- Mr. Tomlinson's feud started after members of the now-defunct Reddit site r/opieandanthony got his Twitter account suspended, causing him to threaten some bored trolls who never heard of him with a libel lawsuit. The trolls responded predictably.
- Mr. Tomlinson has been instructed many times by friends, family, police, and attorneys to stop engaging with his trolls, and that continuing to provoke them will cause him to be trolled even more. Mr. Tomlinson wilfully ignores this advice
- He would eventually file a defamation suit against 60 anonymous people which was dismissed with Mr. Tomlinson being ordered to pay $34,762.25 for opposing parties' attorney fees.
- He ended up paying $83,736.99 due to his unsuccessful attempts to dodge the court-ordered judgement, for which he faced jail time and contempt charges.
- He also filed 2 frivolous restraining orders against people who had engaged in First Amendment-protected behavior (one for texting him and another for attending his contempt of court hearing), both of which were dismissed.
- Early on in the lawsuit, Mr. Tomlinson vandalized his own motorcycle and submitted a false police report blaming the people he was suing.
- He accidentally sent surveillance video of the alleged vandal (himself) to a troll.
- Mr. Tomlinson has never shown this video footage during any of his media tours, and desperately tries to scrub it from the internet.
- Mr. Tomlinson claims that the surveillance video was initiated by his "motion-activated" camera, which only collects "30 seconds at a time", despite the video being 32 seconds long and beginning several seconds before the "vandal" enters into the frame.
- On 13 April 2023, the individual responsible for calling the fake emergencies (SWATs) to Mr. Tomlinson's house, a SWAT-for-hire dealer named "Torswats", revealed that Mr. Tomlinson ordered the SWATs to his own house because he wanted to get in the news and sue the MPD for money.
- Torswats would repeat these allegations in private chats which were not intended for public view.
- Mr. Tomlinson has gone on multiple news tours since the SWATtings started in order to promote his victimhood brand, utilizing the services of Lenora Claire.
- He also recently sued the MPD for money.

I'm re-reading The Silmarillion right now, and imagining Pat trying to wade through it is fucking hilarious. "Who the fuck is Fëanor? Does he surf on shields too?"
Y'all are sleeping on them.

Never seen them and never will. Fantasy films bore me to tears.

Well there's no gay sex in them so you probably wouldn't like them anyway.

No! They were just 4 men, single into their 40s and 50s who spent a lot of time together. Just pals, like Paul Lynde and Rock Hudson.

"Eligible bachelors!"
It's the context. Sauron is Satan, the evil wizard is a Jew, the orcs are niggers and Arabs, and the white people are white people.

I'm sure they're good stories and well made films I just can't make the leap with fantasy stuff. Don't know why.
The silmarillion is a masterpiece.
There is more wisdom in the writings of Tolkien and Lewis than there is in any philosophy or popular science ever written combined.
The films are good and I’m not gonna be one of those pretentious anti movie people, but that’s just what they are - Hollywood movies. The power of the books is obviously lost in them and leads to people like Patrick getting tacky tattoos because they want to get fucked by the Aragon actor.
I was the same but jumped in eventually and when it clicks, it’s a really rewarding experience. If you read the right books.
If you’re like me you are probably put off by the usual stereotype of fantasy nerds* but the real fantasy nerds aren’t like that, they’re just normal dudes you could easily go to the bar with.

The Silmarillion definitely gets more rewarding on re-reads. I do it, The Hobbit and LOTR once a year or so. I'm adding Unfinished Tales and some of the History and Silmarillion-related books this year. I still enjoy the movies for the most part, but I find more that I dislike more about them every time through. There's some heinous dialogue.

No, it's not the fans or nerdy thing. Maybe more the elves, dragons etc. Never felt the need to give GoT a try either. Maybe will give LOTR a go when the kids are a bit older.
Christopher understood his father’s outlook and protected his legacy well.
Whoever owns the family IP rights now doesn’t really seem to care, it’ll keep getting diluted till Disney are making cartoons about it.
(He fucking hated Disney and vowed never to let them make anything in his name, because he took fairy tales seriously and Disney did stuff like make Dwarves little gay cute retards, when they should be proud strong warriors etc)
Tolkien hates black speech(ebonic) and especially that inscription
Yes, but fortunately that isn't the point of the story. Funny enough, Sam came off as the gayest and cried the most, and he's the only one who ended up with a wife and kids.*
Yeah, it's one thing to enjoy a work of fantasy or science fiction once in a while, and another thing to make your entire gay, empty personality revolve around it.
Speaking of animation, does the Bakshi movie hold up? I haven't seen it since I was a kid and I remember nothing.
*in the movies, anyway. I'm aware of the Appendices, but Piggy and his tattoo are not.
I’ve never seen that original animated version. I hear it’s charming, though.
