I agree with a lot of what you say, but your last line is ridiculous. Everyone in LotR was armed to the teeth, and that was no hindrance to expressing their feelings for one another.
Pretty sure the goodly people like humans, elves, dwarves, and Hobbits didn’t mow down their own kids with crossbows on a regular basis like we do with our guns.
During war also. Unless you were under the assumption there weren’t killings and shit outside of war during medieval times or something.
there are modern countries in the world today where children are not regularly shot to death in school.
I’m not ignoring it at all. You just hadn’t added that caveat before. You were just talking about people using weapons to kill their kids which did regularly did happen swords and crossbows. It’s not like people have changed for the better.

Historically there’s been a shitload of children slaughtered with swords and arrows.
During war. Really reaching aren’t we.
And completely ignoring the fact there are modern countries in the world today where children are not regularly shot to death in school.

Well yeah it was a war. Everyone was armed to the teeth because war. Except in the shire where nobody was armed because peaceful land of homes.
