would we?
Amazon is taking the safe route
If Prime Video got "cancelled" for some reason like 10% of amazon's profits would go down
Jeff Bezos would hate that so yeah

Hi OM alt.
"we wouldnt want anyone getting offended now would we?". You are always going to have someone offended, and that is perfectly fine because we are all different. You can't please everyone, but you want to please the large majority if you are a businness. People who are offended will get over it. And that is how things have worked since the very begining of humanity. It is natural. Look at Amazon stock how bad is doing now. Just like Netflix. You go wok you go broke.

Anne Rice once said that liberals took over the publishing industry.

If the Left loves Tolkien's Elves so much then they should take a page from them; as in the part where they got weary of things and left the lands of Middle Earth and sailed West after the matter of Sauron was down for good. . .heck, they were leaving in droves before Bilbo handed over the Ring to Frodo.

Wasn't the entire point of the story the multi-racial coalition and collaboration it took to defeat ultimate evil? Or did you read a version of the story that skipped that part and cut the story down to a five minute read?

Humans - Screwed up and took Sauron's offer of having Rings.(Ring Wraiths/Nazgul)
Dwarfs - Ditto but Sauron couldn't directly control them so instead brought ruination upon those who had them and got those Rings back.
Elves - Taught Sauron how to forge Rings. Sauron took what Elves meant for good and used it for evil.
Hobbits - A race that Sauron didn't even know about. Frodo ended up being the one to carry the One Ring in the attempt to destroy it. . .and what happened? He nearly ruined everything at the critical moment when he claimed the One Ring for himself. It was another Hobbit who took the name Gollum . . .and in his own greed plunged into Mount Doom destroying himself and the One Ring.

The original plan was for the Fellowship to sneak into Mordor and chuck the One Ring into Mt. Doom. . .but as we all know that never happened. Borormir died and almost damned himself because of his grab for the One Ring.

With everything that happened throughout the trilogy, there was no time worry about diversity and multiculturalism.

Oh, and at the end of it all the Elves went back across the Sea to the West and the Dwarfs eventually faded into obscurity and myth. It's implied that Hobbits eventually grew, or evolved, and became more Man like. Those who are still full Hobbits are unnoticeable by the Race of Man. It was the Race of Man who got full control of Middle Earth.

TL;DR, frankly. The entire book series is one big argument for pluralism and if you didn't pick that up then what needs to happen here is that you need to reread that saga, not that I need to read yours.

Lists the mutiltiple races of characters in the book complete with synopsis of their role, misses the entire point of the story.

Reminds me of people arguing that gin drinking Winston Smith was a Russian (London being a mispelling of Moscow, natch) because 1984 was a cautionary tale about the potential shortcomings of life in the Societ Union.

"According to Haldane's rule the first generations hybrids will have sterile males but fertile females, fertile males appear after generations of backcrossing"

I'm not familiar with that, so I'd have to read up on it

"They where similar in being humanoid but furthermore there are several differences"

I agree that there were differences. But they were much closer to modern humans than our other ancestors.

"They where also different in behaviour. Unlike other anthropoid species, who chase their prey for miles to later deliver the killing blow, Neanderthals engaged in physical combat with their prey. They where also found to be extremely aggresive, making them possibly the most aggresive species of the Homo genus."

If that's true, then that's interesting. Like I said, I'll have to do more research.

Not exaclty.Neanderthals are closer to Denisovans than to Humans. Neanderthals are not an ancestor but a cousin lineage.

Not all species in Homo are ancestors. Many are split offs in fact. Also bring closely related does not change the fact that they where extrenely different.

Indeed. They are so obsessed with "race" that many of them think that "race" and "species" are the same thing.

Several sci fi left wing fans claim that several fictional alien species are "races" despite the fact that they are different SPECIES.

And Ive seen that there several paleonthropology fanatic liberals who believe that Neanderthals and other species of the Homo genus are like "races" despite the fact that they are different SPECIES. Going as far as claiming that Neanderthals where "like us" despite the fact that, being different species, where quite different from humans in behaviour and anatomy.

That's sci-fi. I'm talking about real life

"And Ive seen that there several paleonthropology fanatic liberals who believe that Neanderthals and other species of the Homo genus are like "races" despite the fact that they are different SPECIES"

Homo Neanderthalensis was capable of interbreeding with Homo Sapiens. If they produced fertile offspring, that means they weren't a completely different species.

"Going as far as claiming that Neanderthals where "like us" despite the fact that, being different species, where quite different from humans in behaviour and anatomy"

Neanderthals were pretty similar to humans

Bruh Nea derthals where very different. Its true they where similar but being different species meant they where very different.

And for the record evidence found Neanderthals where anti social and more aggresive than Humans, further showing they are different.

You leftists are ruining Paleontology by turning everyone into pacifists and comparing race to species.

"That's sci-fi. I'm talking about real life"

-Am talking about toxic fandoms, which exist in real life.

"Homo Neanderthalensis was capable of interbreeding with Homo Sapiens. If they produced fertile offspring, that means they weren't a completely different species."

-Lions are able to intebreed with tigers, leopards and jaguars and are still different species. And that is not how hybridization works. According to Haldane's rule the first generations hybrids will have sterile males but fertile females, fertile males appear after generations of backcrossing.

"Neanderthals were pretty similar to humans"

-Not exactly. They where similar in being humanoid but furthermore there are several differences:
1.Unlike humans, Neanderthals where not neotenus, which is why they can grow a great ape bone eyebrow. Humans are the only neotenic great apes.
2.They have a robust, barrel shaped and chubby body.
3.They have large round noses.
4.They had short limb proportions.
5.They where very masculine, to the point females got masculated.

They where also different in behaviour. Unlike other anthropoid species, who chase their prey for miles to later deliver the killing blow, Neanderthals engaged in physical combat with their prey. They where also found to be extremely aggresive, making them possibly the most aggresive species of the Homo genus.

Several anthropoid species also exibited unique behaviours:
-Homo naledi where arboreal and loved trees.
-Homo anteccesor where cannibals.
-Homo floresiensis where small weaklings who got eaten by komodo dragons.
-Homo erectus where agile hunters, similar to the Yautja.

Yeah, that's why those the few that weren't massacred got raped to extinction by modern humans *rolls eyes*

Bruh Neanderthals where extremely aggresive, violent, anti social, territorial, xenophobic, neophobic, dogmatic. This factors mean they excelled at war and did not get raped. And no, humans never massacred or raped Neanderthals.

Neanderthals went extinct by climate change, diseases and incest. Learn to not take your opinions as facts.
0 ups, 2y
My god first you worship them as gods and now you underestimate them.

Neanderthals where not massacred or raped by Humans. They persisted for a long time after Humans arrived at Europe. And they where excellent at war and combat due to their muscle mass and high aggresion. And actually they became extinct due to Climate Change and diseases.

And dont say "modern Humans", say HUMANS. Human is the name of OUR species.

The Chad early 20th century Writer vs the Virgin 21st modern diversity writer lol.
I’d take Stephen King over any writer born after the year 2000, personally. His Dark Tower novels are amazing!
