RE: https://social.cordonnier.net/@alex/116894127306201594 Ironically, I just got a recruiting email to join Sauron (a surveillance tech company). I can’t even imagine telling people with a straight face that you work for Sauron. There’s no way they don’t know their company is named after the second most evil person in Tolkien’s works, so at minimum they don’t find that association problematic. Presumably they (or their target audience) seek global domination and want to feel like a lord of evil. Basically the fantasy equivalent of Satanists.
