 Need to quit taking this “respect source material” shit, it’s not effective. Need to just say “why did you make her ugly” 

and when they recoil, say “no, you’re the ones equating blackness with ugliness, the design is ugly, you’re hiding behind race because you’re too incompetent to make beauty”

At least then the twitter threads will be less stale. It’ll never change anything, but hiding behind source material doesn’t address the problem 
 I just make fun of them because negros don't know how to make anything original. 
 I’m just tired of the normies IRL constantly pulling this stuff. They can’t say anything negative about the nigger characters on their own merits, they always cower behind tolkien’s legs and try to get his ghost to fight their battles for them. 
 Yeah, the bullshit 'arguments' that can't even critique what they dislike are quite tiresome. And it's not just in defending fiction of course, but I don't need to tell you that.
