The greatest hits include:
"He wasn't a Christian, he never went to Rome." Lol? So if you are poor, you can't be Christian. Only poor people born in and around Rome can be Christian.
"He was only Christian because of his mother." Say the same about Muslims and Jews, I dare you.
"Who also wasn't a proper Christian, she just wanted to find people nice to her." First of all, most of us are not looking for people who are abusing us. Woah, mate. Also, how condescending can a person get?
"He wasn't a Christian, no Christian can create anything entertaining." This is too dumb. Jim Butcher is Christian. I probably read all his books crying. Or he is also suddenly not Christian, because his books have a wizard riding a T-rex to battle?
The author references this thing: https://archive.is/jRqvo ("Is ‘The Lord of the Rings’ a queer love story?") as evidence of his claims (which he also wrote, so, haha).
He describes Tolkien and Lewis' famous decades long debate on the nature of Christianity, literature, allegory and myth as: "When he explained Christianity to a struggling C.S. Lewis..."
That article is so bad as well.
"We decided that his best friend was gay, so he is also gay and his book is gay." Was his family pet also gay? Is gay an infection? So if you ever sat on a bench where a gay person sat before, you are gay now, so if the sandwich you made and your car and your potted plants?
Dark skinned invading hordes coming from the south. A world of ethnic groups living separatly. A struggle against a force that seeks to unify everything into sameness. Some superior kin not as easily corrupted as other races. High elfs and royals of superior stock.
And while it doesn't call for the subordination of women, they're not exactly featured either. The few women are either feminine types, or oracle types. As is right since they would have no business tagging along on a dangerous adventure.

Hell, in a deleted scene of the Two Towers Eómer straight up told Éowyn that war is hell and she should stay as far away as she could, which was the right thing to do. No one should want to go to war, it's a unfortunate necessity in life.

Haha, additionally:
I think I'm gonna stop reading there...

"Don't wanna catch The Gay, now" - your average proglodyte's Liberal mother 10 years ago
This is what university is now. Go look at what the Tolkien society does. "How Tolkien makes me feel about putting things in my butt: An essay"
I'd add
to the greatest hits.
I now have a new author to look up. Thanks!
Also, try Larry Correia, super based, super fun.
LOTR couldn't possibly be more openly racist.

LOTR is incredibly based.

Well, the only female fighter in the books hid the fact that she was a woman...
Wow, that's... Extreme.
We really have reached a nadir of culture, for that drivel to even get published, let alone "popular" on the interwebs... :-/
I need the title of whatever book has a wizard and a T Rex please. I didn’t know I needed it, but I do.
One of the Dresden Files ones. Book 6 Or 7 or so.
It's not only a T-Rex, it's a zombie T-Rex. Like Bulb said, it's a Dresden Files book. I believe it's Dead Beat.
They're pretty quick reads imo, at least til the last few he's put out
"He's not a true Christian because he never made his required pilgrimage to Mecca."
