I’m torn. Both Galadriel and Sauron say the other is a threat to Middle-earth. One has to be wrong, so whom am I to trust? Should I trust the Dark Lord who attempted to topple the White City of Gondor, dominate all life, and attempt to stay in power for eternity? Or do I trust the Elf Queen representing the coalition of Men and Elves who defeated Sauron when he tried to enslave the Free Peoples… but could maybe do more meet-and-greets?
Frodo was saved by the community he built along the way. That’s why we build community in the first place. Media literacy isn’t that hard if you put your mind to it!
He was saved by Gollum biting his fucking finger off, but sure. Keep simping for your rich, nepo-baby, landowning bourgeois. Find it hilarious seeing someone from hexbear backing the landlord in the story.
Bourgeois? That sounds like communist talk. Are you some kind of tankie?
No, but would’ve loved when Frodo got rid of Sam, if Sam has said “See the violence inherent in the system! Help, I’m being repressed!” 😄

And yet I don’t find it surprising that the ee is backing genocidal maniacs, that seems pretty par for the course

In one of Tolkien’s letters, he specifically says that if Gollum had been redeemed as much as he could, he would have taken the ring and jumped into Mt. Doom voluntarily.
