Because every woman in LOTR is for the heroes to put their little hobbit pee pees in. Based Tolkien

No they are not, LotR is not a liberal story, therefore it does not rely on liberal democracy's oversexualization of everything

entry-level fantasy that makes reddit feel intellectually superior for some reason

>>17764631
where is the romance tho?

Is it because there's no female self-insert character like there is for H*rry P*tter et al?

>>17764673
>LotR is not a liberal story
Yes it is lol, Tolkien was a whiny libcuck

>>17764678
its entry level and exit level fantasy tho

I know a few Jewish women who have gotten into it. Of course this was before white male authors became a “no no” according to everyone influential so I doubt jewesses of the younger generation would bother. Of course jewesses aren’t really femoids. They’re psychologically more masculine and also less neotenous than regular white Women. So basically it’s because of the inner workings of the femoid brain, that genius of femininity that possesses them to worship tiktok and try to organize morning yoga in their mid level workplaces

When I was a kid everyone in my friend group was obsessed with it. It was about 50/50 girls and dudes. The girls liked to dress up like elves and the boys liked to pretend they were Gondor soldiers or orcs and hit each other with foam swords. Good times man.

>His friend group was half foid
Ask me how I know you're gay

>>17764753
Did you at least manage to bang one of the elf QTs?

I knew a woman who would not shut the fuck up about how much she wanted to fuck Frodo.

We were a big group of homeschool kids who were lumped together so it was a mix. Also being friends with girls as a kid helped me develop healthy relationships with women later in life — unlike you, incel.

>hanging out with girls is gay
Do incels just inhale copium so much it smooths their brains or what

TLotR celebrates humanity, women lack humanity.

>>17764782
let them cope anon, they're the last ones in their bloodlines

Read something with no women at all.

>>17764631

they don't, infact I find women like Tolkien more than men

>>17764631
probably because it's a nerdy male power fantasy

Tolkien thought the best form of government was tribal kingship.

I have read the Hobbit. I have watched both trilogies. I really like the LOTR one and aim to read the books too. But I myself don't understand how people can get so swallowed up by it, or anything for that matter, such as LOTR, Star Wars/Trek, super heroes or anime. Am I too cynical, self-denying or boring compared to how some people seem adore and crave going to get togethers where people gather to sperg about some stupid fucking show or franchise? I really like LOTR but don't feel a crave to talk or the discuss the series with just about anyone. Same thing with games. I don't feel strongly enough about anything to wanna make bonds or conversations about it. I kinda wish I were so easily entertained or so socially outgoing.

>>17766571
i wonder if it's worth it to read all that popular shit just to not look like an outcast when people come up with this shit as conversation topics, i recently got into a job and they did this kind of trivia game revolving around some marvel heroes shit, asking about some magical rocks and universes and multiverses, i coulnd't make sense of what was going on for the following 40 minutes.
> I kinda wish I were so easily entertained or so socially outgoing.
have you considered faking it ? i don't know it this would be a good idea.

>i wonder if it's worth it to read all that popular shit just to not look like an outcast when people come up with this shit as conversation topics
It's almost an obligation to be honest. It is a prerequisite to know about popular culture when going out in public. I despise super hero shit and sports shit. I cant find those things entertaining at all. But if I were to go to work or school and some cute girl or dude bro chanced upon conversation with me what are we to talk about aside from the weather or work? Most probably some dumb celebrity gossip, how cool thanos is with his glove or how awesome some sports dude kicked a ball. But if Im not at all interested in those things or even know anything about them, should I fake so? You can fake it to some civil extent to show you are interested in conversation with them. Loudly exclaiming u hate those things seems sort of immature. But I wouldn't wanna falsely entice this person to continute with their innane chatter about Marvel or the royal family affairs. To be honest I don't know what I would talk about, they would have to steer the conversation. But if left to their own devices it may very well be a stale and unfullfiling conversation at that. Shortly put it is a genuine disadvantage to not find major pop cultural icons interesting. Because if you don't you either have to pretend you do and be false to yourself and nurture undesireable relationships. Or you stay true to yourself and risk remaining alone for much longer until you might chance upon someone with a similar mindset, which is much easier if you show at least some inclination or knowledge about Thanos' golden piss glove and his chaos emeralds

I love LoTR but I don't really talk about it very in-depth with people. I usually just recommend it. There are people far more knowledgeable about Midgard than me.

And please don't lump it in with garbage like Marvel and Star Wars.

Being critical of Hitler isn’t libcuckery, especially for an Englishman of that time. Tolkien would probably be fired from Oxford today from some offhand old fashioned funny remark.

Are Americans really that obsessed with capeshit? I barely hear any mention of it here (Europe). It's usually just kids and betas that go to see the movies, and it's looked down upon as such.

but anon, there's a lot of women and male to female women who have read and enjoyed lotr.

>>17764631
There's exactly 2 reasons a woman would read LOTR:
>OMG YASSS EOWYN KWEEN SLAY, SHOW THAT WITCH KING CHUD SOME GRRRRRLLL POWER
>OMG FRODO AND SAM ARE GAY FOR EACH OTHER! *writes 10,000 slash fanfic*

>>17764694

>>17764631
Both men and woman hate lotr, boys on the other hand love it.

>>17764677
LOTR is very romantic if your idea of romance isn't in the gutter

>>17764631
because there is no sex on every eleventh page

>>17764933
it's so weird how absolutely sexless FKMT's work is but honestly it's one of the reasons i love it
