Take LoTR. The reason evil exists in the books is because the creator is singing new creations into existence and Melkor wants to co-opt the song. It’s the reason Sauron’s armies are twisted forms of elves. The evil in LoTR CANNOT CREATE, they can go “this thing looks like this other thing”
The far right is obsessed with Lord of the Rings and Musk keeps posting about "hobbits" because modern scientific racism owes more to fantasy worlds and gaming systems than genetic science, and they see both as effective mediums for right-wing propaganda www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2025/1...

I remember thinking my story was way superior to Aladdin 2 but idk :D I killed off the Sultan to make Aladdin the ruler, and he and Jasmine went on a honeymoon on the carpet? The story was not engaging but it was a great project! I had a folder for it and drew pictures too :D
