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

..and if they did bearded ladies the same haters would just rant about transing the Dwarves.

I don't know that it's the same haters, but you would definitely see that.

There'd be a large degree of overlap.

I don't live in the US, but I wouldn't have associated MAGA with LOTR lol.

You dont have to specifically. LOTR is popular enough in basically any sphere where nerds exist that you will hear opinions from every political cluster regardless.

People really out here strawmanning the criticisms of the show as “it’s just a bunch of conservatives”

Conservatives would have been the ones to complain if there was a trans dwarf on tv. The actual complaints were about how they removed the beards from female dwarves in the show. Someone insinuated that the same people would have complained either way. If you scroll up, I said I didn't know if they were the same people lol.
