i hate when you google a word and some fucking company comes up instead. Do you think you are more important than the english dictionary you piece of shit corporation
hey lotf fandom i know we had this conversation months ago and some of us decided to make fun of the person who said it, so here goes again!
the word "savages" in lotf is racist. it is used in a racist way, by a racist man. it was used only to describe people who did not abide by white, british stereotypes and hunted for survival and painted their bodies and acted unlike the white definition of "civilized." this is an occuring issue throughout white history, especially in the united states. during westward expansion, white people went outside of the united states to establish "order" (white rule) in "uncilivized" (indigenous peoples) areas. and golding was referring to those people as the villians of the story and what made them so evil was their "savagery."
THAT is why the word is racist. if you want to argue with me, go right ahead but know that you are ignoring the history behind the word being used in that way AND you are arguing to keep using a racist term because you think it isn't racist.
oh and on this post let's use our brains! it obviously isn't referring to the word used lyrically/in reference to songs or any other way outside of the obvious!
the racism in the fandom is a running issue that i never see anyone acknowledge and it messes with me too lmao. op this is the most valid post i've seen in a while
