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.

    Someone I went to school with came out as a furry and got heavily involved in the fandom, to the point of helping to organize one of the biggest furry conventions in Europe, but he insisted it wasn’t a sexual or fetish thing.

    About five years later, he’s founded a company that makes high quality dragon, werewolf and other bestial dildos.

      Lol. Doesn’t surprise me going from “it’s not sexual” to making those products. I’ve gone down a similar rabbit hole, but instead I just consume pretty vanilla yiff art. Major departure from who I was even a few years back.
