Chapter 980: Social News
It was a busy scene at King's University London in the early morning, with students hurrying from their apartments to their classrooms, students of different colors mingling.
Ronan holds a latte in one hand and a sandwich and a newspaper he just bought from a convenience store in the other, ready to read it in the boring class.
The mobile phone signal on campus is not good, and it takes a long time to load the pictures on Instagram, so reading the newspaper is the best way to pass the time.
After entering the lecture hall, Ronan sat down in a position at the back of the center, and then spread out the newspaper on the table, reading page by page.
The Times is the most authoritative newspaper in the UK, and the front page of this issue is the history of Downing Street, but Ronan is not interested in politics at all, he looks at the royal gossip and then looks for Wimbledon tennis results and detailed reports.
The professor at the bottom chattered boringly, the students at the top of the ladder yawned incessantly, and only a few were listening attentively.
Suddenly, Ronan's hands shook twice, because he saw a familiar name on the social board, and the book was exactly what he was going to read after reading the newspaper.
The title "The Lord of the Rings Alleged Racism" looks extremely bluffing, and if it does, it will definitely cast a shadow on both the movie and the movie, and may attract boycotts from people from all walks of life!
Ronan had only seen the second part now, and he thought about it carefully, as if he didn't find anything related to racism in it, could it be that the minorities didn't have them in Middle-earth?
But the author himself is yellow-skinned, and he didn't say that there were people like them missing in it.
Could it be that the content that follows is written about this?
He decided not to comment on it yet, but to see what the article actually wrote, and the Times should still be trustworthy and not jump to conclusions.
[Recently, the well-known writer Zhang Chu's new series of "The Lord of the Rings" is considered to be racist and discriminatory, which advocates a lot of blood determinism.
Andy Duncan, a science fiction writer and academic professor, spoke to a show about his thoughts on racism in The Lord of the Rings. He believes that Zhang Chu has repeatedly emphasized that some races are stronger than others, and some people are worse than others, and if this view is maintained for a long time, it will have terrible consequences for himself and society!
In The Lord of the Rings, orcs are portrayed as ugly, grotesque humanoid creatures who are hungry to kill and are the minions of the evil demon lord Sauron.
Duncan added: "Actually, we can easily imagine that these orcs who act on the orders of the Demon King are only for the purpose of self-preservation, they are modern refugees, and they should not be demonized by the author." ”
In addition to Duncan, Dr. Stephen Shapiro, another person engaged in cultural studies, also bluntly said that the good people in Zhang Chu's pen are all white, and the bad people are black, slanted-eyed, unattractive, slurred, and mentally immature.
Except for the main supporting character, Sam, who is a gardener, the rest of the positive characters are almost all from famous backgrounds. Needless to say, the Baggins family is a god family, Legolas is the son of an elven lord, Jin Li is a close relative of the dwarven king, Aragorn needless to say, is directly the royal blood of Noumenor, and finally became the king of Gondor directly, and even the dead Boromo is the son of the regent.
Half-orcs are black-skinned, and evil humans are in the east and south, which is simply the best proof of racism......]
Ronan was dumbfounded, he didn't expect the views of these so-called doctors and professors to be so unique, so unique that ordinary people couldn't keep up with this rhythm at all.
While the world is all about political correctness, this explanation is a bit too far-fetched.
If you classify orcs as black, you have to ask the black masses if they agree! Maybe the black friends have to say that the two professors are the real racist, and actually compare the orcs to them!
If it is said that the orcs in "The Lord of the Rings" have encountered racism, then there should be no flying monkeys in "The Wizard of Oz"; "Beauty and the Beast" does not need beasts, let alone that beautiful women are imprisoned, and human rights and feminist organizations will spray this work to death, and "The Lion King" cannot have coyote villains.
All fantasy stories with villains are put in danger because of this stupid idea.
"It's a fictional world, so we have to compare that world with our real world. Then there should be a feminist organization that says that there are no female characters in this Fellowship of the Ring, and that they are discriminating against women, right?"
All kinds of politically correct remarks are flooding the media and in life, but in fact, many people don't buy such remarks and actions, but they just don't show them.
The original intention of these activities is good, but there are always people who take chicken feathers as arrows and use these things for equality to pave the way for themselves.
Everyone just dared to be angry but didn't dare to speak, and no one wanted to be labeled with such a big hat.
Ronan was very disappointed that the dignified "Times" actually published such a news, did this newspaper really not even want to maintain its own authority for the sake of a gimmick?
Readers who haven't read "The Lord of the Rings" are just that, as long as they have read this article, almost none of them agree with the views in the news!
It's completely far-fetched, and if you don't consider it, is it still a two-party election in fantasy?
British netizens on Twitter are almost all on Zhang Chu's side this time, vigorously scolding the Times that is not guaranteed for the evening.
"There is no evidence that this book is racist or descent-based with the author!"
"If you read a book with that mindset, then any book will be flawed. Maybe the next time someone criticizes Wuthering Heights or Jane Eyre for not having black characters. ”
"Very disappointed with this newspaper!"
"I want to say that writer is crazy? Orcs aren't even human, why do you say they're black!"
"It's just a work that resembles medieval Europe, and whether you believe it or not, Europe was like that!"
"I haven't read this book, but after reading the news, I think this statement is completely slanderous and slanderous!"
Although the complete works of "The Lord of the Rings" have been released in the United Kingdom and have sold very well, in fact, not many people have watched them, and the time is too short, especially compared with the daily circulation of "The Times".
Now many people only know that there is such a work after seeing the news in the newspaper, and the work that makes those two professors and doctors go crazy!
*****************
Today is really not deliberately late, the author has been pretending to be tender for 30 years, and he is about to deceive himself, but he has not been able to deceive the relatives around him, and everyone in the family is very concerned about me, an older single young man.
As a result, my cousin directly helped arrange a blind date, and it was really difficult to release other people's pigeons.
