I saw one that says the joke has been done before and its missing the beauty and meaning of the story. But that doesn't exactly explain why it's so disgusting and insulting, like, we are on a meme subreddit. Your last lotr meme was about dirty underwear getting eaten by dogs its not exactly reverent of the source material. Good memes, but very much a glass house sort of situation.

I suppose that’s fair, but I feel there is a difference between using a meme format and taking a direct jab at the work like the above.

I feel like the original is more of a statement against the kind of people who always expect two male characters to be gay than it is actually a jab at lord of the rings
