The Out of Universe WMG's have "gems" like Balin Being a Zionist and stuff like that. A look at the Archived Disscussion (not the present disscussion, which is on another format) also reveals that someone wanted to put in the classic "Tolkien was a White Supremacist" guess (Check the Wikipedia page for his actual views regarding race).

That said, I made the post when I was angry and wasn't thinking clearly, and now that I've vented my self, I think that I'm going to leave this thread alone.

But I hated the 'Zionist Dwarves' guess, for reasons that I already elaborated on. The fact that such a person can lurk in the WMG page made me suspect all political WMG entries. However, I acknowledge that I was overreacting and that I needed to be set straight. Sorry.

So, are you intrested in some ligther subject fare?

... It's just that even on Tv.Tropes, it's hard to tell if one is hust being funny or has a chip against the original work on his shoulder, particularly when the arguements get rabid. And they do get rabid. I remember a dispute on the Ron the Death Eater page where my opponent frequently punctuated his arguements with allcaps. I ended up conceding. I think that was probably what soured my opinion of the site as a whole, even though I still frequented it and even created an account under a different name.

Anyway, sorry for being immature. Can we find something else to talk about?

As I said, it's insulting and insensitive to both sides of the conflict, and ignores all that Tolkien said about allegory.

That said, it's time to concede. I've vented my anger and recived useful advice.

What fandom was THAT? 0.o

...but that's just me. And part of what makes me angry is that even though the Page specifically says Wild Mass Guessing, the tone of most of those posts, especially the "LOTR is a Deconstruction like The Iron Dream" one, leaks so much spite and self-rigtheousness that I'm unable to see it as humor.

There's also the "Balin was a Zionist" guess, which is Canon Defilement, pure and simple. Considering how charged the issue is (I won't elaborate), such accusations, meant in fun or not, are insulting to both sides of the conflict.

The WMG's that made sense, yeah I liked them. I forgot that they also made up a significant part of the page. I liked the ones about the "Orcs being reanimated corpses" and the "One of Aragorn's descendants flubbed up and the Easterlings invaded the West and became the Indo-European anscestors of most of Europe". I guess that I was tarring the whole because of the actions of a few.

Sorry about that. I still have some growing up to do. Thanks for reading my post. It means a lot, you know?

The continued existence of the offense just burns a hole through my mind, and ignoring it felt like an insult to the malinged party. Yeah, it's unhealthy, but I just can't help myself despite the consequences. Sorry.

That said, I will try to do as you say from now on.
