It's meant as an allegory for England through WWI and II, after all. Plus the whole eugenics thing gets a little iffy. You could probably call him an ethnicist. ? | ||

If she truly is that ignorant, then I guess she could be excused, but it still hurts my soul watching that kind of blissful ignorance at display. Let's send angry letters to the sponsors imo | ||

To make such a comment as a Starcraft 2 personality just shows that some people completely disregard others' feelings. The reason I'm reacting to it is that I cannot fathom that she actually think Scarlett is a guy, which makes the comment a disgraceful thing to say. One of my main gripes in life are people who try to put down others and this is a very apparent example of that. Maybe she is very ignorant and didn't know, but there cannot come a good thing out of saying what she said in the interview. It's not a big deal, no sponsors should be called or anything. I'm not trying to create drama. But when she gets an outlet like that and spouts bullshit, being called out on it should be expected. Oh and you equating that situation with the other silly things people have mailed sponsors for doesn't really put you in a good light imo. Bullying and especially cyber-bullying is one of the bigger social problems we face nowadays, just imagine how much shit Scarlett has to go through on a regular basis. Those kinds of comments doesn't exactly help that. | ||

Im fairly sure that Tolkien himself refuted the theory that Middle Earth was a sort of representation of World War 2, as journalists kept drawing similarities between the two. These are his exact words on the matter: "As for any inner meaning or 'message', it has in the intention of the author none. It is neither allegorical nor topical. As the story grew it put down roots (into the past) and threw out unexpected branches." | ||
