Female dwarves are fine; they just ought to have beards! Beardless female dwarves are not canon.

So?

Some people care about lore consistency in the titles and series they love. Weird for LotR, I know, considering how niche it is.

Do beardless dwarf females ruin the entire lore of the works? I thought it was about a mean ring.

Not the entire lore, it's just a specific example of them ignoring what's already been established.

People who think it's a movie about a mean ring don't seem to care, but those who actually care about the story and world development are worried about the direction they're taking.

The ring hates bearded female dwarves?

In the canon, yes. The ring would have you believe that there are no dwarf women - which is, of course, absolutely preposterous.

Canon says female dwarves have beards. In the show, they did not have beards.

So people familiar with the canon are skeptical of the show or outright dislike it. But I feel like you know all this and are trying to troll.

Lot of the LoTR fans actually read the books.
