Spot on. It's not fake. The job is subsidized subversion-- which is quite real.

The nightmares are real, and they're not in your dreams.

It may be a hostile, evil job, dedicated to spreading hate and misery, but it is definitely not a fake one. Disbelieve at your own risk.

Next, the two women argued, “Even if Tolkien had specified that all elves, dwarves and hobbits were white, it still wouldn’t matter.”

They explained, “Adaptations are original cultural products that can imitate, question, rewrite or interpret source material in various ways. Each adaptation is a new text.”

They then claim “And each is an opportunity to update outdated and unacceptable tropes, and find ways to represent and normalise non-white characters.”

Basically the "experts" admit that they do not care about the lore or Tolkien and they want to push their politics.

At least now the racism is out in the open, not that it would change anything.

Tolkien did specify them as White. But they obviously choose to ignore that.

2 unfuckable white women who look like pugs in black wigs and problematic glasses. So, the usual suspects when it comes to racist cunts who are out to destroy everything men have created simply because some cuck wanted to get his dick wet and gave them or other fat whores who hired them power.

Tolkien was a staunch nationalist and believed contraceptives are an abomination. When his parish switched from traditional latin mass to english mass, he would reply to the priest only in latin. How the fuck do these people reconcile this position when the author's views are made so clear?

As a fellow Christian, I agree with him. You're not supposed to be having sex unless you are married, and in that case, why not have children? Any other kind of sex is really about worshiping the woman.

More like masturbating with another's body.

Easily: Their views are important. Nothing and no one else matters. Done! Reconciled.

Oh yeah, I made the mistake of assuming these were reasonable people again.

As an avid Tolkien fan, this fake expert can go fuck themselves.

I also applaud Amazon for removing potential viewers of their shit.

Surprised Amazon hasn't been accused of Tolkienism.

What a shitshow. I fully expected all this to happen but it's still really disappointing. Please crash and burn.
