Pretty soon they’ll concoct homo tendencies in C.S. Lewis writings.

Or perhaps bestiality in the Narnia series.

The “Woke” always follow these steps:

Step I: They destroy the thing they hate.

Step II: If Step I doesn’t work, they claim that thing as their own.

Legolas did seem a bit light in the loafers, otherwise just NO!

It's the Tolkien Society not the Tolkien readers. Seems the society has a ghey problem but the books are just fine.

Tolkien’s son died recently. He kept Tolkien’s legacy pure and uncorrupted. With his death the left wormed their way into control of the rights and immediately began the corruption process. The parallel to Sauron is too easy here.

If its based in “academia” and it involves the humanities or social sciences, its corrupted.

That was Orlando Bloom in the movies.

What do they say about any enterprise? The third generation wrecks it.

In this case, it's too far removed from the source and easily corrupted.

"Pretty soon they’ll concoct homo tendencies in C.S. Lewis writings."

Liam Neeson, brilliant theologian and Lewis scholar that he is, already suggested Aslan represented Mohammed.

I always thought Gollum was suspect. All that “my precious, my precious.”

Kinda, and the guy Frodo stole the ring from. Legolas I’m judging from the movie.

The deconstruction thing about the reader putting the meaning into what they’ve read explains CRT classes.

None of which are there. Tolkein was an Orthodox, born again Christian who viewed his work as a metaphor for Christ and his salvation. Any attempt to depict the Ring as other than a testimony to the power and authority of Christ is malicious and slanderous.

Get copies for your kids and grand children now because it’s only a matter of time before Tolkien is banned, too.
