On a similar note, I never got it when "Le Based Christpilled Gymbros" and generally conservative people were surprised how the worst people ever are following the same fandom and adapting the books as some identity politics scheme. It's a fictionalized and scrambled fable for kids made by some old man who liked imagining things while at his desk as a pasttime. It's not the Iliad or The Epic of Gilgamesh or even romantic literature that it talks about chilvary or virtue in a historical but hyperbolic setting. Why even create that kind of elaborate scheme? Why not use a semi-historical setting? What the hell even is a Dothraki? Or Uruk-Hai?

People forget that the same man who made the LoTR movies popularized Harry Potter as well because he adapted those books as well.
