Yeah, because Tolkein and his contemporaries weren't Christian fundamentalists or anything. The books aren't filled with Christianity imagery and mythos or anything. Sauron and Morgoth aren't literal analogues to the devil or anything.

Liberals haven't found the subject yet that they won't happily lie about.

Tolkien was not a fundamentalist. He was a Catholic. However, he was a faithful Christian, so of course he opposed homosexuality and divorce and all that.

I stopped trying to defend myself. One former friend got mad at me because I said as a Christian I see marriage as one man and one woman. Now I don’t care how ppl live their lives but I was just giving my view. She hasn’t talked to me since.

Marriages are breeding contracts, nothing more, nothing less. This modern concept of marriage was magically created the same time homosexuality and single motherhood started imploding. Gay people can’t breed, and single moms couldn’t possibly be shamed. So instead we redefine marriage to appease everyone.

Good riddance to that "friend" of yours, who was no friend to begin with.

I am bisexual, and it is plain even to me who the hateful, exclusionary, intolerant and bigoted people are. It was your supposed friend.

Christian fundamentalists You're thinking of Evangelicals. Tolkien chanted in Latin and performed the rituals in ancient Roman-Speech.

2001: Men talking about their feelings is gay >:(

2021: Men talking about their feelings will be gay >:(

Article is tiresome scrawl, shifting goalposts from "Look at this "essay" desperately trying convince people the curtains aren't blue" to "Directors' thought up a scene before scrapping it" to unironic "Current Year" without one singular fact. The Left has pretty much a monopoly on creatives, there isn't a handful capable of knocking a few braincells together that aren't dedicated to thinking up new ways to insult heretics and creating your own media instead of aping on the works of your betters? Or are we scared of offending the Orthodoxy, little "revolutionaries"?

It's more like they're Morgoth & Sauron, since a Tolkien thread seems an apt place to use that analogy. SJWs don't have the ability to actually create anything new, these deranged bugmen are so trapped in their programming and so hopelessly hollow on the inside that they can only ever corrupt and mangle the works of those who came before them to try to serve their wicked purposes - which is exactly what they're trying to do with LOTR.

“The Shadow that bred them can only mock, it cannot make: not real things of its own. I don't think it gave life to the orcs, it only ruined them and twisted them.”

Trying to make fanfiction masturbatory fetishist shit sound legitimate was a huge mistake and it plagues media and culture.
No, writing fanfiction is not some great thing. No, I don't care about how "UGGGHH, I have read fanfiction that was so much better than real books", anyone who says that gets on my Shitlist of Retards automatically.

They realized they can't unperson Tolkien (like they did to, say, Lovecraft) because his work is too popular and too deeply woven into the mainstream.

So instead, they're going to subvert the content of his books so that next generations would remember him as a progressive icon.

Tfw brothers in arms comforting eachother in misery means they want to fuck. These people really do not have a concept of love and friendship, only cheap thrills.

Willng, eager, whole-hearted master-servant relationships between white men: leftist anathema.

It must be ANYTHING else. Why not gay?

Well, these people are all perverts, all they think about is fucking. You can't have meaningful relationships of any kind without a sexual elements according to disgusting vermin like this.

For the millionth time, write your own stories! Lgbt is a small percentage of the overall population. You are free to live how you want but write your own stories with all the gay stuff you want. Stop injecting stuff into other peoples stories!

They can't. At least, they can't and have it reach anywhere near the success of actually good authors. Which is why they want to take a shortcut by corrupting an already well established and popular creation.

And they get ballistic if you suggest they write their own stories.

Oh please, we already know Legolas and Gimli were fucking, which is why Boromir had to die. He found out.

Leftist: "Why don't straight men open up about their feelings to each other?"

Leftist: "OMG! Those two guys shared their feelings! They totally want to bone each other!"

"Those who cannot conceive Friendship as a substantive love, but only as a disguise or elaboration of Eros, betray the fact that they have never had a friend."
