Bullshit---that fact that idiots and assholes misquote and miss-characterize a work of literature has nothing to do with the literature. Your assumption that it does is right in there with their misuse. Now if this was meant in jest, your hints as to such use are really hard to see---use darker ink next time...
LotR was very much pop culture for a few years. Not quite so much these days but honestly if these people know the month much less the year it currently is without it being written in front of them I'd be impressed.

Tolkien is officially no longer cool. When stuffed up pretentious windbags are using his works to insult each other it's time to move on.
So with Tolkien done and Superheros on the way out what's next?

I shall use that darker ink next time. It was supposed to be a comment about old people trying to be cool by using things from pop culture.
