Celebrimbor and Galadriel have an interaction *ON SCREEN* about the similarities of their interactions by Sauron. How they both weren't strong enough. How they are both fighting him in the wrong way. How their feelings parallel each other. This is not extra-textual authorial words. This is on screen. In a pivotal moment for those characters to have this realization.

I beg you to stop erasing the importance of Celebrimbor to the narrative because you imagine people are trying to erase Galadriel and put her in the kitchen. That isn't gonna happen -- the authors of this story clearly love her, she is gonna be an important character in all 5 season -- even if she isn't interacting with sauron. It frankly feels homophobic at this point the insistence that no m/m relationships (whether you read it as platonic or sexual) shown on screen could have the same emotional weight as the m/f one (whether you see it as platonic or sexual).

Romantic M/F relationships are not the only ones that are important and significant and are not what makes female characters relevant or interesting. I feel so many of the canon ship wars about Galadriel revolve around this feeling. It's not the feminist take you think it is.
