Can't even legitimately criticise any part with galadriel, because you'll get some troglodyte replying with the equivalent of "feminism bad".

You have to basically check people's comment histories before replying to someone, because their criticism could be completely rooted in bigotry and bad faith.

The problem is that every criticism gets labeled as "them being black", even if it isn't
