They also aren’t done yet

they want to convince you it’s like a fanfic convention and talking about queer readings and trans reinterpretations is just a fun hypothetical. But the careerists and academics who organize and speak at shit like this need to keep the narrative evolving and they need to make it look as legit as possible. So they will forever be pushing conversation in the direction of making Tolkien himself more inclusive and because they publish their findings out of accredited universities they can say you are a narrow-minded, toxic bigot if you disagree with their “finding” that Tolkien was trans-positive and deliberately included dog whistles about it in his fiction

The estate will also stand behind them
