Is it weird to have really strong negative feelings about something imaginary? |

Mrs. Arbusto dislikes/borderline hates the dwarves from the Lord of the Rings books. Says they're "hairy, disgusting, and piggish".
All true, but they're also tough, cunning and honorable.
They're also completely imaginary, so harboring disliking for them is.... well, silly.

4. Nah, they clean up after themselves. |
|
And they don't get drunk as much as the dwarves do.

5. I liked Tolkien's Dwarves immensely. |
|
They were almost a parody of the worst, and best of human traits.
Suspicious of strangers, but once you gained their trust, they were fierce allies to the very end.
And absolutely fearless.

8. Those were my thoughts. |
|
And my thoughts are usually shallow ones, so that was something notable.
