@theoneringnet @Quickbeam2000 @Dr_Dimitra_Fimi * SERIOUSLY?
Do you really think I am going to tackle the topic of "sexuality & Tolkien" on Twitter?
The place where people yell at each other for next to no reason at all?

I'll tell you what the OP is getting wrong, imho.

Tolkien trending in Brazil in part because of the false idea that LOTR is a Scandinavian white story. Laughable at best, a total bastardization of his work at worst. Tolkien intentionally NEVER DESCRIBES RACE in LOTR, the closest he gets is Aragorn having a dark complexion. 1/5
“I have the hatred of apartheid in my bones; and most of all I detest the segregation or separation of Language and Literature. I do not care which of them you think White." - JRR Tolkien, in his own words, denouncing any conscription of his stories to a specific race. 2/5
JRR Tolkien said, “we have no right, whatever they have done, to label any person as subhuman... My political opinions lean more and more to Anarchy (philosophically understood, meaning the abolition of control).” 3/5
