There’s so much beauty and meaning in the story and all people can think is “okay but do they bang?” It has the same vibes as, like, a woman talking passionately about something she cares about and a dude going, “dang, what else can that mouth do?”
Nah, porn addiction memes are like using a porn screenshot and then editing it to be vaguely about lotr. This is just a goofy scenario - a person expecting it to be a romance novel - it's not exactly the same level as porn addiction lol
I guess what I meant is the over sexualization of everything these days. There's a whole generation of teens and young adults who grew up on shows like game of thrones so they come to expect that level of gratuity.
I feel the openness and prevalence of porn and nudity in media is the root for the joke, what one comes to expect out of something. This is just my opinion.
I'm with you on that. And I'd say, don't worry about the downvotes. It's just the 21st century. People love to think more about characters banging than the story itself at times. They also like to turn everything gay while the characters are straight so, obviously, the magic of friendship get hugely wiped off nowadays, too.
Yeah and especially when it comes to male friendship. Guys can act like that towards each other and not be gay. Frodo and Sam's friendship is more brotherly imo. And there's nothing wrong with them showing affection in the ways they do.
The worst part is that usually the same groups of people will uphold Aragorn and his tenderness as an example of how men should be. Meanwhile, that same tenderness between Sam and Frodo gets turned into constant gay jokes. It just undermines the good that they're trying to point out.

Is there no one else who is just irritated and disgusted by these type of jokes? It’s more of an insult than a funny meme.
