Just changing some of the dwarves (some of whom don'T even have a lt of lines in the book, if at all) into female dwarves and just run with it instead of making a big deal out of it would have changed the plot less than the Tauriel thing did AND it would have been a better case of representation. Having female dwarves kicking ass alongside the male dwarves without anyone making a big deal out of it would have been much better than the same old tired "super special kickass lady who turns into love interest" trope they used.

If they had done that, the movies would have been getting at least as much shit for not pointing out that the dwarves were female, I think.

I don't know. I think it's a fundamental difference of opinion here. Because for me, representation is hugely important in the aggregate, both in terms of equality and just in terms of, you know, quality. But I don't believe that has to apply to every individual work. If they had made a version of The Hobbit that had no female representation at all, that wouldn't have bothered me in the slightest. Some things just are that way. And after all, if something with no female characters is worth adapting in the first place...
