i think a problem is that people always express themselves in extremes
lotr can't just be sexist or have black and white morality, no it has to be most misogynist morally black and white piece of shit problematic trash in existence
which then leads people who would agree that lotr is sexist and black and white in morality to point out that it's not the actual worst when compared to other works in the genre
ok gentlefarter, no one is saying its the worst, we don't have to preface all criticisms by acknowledging that other shit is bad when we want to talk about one particular work
literally no one said it was problematic trash except you projecting but if you really can't get why ppl would have problems with a popular series that's more influential on pop culture than other shitty fantasy, then mb you need to not stan it every time
