In the Lord of the Rings fandom there’s a persistent debate whether balrogs, or Durin’s Bane specifically, have wings. The text in Fellowship is ambiguous whether what it is describing are literal wings or something else wing-like.

What the fuck is wrong with Samoa? Like, I can speculate but my speculations are unkind. I don’t want to go there.
It has the same size population as Sioux Falls, South Dakota. Weird stuff happens on islands.
my dude, that’s a thought stopping phrase. weird shit happens everywhere. there’s this toilet in boston
Ok, it’s probably your racist thing then. Happy?
racist thing?
I don’t know if I’d go so far as to say “racist,” but I can see how someone might think you sound xenophobic. If I didn’t enjoy interacting with your posts so often, I could see how someone would see your tone as trying to “other” and shame an entire culture. But I know that’s usually not where you’re coming from.
What were the “unkind speculations” you wanted to hint at but not articulate?
you’re doing the antisemite thing again starik.
Ok, sorry. Now what were your “unkind speculations” about Samoa?
sorry, i see that i did a racism. i just felt like winding you up a little bit before copping to it.
there’s a religion that claims a large portion of samoa belongs to it. i’ve had bad experiences with that religion. i don’t want to open that can of worms but this kind tax fraud type behavior is like, average behavior for the religion (to the point that they had to make it part of sermons that they “don’t believe in tax fraud” even though they have (or had) secret religious ceremonies swearing vengeance against the US government like i said can of worms. cults are fun to study but less fun to be in).
my bigotries are a little less about race and a little more about who has stabbed me in the back.
