The Fellowship and "the help" : lotrmemes

What we see here is called a “fantasy land”. You can tell because the rich and powerful try to help their subjugates.

IRL they would’ve just voted Sauron into office.

Good meme though.

I can't see a real politician setting themselves on fire out of grief.

Wait till you find out how may people born in 1892 were racist

Not-racists did exist at the time. Would be cool if Tolkien was ahead of the curve, but it's not going to diminish his legacy if we criticize him a little.

Shh... you're not allowed to point out racist and sexist themes in LOTR because as everyone knows, 'being a product of its time' absolves it of any modern criticism and saying otherwise makes you a woke DEI snowflake.
