    And don’t get me started on black unbearded female dwarves who have no need for melanin underground… what the fuck.

        And it’s not a problem for LotR either, lol.

        Among other things, the setting isn’t just creationist, there are elves running around in the show that remember it.

      Well actually, the dwarves were created by the smith god Aulë deep in darkness under the mountains of Middle-Earth, made to be strong and unyielding. I don’t think he cared much about their reaction to the sun, it stands to reason their skin would mirror the materials used by the god that created them - clay and stone. A darker skin tone makes more sense to me frankly.

        Ooo nice take, I like this. I could totally get behind this if it was all dwarves being darker skinned, but unfortunately in the show it isn’t.
