I was at lunch the other day with my cousin at a restaurant when our conversation switched from school to books, particularly young adult novels.

News: It Somehow Got Worse. Rings of Power Race-swapped Annatar.
As you guys know, I'm very excited and very optomistic for Rings of Power Season 2. After all, the writers said that they would stick closer to the source material for Season 2.

News: Disney’s Newest Christmas Flick Includes a Race-Swapped Santa and Sexualized Minors.
As we know, Disney is no longer a kid-friendly brand, celebrating sexual dysfunction, abuse, and perversity during June, putting the same stuff into its shows and movies for toddlers, funding abortions for its employees, and the list goes on and on.
