Fricking gross. What the hell.
When The Hobbit movies came out, I was quite annoyed by the addition of female elf Tauriel. A friend of mine had an 8 year old daughter who was OBSESSED with her, dressed up like her for halloween, and ended up reading all of LotR.
So, I KIND of get the addition (not gender bending) of a couple of minor roles. I still think Tauriel was hamfisted and stupid, and the part was clearly written for 8 year old girls, but whatever.
This...this is just appalling.
What's next, a Chronicles of Narnia where Lucy steps through the wardrobe into Narnia and finds Mr Tumnus the fawn getting blown by Mrs Beaver? (Just to be safe I am not going to google that for Rule 34.)
Worse. Aslan will be revealed to be the villain, and the White Witch will be the hero, because wahmen.
