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.

I still play a little old school Doom and earlier this year the creator of one of the main engines people use (GZDoom) got some flak for using some AI in his coding, causing a lot of people to switch over to a fork (UZDoom).
I don’t miss many things about the old site but the niche communities are one of them. If anyone wants to dive into years of minutiae covering everything from big drama to slap fights you should check out

Man the doom community is some venomous shit in some places.
Brutal doom and its spin-offs => instant drama and apologetics for shitty behaviour.
Engines (see comment above)
Old Doom vs newer doom games.
Mapping/modding.
There’s always some asshole being the worst about peanuts.
I must’ve missed this
Well I say Peanuts…honest mistake. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Ah yeah, that makes more sense. I didn’t know people had any opinions about Nuts at all these days. It’s pretty unremarkable except that it was one of the first giant quasi slaughter maps. Well, that and the fact that you have to run in circles for literal days to collect enough revenant rockets if you want to get 100% kills.

Hobbydrama was one of my favorite communities
I used to read it in bed as a way of falling asleep. Usually just enough drama to not be like reading the dictionary and petty enough to not get me worked up.
