Is OTHER wrong in the post ? POST : i’m a huge elder scrolls (TES) fan, and i sit in class next to a huge lord of the rings fan (LOTR) (who gets pissy btw when people don’t understand what he’s talking about) and i said that i honestly thought it was bad compared to TES. they claim that we only have fantasy because of Tolkien, who made everything up, which is slightly fair to say even though LOTR lore is highly based off real world fairy tails and mythes. it’s a bold claim to assert something is completely original. I was asserting that TES took way more liberties to make something more interesting. i’m now being yelled at by three people over this, who claim that i need to respect Tolkien and how i can’t get so defensive when i’m being ‘called out’ like, as if i’m saying something worth actual offense.  so was it that bad, what i said? i can’t help feeling like i was ganged up on, and that i can’t say anything lately without being dog piled.
