of the article is that *Bond* is male, and always will be. We have multiple quotes in the article with her saying that very specifically - referring to the character of Bond, not the codename 007. In fact, the article points out that 007 will indeed be passed to a female character. A black female, in fact. Probably a lesbian. Gotta make sure they check all the social justice boxes, yeah?

To your second point, it's funny to think of the hobbits as little squashes, but you and I both know that in reality you really wouldn't watch that. It would be worth about 30 seconds of amusement, and that's it. And you and most every other LOTR fan would be much more annoyed and upset than accepting of an absurd change like, fictional character or not.

Lastly, you are being a little over-dramatic, yeah? Nobody claimed that the world would end with female Ghostbusters, or that you would die if you didn't enjoy The Hobbit.

Fans are voicing what they want to see in a movie series that is important to them, that's it. It seems that you are the only person making a bigger deal out of it than that.
