Honestly, who gives a shit?
This is a ridiculous flogged to death hobby horse some Americans insist on sticking to. Clinton had bad taste in women? So fucking what? That's completely and utterly irrelevant to literally anything at all other than keeping up juvenile kindergarten level "Clinton is a poohead"-rhetoric that mostly just tells how the complainer doesn't know when to give up when they have no actual criticism left.

Hugo Weaving and Liv Tyler are just bad - the films in general just cannot do elves
Liv Tyler / Arwen simply shouldn't have been featured in the films beyond perhaps one short scene in Rivendell and another at the end. Expanding that role was a prominent example of how the film series was completely needlessly hollywoodized.

My issue with the Hobbit trilogy is that it is abundantly clear that the studio wanted more LotR movies but the Hobbit is a very different work from Lord of the Rings in both tone and content.
Much of the WTF-ness of the Hobbit trilogy is explained by Del Toro noping out less than a year before the shooting started with the result that Jackson didn't have the preproduction or script finalized by the start date and the problems only got worse for the second and third installments with Jackson essentially having to go "Fuck this, let's just shoot something and hope we can edit it to something coherent".
You're just really unlucky or surrounded by autists in a particularly woke environment.
I've worked in tech for the last 30 years and personally know of exactly one (1) trans person (and that's not via anything work related). She had obvious autistic tendencies (severe enough to prevent holding a steady job for very long) before transitioning.
