It interprets Tolkien’s text as if it was written from the point of view of the victors (which happen to be the Elves, Gandalf, and Aragorn).
This explanation from the alternative version’s author is great!

Funnilly enough, you had a similar experience to mine. I was rewatching the movies recently and I felt uncomfortable with the whole black and white and races stuff.
I commented it to my boyfriend. I thought it’d be funny to laud Sauron’s technical and logistical prowess. I then made a bet: I could find Sauron fans online. Someone must have disliked the black and white part and must have made an argument in favor of Sauron.
I didn’t have to search long to find the reinterpretation I posted here.
