Tradoids who use Tolkien aesthetics to justify National Redoubt White Ethnostatism are retards who only watched the movies and never read the Scouring of the Shire. You can NEVER go back
I have an odd relationship with middle earth. I quite like many things downstream of it. The influence on bands like Burzum and Summoning is very obvious, for instance. It's also near singlehandedly responsible for the shape of fantasy roleplaying (Dungeons and Dragons was nearly killed in its infancy by a lawsuit from Tolkien's estate). But LotR itself, both in print and film, is the most dreadfully boring series that I have ever attempted to engage with. Seeing one of the extended cuts was the only time I've ever walked out of a movie theater in the middle of the show because I was going stir crazy only an hour in. As a result I see Tolkien's work as a raw material; I may be unable to process it but it contains an essence others can extract and refine.
