I can understand most of those, but beastiality and evilness? Where do they get that?!
I also can't understand where they get the homosexuality. Unless people are enough of prudes to actually take the "Shire? GAY?! But that will lead them to Sam's house!" jokes that are so often referred to, there are no homosexual or bisexual characters in LotR (and besides- what's wrong with it?!). Is it just me, or does anyone see a frightening return of Puritan ideals in society, judging by what is being said about the Lord the Rings...?
