It seems that you missed your punchline and it still searching for it,allow me to clarify myself so you can stop searching for it,i mentioned Bilbo exactly because he is the bullet that goes the other way,and as it stated,even if it goes the other way,it is still a bullet.
Bilbo is a different hobbit,he is anti social and very introverted,to the point that he has very few persons that he could call friend on his village,his most noteworthy friend is Gandalf,and only because he is a friend of his family...with all these breaks to the stereotype,why would i ever use Bilbo as a example?Because there are things that even Bilbo cant avoid,and these are his cultural traces,during all the journey the thing that motivates Bilbo is the thought of getting back to his home,and he even tries to abandon the dwarfs in some ocasions,this doesnt happen because even an anti social hobbit like Bilbo have the same need for social interaction that all the hobbits have,its one of the motives for him to never leave the village(full of people that he normally simply cant stand to interact)before Gandalf forcing him to,and even changed by all the journey,he still find comfort to returning his home.All of these things are part of his hobbit culture and he can hate or flee from them all he wants,but they will still be there giving that hobbit touch for his existence,he can be different still,but he continues a hobbit...dunno why the fuck youre joking around that,since racism from the stereotypes made for every race in a rpg game is the most common joke you can see,its why Erevi is such a dominatrix bitch,its why Ellewen and Luthien are so self concerned,goblins are little kamikazes,orcs are a pain in the ass to everyone,ogres are dumb,and giants are clumsy...those are all stereotypes and the game capitalizes on them to make it more funny,its simple as that....
Man,it was annoying as fuck write this much,i sincerely hope you to stop making me do that,because its annoying as fuck see someone who clearly read the Hobbit ignoring the character and world construction just to find a way to disagree with me,all in account for a bad joke...
