  1. Because they are characters - and then they got certain traits, but those don't define them. Todays writing is all about: we need someone with that trait. We need one with 'black', 'asian'. 'woman (strong)', 'stupid males (to underline the strength of the woman') and so on - and that's pretty much it already. They are not characters, they are walking and talking cliches.

  2. Since a child I read the tales of all the world. It's pretty fascinating, where they are very alike and differ. Most difficulty part were often the names, since they reached quite a length in some mythologies.

  3. What's also always annoying: you don't fight the stupid racism we got in our heads about the pretty pointless color of our skin, by celebrating it as a focus like that. "LOOK! LOOK! WE GOT DIFFERENTLY SKIN COLORED PEOPLE!" - Yeah, thanks for showing how racist you are, that you think it's about that...

  4. What I hate the most about how women in war is sold is, as if fighting in a war is a privileg, a glorious carreer, something everyone wants to be, to become that hero, while in reality, to be in a war is just living hell and soldiers are lambs sacrificed on the altaras of insanity for the greed of evil people - or against the greed and all it has caused. That an army can't work, when you can't trust the person close to you and its physical abilities just adds up to this. Yes, of course women can fight, too. In WW2, those german soldier who survived tell you with tearas in their eyes, that when they finally managed to get past that FLAK cannon that had been used to shred the comrades at their side, that the soldiers they had killed there had been women - who simply fought against an army that was there to annihilate all of them. Women can fight and did fight in history - and there was NEVER anything glorious about it, as it wasn't for the endless millions of men who were just thrown away as if their life got no worth at all. When a tourist visited the SU after the 2.WW and saw many, many, many women doing all kind of typical male jobs there, he asked, where the men are who should do these jobs. The guide, also a woman, told them: "They died, freeing you from fascism." Not a story. Reality. To sell war, fighting in wars, killing in wars, dying in wars as heroic, it's the most ugly part and even more when you then put a pretty female in there, looking like a model, who just gloriously slaughters through enemy lines with all rule of cool BS. I got nothing against action movies, but there is a difference between some cheap entertainment and propaganda...

  5. I mean, even when you are 'white' they aren't 'your people' at all. Especilly not elves, dwarves and hobbits, who are simply a completely different race.

  6.  @chloelim593  Don't get the arm pits part, overall it simply means that you will begin to stink much quicker. Hairy arms and legs and so on are fine, but arm pits? Not really something to be proud of.
