and

what’s up all new yorkshire’s droids and

wookies it’s anna all centers that star

wars girl and today

i am ironically going to be talking

about lord of the rings because there

has been

a complete [ __ ] show that went down on

twitter between

a very popular lord of the rings news

site that a lot of

youtubers and content creators have been

using as their sources for the new

amazon lord of the rings television show

because

apparently the onering.net has gotten

some kind of

special access to the pre-production and

you know the filming of the show

and because they have been the one that

have been releasing all of the

the new information about the lord of

the rings amazon television show

now ironically i haven’t been making

very much content on my channel because

i got inspired i’m a huge lord of the

rings band i was a little kid when lord

of the rings was coming out i remember

just how packed the theater was when

return of the king came out and i mean

me and my parents we had to sit in

like the almost basically the very front

row and i haven’t made making a lot of

content because

i’ve been getting excited and hyped up

for lord of the rings because

i actually haven’t been following this

news because i wanted to be surprised

so i’ve actually been working on lord of

the rings paintings which you guys if

you want to see

any of those progress pictures or time

lapse videos

they’re up on my art instagram and so

i just got the inspiration to paint

arwen and you know it’s still a work in

progress because it’s an oil painting

and oils take incredibly long time to

dry and

so while i usually work on at least five

paintings at a time because again

working in oils is a very time consuming

as well

slow process and so i started painting

galadriel as well and again this is

still a work in progress

so i’m a pretty big lord of the rings

fan i’ve been hyped up about it

because i know it’s coming but i wanted

to be surprised about this because

one of the rings is one of those

franchises that i actually still had

hope for

until all of this went down so what’s

going to happen in this video is i’m

going to go through and i’m going to

show you all of the tweets from the

onering.net

twitter account that started all of this

and then the way that they responded to

people that asked them pretty reasonable

simple questions and respectful ways

how they responded and basically turned

into the thing that

we’ve seen happen with all chill medias

is oh my gosh we make a ridiculous

statement and people question us with

like reasonable questions and arguments

and you know points with act

with you know references to source

material what are they hobos and racists

so i’m going to show you guys that’s

going to be kind of a long video because

i’m going to go through i’m going to

show you all of the tweets

and then i’m going to get into what

happened with

nerd roddick’s and just some guy and how

they basically uh sent the one ring.net

running for the hills

with you know their knowledge and facts

and reason

so strap in your seat belts because i am

going to dive

right into this right now so here’s the

tweet from therungwing.net that started

all of this

listen we’ve been dealing with

homophobic comments for decades and it’s

still

wrong notice how they say we’ve been

dealing with homophobic comments for

decades and it’s still wrong

take a note because that’s going to be

important later whatever toxic arguments

are being said

now about lord of the rings fandom and

adaptations is still the same trash

that said ian mckellen was the worst

affront to tolkien’s legacy ever hashtag

pride

they continue cognate respectful debate

on tolkien is always

welcome but homophobic racist

misogynistic trash

is always cause for banning it’s not

what tolkien fandom is

once or welcomes we used to be able to

ban

in the era of message boards and irc

but in the area of social media dot dot

dot the platforms

can’t keep toxicity out of their

community we can mute and block but

that’s only

for this accounts feed twitter is not a

community

simply because it lacks anti-troll tools

nasty people still show up in replies

because their toxic friend subtweeted us

if you still think ian mckellen is the

worst and that catholic tolkien

would have never approved i beg you to

read more of tolkien’s books and letters

he was woke stood against

hate embraced all cultures in life and

fiction

it’s why his books are translated in

every language if you think ian mckellen

gets a pass

but whatever amazon is doing is a

disgrace to

tolkien please think more about your

personal bias before tweeting

our block button is very active and if

you retweet enable toxic voices

in the name of free speech you do not

love tolkien

gave us some of the greatest

performances beyond all expectations

now when i saw this i thought it was

interesting because they

said specifically we’ve been dealing

with homophobic comments for decades and

it’s still wrong

now when you are on the internet you are

expecting

millions uh because there’s millions of

people on twitter right

you’re expecting all of these strangers

to take your word for it

now i know from personal experience you

can’t expect

random strangers especially on the

internet to take your word for anything

you have to provide receipts for

everything

so i saw this and thought well since

you’ve been getting this for decades

you probably have some evidence of this

right so i said

please provide receipts to back up these

accusations because if there

are people that are going around making

toxic arguments

that are being homophobic that are just

basically the

scum of the freaking universe show that

expose these [ __ ] [ __ ] because in

my experience in the lord of the ring

fandom i have never once experienced

that

i remember watching lord of the rings in

the theaters when i was a

child i was a very young child when lord

of the rings came out

and there was none of that nobody was

worried about ian mcallen being gay

he was the best actor he is freaking

gandalf the great then later ganned off

the white

nobody cared at least from my experience

nobody was concerned what the actor’s

love life was like

outside of lord of the rings it was of

no interest to every anyone that i knew

at least but i mean i cared more about

the characters and the the storytelling

in the world building

i don’t know what the heck other weirdos

were thinking of but if this is going on

then expose it especially if it’s been

going on to the run

ring.net since they said

we’ve been dealing with homophobic

comets for decades i didn’t think this

was going to be a controversial tweet

uh little was i wrong so i had to go and

explain myself further and i said for

those that don’t understand the one ring

account say that

they’ve been dealing with homophobic

comments for decades

i asked if they could please provide

receipts of that if it’s been going on

for decades

i’d expect them to have some and i even

had to highlight this here for them

and of course the weirdos uh

lost their minds so here is a tweet

thread that lady gravemaster

was able to catch in a screenshot

because naturally what what happens when

a weirdo loses their mind on the

internet and

uh people call them out and say hey you

sound pretty [ __ ] insane

they go and they block everyone or they

privatize uh their tweets which is of

course what happens with all these

weirdos

it’s one of those things where if you’re

gonna cause [ __ ] on the internet

at least have the [ __ ] balls to stand

your ground

and stand up for yourself and what you

apparently believe in since you were

able to go on this long tweet thread

but of course not no the if you go

and private your account you’re a

[ __ ] [ __ ] and a coward and i have

absolutely no respect for you but so

let’s read this a great thread

question mark the one ring.net she

literally calls tolkien racist as [ __ ]

he fought in world war one talk about

not knowing history and

woke was weaponized from the get-go by

people who started it

uh this has blown up in your face and

you’re proving you don’t know

or respect tolkien now this is the tweet

thread

so this is for anaria blue check mark if

you’re not surprised by that

so this well-intentioned but nightmarish

tweet and i’m going off in private to

talk about it because

this well-meaning and wildly deceptive

liberalism is why people of color and

queer folks are so fundamentally unsafe

in the tolkien fandom

oh my god

we shouldn’t sanitize stories or their

authors

we shouldn’t sanctify that which was

harmful

tolkien was a rich upper middle class

cystis or sit settist i don’t even know

how to say this [ __ ] word

white catholic man in the 20th century

england

he was racist as [ __ ] was probably

homophobic

he deliberately based orcs on mongols

he ca uh his caste system and

descriptions of the elves are explicitly

colorist his uh estherlins

easterlines are literal racist

stereotypes his women

though written adoringly were far and

few between

my god we do not have to erase

uh erase to engage read that again

we do not have to erase to engage

oh my goodness uh this is what we’ve

lost

the plot on in all these years of rapid

fire online discourse

in the digital binary characters and

works

and people are good or bad are allowed

to exist or dem

or ah or our damn jesus acting like

disney

talking star wars etc we’re never racist

doesn’t help us entertainment is not our

path to liberation

pretending the racism away is not

revolutionary the author was problematic

the woke is problematic avoid it if you

wish

feel free to hate it engage with it if

you wish

but do it honestly love it but

critically

with open eyes

what do white run accounts gain

from doing [ __ ] like this these blatant

lies validate the tantrums of unhinged

right ringers and are a slap in the face

to the marginalized fans who

already [ __ ] on the frankly white

supremacist fandom

then the one wing.net decided to reply

great thread that stems from a core

misunderstanding on the world

the word woke its history and its

current weaponized

usage then she replies yeah and

also i think it’s really really

important

that we don’t erase harm from works and

people we

love the real truth is that it doesn’t

matter

whether tolkien would have tweeted a

pride flag emoji in support

of mckellen you know the fact that so

many

brown and black people

adore lord of the rings shows that

acknowledging

the bad doesn’t mean we can’t still love

it

times change so do stories in

threat now then we get over to the nerd

erotic

section of this whole [ __ ] show

because if you guys don’t know gary from

neuroderotic is

a pretty huge lord of the rings fan and

he has been covering

all of this lord of the rings news with

the new amazon tv show very closely and

he’s made a few videos on it that get a

lot of

traction uh cause gary is kind of

popular and people tend to trust him and

like what he has to say about the things

that he talks about because he is

a very knowledgeable guy very

entertaining has

great content has a great channel and uh

was actually the one

that lorthering.net was referring to

over in their very long

uh tweet thread that talked about you

know toxic friend sub tweeted us

so uh this is what gary from nerdronic

had to say about this tweet thread he

said

that’s strange i was obsessively

following every article post

thread and didn’t see any of this maybe

there was a couple

maybe a few nothing worth taking

seriously

this is how it begins throw fans under

the bus for access

disappointed but not surprised in the

least and of course

they responded ignorance does not

preclude fact ian mckellen wrote on the

subject

gary followed up i’m aware of ian

mckellen’s story

you stated this with listen

we’ve been dealing with homophobic

comments for decades

ian mckellen is an inspiration and

universally loved

instead of pointing that out you choose

the route of the straw man

to get some attention they respond straw

man

ian mckellen in his own words again with

the same link that everyone has been

showing

you seem to have a lot of homophobes and

racists in your replies

with your misuse of strawman

now naturally this tweet got a lot of

attention because they basically called

everyone that follows gary or

everyone that was pointing out the same

thing that me and gary pointed out

because me and gary both pointed out the

fact that they

were referring to themselves uh in their

tweet you know

we’ve been dealing with homophobic

comments for decades and it’s still

wrong they referred to themselves and

then threw an ian mckellen at the end

me gary and a lot of other people

pointed that out and they decide to

say oh that’s straw man it’s like it’s

not a straw man

when we are literally going off of the

words that you

said so a lot of people got upset about

this because a lot of lord of the rings

fans are like what the [ __ ]

you’re calling us homophobes and racist

what the [ __ ] then uh there’s another

thread from gary

it says respect the lore uh decoded

respect the lore

see you on youtube and it’s a link to

this tweet this tweet is no longer

available but

gary included the screenshot so this is

from uh just some guy

i have this pulled up so that way i was

able to zoom in and it says ignorance

does not preclude

fact in mckellen wrote on the subject

and just some guy if you guys do not

know

uh he is a man of color and uh he is

actually pretty good friends with gary’s

been on friday night tights a few times

and he does he has a channel where he

talks about comics and stuff

so go check him out if you haven’t

already and so he jumps in and says are

you talking about this

some chat rooms 20 years ago come on no

one thinks amazon’s show will suck

because the actors might be gay

people think it’ll suck because amazon

isn’t going to respect the lore

and lord of the rings you know the

onering.net responds with

respect the lore is becoming coded

language for racist perspectives

on a text that never describes color

holy [ __ ] [ __ ] and like clockwork

the mystery to why this tweet was

deleted aside from it’s completely

tone-deaf statements

just some guy knocks it out of the

[ __ ] park and completely

owns their moronic asses he responds

with

yeah i’m black and i don’t use coded

language i say

exactly what i mean tolkien described

what eldar and aidan

looked like multiple times in his book i

suggest you put down the phone and read

the book since apparently you never

[ __ ] have mike [ __ ] drop

just some guy yes own them

these people that are supposedly the

biggest lord of the ring fans out there

that run an entire website about lord of

the [ __ ] rings

apparently don’t pay [ __ ] attention

to the content

they are supposedly obsessed with and

love and are the main authority on

honestly if you are not subscribed or

following joe some guy

go freaking give a guy a follow just for

this [ __ ] statement

he is [ __ ] awesome but guys guess

what

you would think after this that uh

it would have been dear but guess what

it didn’t it continues

and then with the tweet where gary

rightfully calls them out and had to

include a screenshot since they went

back and deleted the tweet

they responded with feed the angry nerd

content machine

enjoy the revenues holy [ __ ]

[ __ ] this [ __ ] show just got 10 times

worse gary

you know nerd roddick called it over a

year ago you either die a hero or you

live long enough to see yourself become

the villain

giving into shill tactics by calling

fans who supported your website for

years

homophobes and racist is beyond pathetic

you exposed your true

colors the one ring.net this

is a screenshot of a podcast that gary

did

over a year ago now this is up on

his other channel nerd roddick live so

it’s not as many views as he actually

got when it was live because he

re-uploads his live streams

but he called it from the beginning you

know is the is lord of the rings next

is it the next one to go woke are they

going to try to destroy lord of the

rings

unfortunately the answer was yes with

everything i have shown you guys with

the way that the onering.net

is reacting to fans now

for years there’s been nothing for lord

of the rings

and since the hobbit movies come out

there has not really been any news with

lord of the rings because

there hasn’t been any content being made

for it outside of specialized figures

and merchandise

so what’s been keeping the one ring.net

alive the fans

the fans that go and read their articles

the fan that go the fans that go and

support their website

and what did they do just like the rest

of the show media

they called us homophobes and racists

simply because they were stupid

and didn’t know how to properly word a

tweet if it wasn’t what that they meant

that they were referring to themselves

here

which is clearly what they did mean they

were referring to themselves hence the

fact that they said

we’ve been dealing with this because

they go on

in this tweet thread in their own

[ __ ] words and talk about how twitter

is not a community and

how they have to deal with blocking

people

and blocking toxic you know toxic

friend subtweeted us gary

rightfully called them out on their

straw man by trying to turn this around

and make it about ian mckellen

when it was clearly them venting about

how they have to block toxic people it’s

like okay so a person is toxic

because they asked you for receipts

because they asked you to prove these

claims that you’re making uh and then

you try to

hide behind ian mckellen and eat the

stuff that ian mckellen actually went

through

what a [ __ ] piece of [ __ ] yeah

gary was right to call them out gary and

just some guy

everyone else that’s been calling them

out on it rightfully [ __ ]

so they just strawmanned to get

attention

and then they go and fall back behind

ian mckellen

what pieces of [ __ ] shits

imagine being so [ __ ] pathetic that

you take sir ian mckellen’s

real life experience and try to

capitalize on that because

it’s pride month and trying to take his

actual story

to go manipulate so that way you get

woke points

and to tell your sob story because oh my

god

homophobic misogynistic racist people

comment on our website and you know

they’re not actually saying homophobic

stuff

they’re just actually presenting facts

and actual arguments

and being completely reasonable but

we’re going to use we’re going to fall

back and hide behind

the shield that we have of ian mckellen

which i mean gary rightfully [ __ ]

called them out so did you some guy i

think so did i i

i asked them for receipts i said hey if

like you said

it’s been happening to you for decades

like i just showed you guys with those

tweet with the thread they said

they said it’s been happening to them

then they go they bring up ian mckellen

at the end but then they go and

go and complain about how we can’t you

know basically block

everyone from our twitter it’s not a

community so it really was about them it

wasn’t about ian mckellen but then they

try to use ian mcellen as a straw

man argument to hide behind and call

anyone that questions them homophobic

which gary called them out on it i

called them out on it just some guy

called him out on it a lot of people

just call

called them out on it and what do they

do ah you’re all

it’s like homophobic [ __ ] christ this

is what happens when you sell out

to access hollywood is that

you sell your soul to them so that way

you can get

early access to things so that way

people will go and read your website but

then you become the actual thing

that you you know you swore against it

was a fan

one website that you know the the fans

other fans that read these fans articles

kept alive for years

while there was no content coming out

for lord of the rings yes there were

special releases of the movies and the

hobbit

yes there was toys and merchandise that

would come out but

when you don’t have new content you

can’t you slowly run out of things to

write about which

if you actually are creative you could

write about lord of the rings for

freaking ever i mean

there’s a college course that you can

take in tolkien so

if you’re actually creative you could

spend the rest of your life writing

about lord of the rings and

you know you can do art of lord of the

rings you there’s

for a creative person you don’t have to

sell your soul

to be able to create content which is

apparently exactly what happened and i

mean just some guy called it out it’s

like hey you guys

obviously didn’t even [ __ ] read the

book if you didn’t if you weren’t aware

that there was descriptions of these

actual characters and they had to go and

delete the tweet

it’s ironic isn’t it and ironic that the

people that

call everyone names are actually the bad

guys in and of itself it blows my mind

but it never ceases to fail it happens

every single time

so i know that this was a long video i

do hope you enjoyed it i’ve spent um

you know a lot of time going and

collecting everything and getting all of

this uh prepared for you guys

if you guys haven’t go follow nerd

erotic on twitter go follow just some

guy on twitter go subscribe to their

youtube channels they create great

content they’re huge lord of the rings

the rings news like i showed you guys
