I'm pretty leery of them as well because of the reasons you mentioned, but a few of the prompts they've allowed to remain are pretty interesting. The Glorfindel on I mentioned above was about him being FtM and pissed at the Valar for bringing him back in a female body. I like the asexuality representation that's going around (so far) but the absolute lack of discussion and haughty 'better than thou' attitude is annoying as hell.
I'd heard/read a lot of the info in it before as well, but the little details and the condensed style of it were what really got me interested. (Also the references, one of which made me go 'huh, I own that...somewhere', but some of which I'd never heard of.)
