What is wrong with the pre-pubescent Hobbiters? They seem pretty chill (save the Fili-fetishing and Tauriel rage)
they seem to care about ships before plot
they ship anyone they see as attractive, no matter how ridiculous (fili/kili for example) with no qualms, yet the moment a female character is introduced all hell breaks loose
THEY IGNORE PLOT FOR SHIPS
THEY IGNORE TOLKIEN AND JACKSON CANON JUST SO THEY CAN SEE THEIR FAVOURITE CHARACTERS FUCK
AND THEN INSIST THAT ‘IT COULD HAPPEN’, ‘ITS BASICALLY CANON’
so that is what annoys me. they fetishise gay relationships and treat it like a novelty, and then bash the first female character that comes along in ten years!
i adore Tolkien’s world, and respect it and think it is amazing, and it literally pains me to see people totally de-value it completely and make everything about sex. i think that’s basically spitting on tolkien’s grave and everything he was trying to say with his works.
that’s why i prefer the lotr side of the tolkien fandom. they can appreciate that. they do appreciate that. so much. and it pains me that the hobbit fans dont.
