anghraine: a picture of grey-white towers starting to glow yellow in the rising sun (minas anor)
Quora sent me a response about Aragorn’s claim to the throne that heavily downplayed the Stewards while completely overlooking some very salient elements of the original claim (like, Arvedui claiming to be the rightful king of Gondor under a misrepresentation of Númenórean law while his father was alive)

And then the first annoying response came from

Orson Scott Card

I don’t know why I even click on the Gondor discussions that Quora sends me

Tagged: #even when it's not directly about the stewards it's ... pretty bad #either a) inane b) weak defenses of movie gondor c) super racist or d) some combination thereof #not that there isn't the occasional good post but mostly #concentrated yikes

It’s obviously not the worst part of that wtf take on the Stewards, but “most notably” Ecthelion? Over Mardil? Boromir? Cirion?

Pffft.

#but ecthelion liked aragorn so that makes him the best steward of them all #>_> #tbh cirion is probably the best ruler gondor ever had

For once, Quora sent me something relevant to my interests:
