Anghraine

Yes, entirely, re: nitpicks of doom. I have two specific fics that get endless (now-screened) comments that are never quite actually about the abortion and the "Jewish" Dúnedain, but they're never quite about anything else either. It does become clear.

But I'm not entirely sure how to reconcile my extreme distaste for "you can't use criticism of NLOG to characterize dudebro fans actively using that exact framework in a grossly misogynistic way because of the homophobes" and my extreme distaste for Tolkien fandom's refusal to consider the context before they start going on screeds about Arondir or MTG Aragorn -- does this need reconciling? They seem like fairly different contexts, to me. I don't really think there's a… Not Like Other White People? equivalent to the latter. I think you can go on disliking both attitudes without dissonance!
