the fact that these middle-aged men project their fantasies on galadriel is so obvious bc why the fuck would anyone care this much if she "cheated" on her husband? are YOU her husband? why do you care if she is "tarnished" by having feelings for the dark lord? do you think she is an actual saint of a real religion?
they are obsessed with reducing galadriel to the role of wife/mother and keeping her confined in it and defined by it bc they decided she is their tradwife fantasy. BUT WHY? sure, she is wiser and calmer later in life, but she isn't this domestic housewife. she has always been an ambitious politician first and foremost with tolkien, so where does this mischaracterization come from?
galadriel is in fact everything these kinds of men hate. a witch ✅ a man-maiden ✅ an amazonian ✅ her greatest desire being power ✅ ambitious "career" woman ✅ isn't defined by wifehood and motherhood ✅ all men are seduced by her beauty ✅
celeborn is like a presidential candidate's trophy husband. and sauron is her opponent candidate (not her "abuser"), lol. galadriel's story isn't that of a divine feminine saint tradwife stay-at-home mom, so why are you forcing this persona on her?
yeah, tolkien is rolling in his grave. he made extra sure that galadriel isn't defined by being celeborn's wife/celebrian's mother and is an ambitious powerful figure but these "lore purists" completely strip her off of that and reduce her to something she never was...
like, seriously, tolkien made sure that c+c don't get in the way of galadriel's story by making them non-entity npcs in the background of gal's lore, but now these nerdbros are making sure that galadriel's story is thought of as being about nothing more than her being a wife/mother.
