Good. I'm glad Amazon is protecting us from misinformation, bigotry, and wrong opinions. More companies need to start being the arbiters of truth and silencing chud speak.

It's fundamentally from academic leftists who still love class analysis and/or critical theory. The ignorant leftoids blame corporations while forgetting the primary cause of all their infighting. There is no pleasing them. They will forever mald.
That way of thinking only works in desperately poor countries like 1950s China. That and a charismatic leader like Mao who essentially scapegoats the productive workers and merchants is all you need to get mass support. It also worked with Hitler, but the leftists(

Am I the only one who noticed that the dwarves as per usual all wear 30 lbs of facial prosthetics to make them more ugly, but the black kween dwarf was considered ugly enough with just her natural face?

Where do you come off calling the black dwarf queen ugly? Just because she doesn't have thirty pounds of fake shit glued to her face doesn't make her ugly. Maybe you're the ugly one, with your blatant racism and ignorance.

bbbb, can you explain to me why these isolated hobbit/dwarf societies have dark black people living next door to ginger Irishmen?
Can you help me figure out why in thousands of years the black people only seem to breed with each other? Asking for a friend
Jump in the discussion.
No email address required.
Your "friend's" assumptions are offensive and racist. Isolated societies don't exist in the real world, so there's no basis for this comparison. Furthermore, interbreeding between different groups of people is natural and happens all the time. Finally, ascribing physical characteristics to entire groups of people is ignorant and lazy.

Amazon should stop fricking around and just require everyone to leave a 5-star review on their swordshit or else no more packages of cheap chinese crap.

Amazon is absolutely fricked. The store is practically unusable because it's nothing but fake chinese brands. Prime Video is an overly expensive joke. They might as well just be a web host, that's the only thing keeping them afloat.

Got one brave defender of Middle Earth (LMAO) in there actually making decent points, obviously falls on deaf ears. Soy Amazon enthusiast says the required "it's a fantasy world with monsters, who cares about us race swapping?" Chad Tolkien nerd responds:

The stupid race shit isnβt even the problem. Like itβs one problem, but itβs a small one and doesnβt hurt much. The show itself is just borderline unwatchable boring bullshit.
Jump in the discussion.
No email address required.
The race stuff is just funny to meme about. I think it's just put in as insurance TBH. Every single time one of these reboots sucks butt (Ghostbusters, Star Wars, Terminator, ETC) the production company and their media mouth pieces hide behind the veneer of racial diversity.
They know they can't/won't effectively adapt Tolkien, so it's easier to shutdown all criticism under the pretense that it's racist.

Go home boomer. Pirating is far easier than streaming nowadays. They fractured streaming services into a million different sites, each with its own subscription. Meanwhile, pirating caught up, and now you can stream movies for free from your web browser with no limits. If I was at someone's house and they started putting netflix on, I would just laugh.

I've tried browsing Prime Video and the only "free with Prime" shit is like, documentaries or direct-to-tv movies. You still need to pay for the good stuff.
Ditto the music -- despite having Prime it's an extra charge to get full music streaming capabilities instead of just two or three token tracks by a given artist.
