I'm just gonna go ahead and speak for the mod team here.
LOTR memes are fine. If the meme was LOTR related and makes fun of Biden, suck it up and post one about trump or whatever. If it wasn't at all LOTR related, report it and keep in mind this mod team doesn't consist of powermods who browse Reddit 18 hours a day.
As for the picture? Honestly didn't notice until it got brought up and it's quite funny tbh.
Now, about the theory that we're somehow "feeding" something:
We are here to moderate, not curate. There are mods who do like the show and there are mods who do not like the show. As long as it stays civil & the topic is LOTR pretty much anything should be allowed to be said. Yes it sucks that the community is divided but hey, it is what it is.
Do not mistake our refusal to curate & push (insert thing you agree with) for malice. We're curating & pushing nothing. Those who like the show can be as vocal as the ones who dislike it. Just downvote (or upvote) and move on. Feel free to voice your opinion on the show, books or movies. Your opinion turns out to be unpopular? Too bad, we're not here to make it the popular opinion.
PS: For the love of God stop reporting things that you guys don't agree with but doesn't break the rules. That applies to both sides. Our phones get blasted with notifications and it becomes much more easy to miss a legit report.
Edit: Like jfc guys, who reported this for "self-harm" lmfao
Solid response
Reminds me of Reddit back in the day. Surprised that mod can still tolerate that shithole.
