Secondly, the heavier decision. Over the past few days, and earlier during the initial teaser season, a number of cards for the "The Lord of the Rings: Tales of Middle-Earth" set include characters who are black, or "non-white-European". The response to this has been abhorrent. The majority of our community is welcoming, and very friendly, and we take pride in being a welcoming space for LGBT+ and persons of color. But, people who visited these threads, especially ones about Aragorn, may have seen comments that outright use racial slurs, comments from neo-nazi accounts, comments that are incredibly demeaning to non-white people. We have banned users aggressively for this, but clearly it has not been enough, as even today, the community interference is rampant. Quite frankly, it's upsetting to see this kind of reaction on this sub.

give them a raise for all of their hard work

>My theory is that with a lot of fictional characters, there's an element of narsacistic power fantasy where the audience envisions themselves as the hero. When you change the hero to look even less like me, it makes it even harder to have that fantasy. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure that half of the people going "omg aragorn is literally me" haven't had a jog for a decade, so of course its not realistic, but go to any sort of convention and you'll still see people dressing up like Goku with a gut.

How do people get this darn neuro?
