umbrellasareessential:leeeeeeeeeegooooooooolaaaaaaaaas:durinesque:christiangeronzin:So I’m going to be making memes for these wannabe Tolkien fans. They usually call themselves “fangirls” although this hasn’t always been the case I associate the term with girls who are fans for like a month and don’t know anything about the mythology.This is 600 shades of total bullshit and reeks of the stupid fuck fake geek girl shit that literally makes me want to smush your judgmental eyeballs into your skull.You don’t have to know jack shit about Tolkien’s mythology to be a fan of Tolkien’s stories. You don’t have to memorize the Silmarillion, or be able to list all the Valar, or know what the Children of Hurin is. You don’t even have to have read all the books, or ANY of the books for all it fucking matters.Congratulations on being better than everyone else in the universe, if it makes you feel good to shit on other people who are just in different stages of loving the EXACT SAME THING AS YOU.Who cares if someone has been a fan for a day or a month or a year or a lifetime. The length of time does not determine whether someone is allowed to call themselves a fan of something. Nor does their depth of knowledge on it. Someone could have seen ONE EPISODE of a tv show and if they like it enough that they want to see more, then they can call themselves a fan.What makes someone not a fan is treating other people like shit for being at different points on an imaginary, bullshit scale of technical know-how. Tolkien would think you’re a bully and an ass for shaming someone based on their sex and how much or little they know about his complicated mythology. His mythology, like the Silmarillion and the Lost Tales and his histories, are not the easiest reads for an adult, never mind a 14 year old in high school who is still allowed to love and be a fan of The Hobbit and Lord of the Rings. Come down to live amongst the rest of us peasants, the thin air on top of your high horse is clearly affecting your ability to be pleasant human being.bless youa-fucking-men -- source link
