Completely unsurprising though
Most likely all the billionaires and right wingers weirdly obsessed with LoTR just watched the movies and never bothered to see what Tolkien actually made
Of course they get mad when Rings of Power (admittedly a dogshit show) portrays orcs with any f**king sympathy whatsoever, it goes against their weird narrative about how orcs represent like pure evil races and that Aragorn was like some Aryan savior or whatever bullshit they have on Twitter
And of course they miss that Tolkien hated portraying orcs as mostly bad at all, and wrote as many signifiers as possible that they were corrupted and not inherently born as purely vile and malicious
Uhh shit got a bit nerdy mb
