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.

In the Deltarune fandom, there’s a fairly heated debate on whether the character Ralsei (depicted as a feminine male in game) will end up coming out as transgender or not
Both sides feel it’s the most natural route for the story, both sides have evidence in their favour and both sides feel the other would ruin the story
A recent merch ad depicted a female Ralsei and it caused a bit of revival in the discussion (despite ads not being canon)
Wow of all the Deltarune discourse there is I didn’t expect transgender Ralsei to be in this thread lol.
For a bonus fact about the game, there’s a character whose identity has been deliberately hidden since the start and the fan base is rabidly debating on who they really are. One man’s evidence is another’s proof it can’t be them, and anyone who disagrees is stupid.
It gets exhausting sometimes.
I love that game (so far) but haven’t had much to do with the fandom. It’s the type of property that has what become “comfort characters” for large numbers of people, and their conceptions of what these characters are like become really important to some, so I can easily imagine heated disputes.
I never thought “you know, Ralsei might be transgender,” but it wouldn’t blow my mind. I’m not sure he’s said anything so far that indicates that he’s preoccupied with gender much. (I’m saying “he” because I’m pretty sure the game does, while consistently using “they” for Kris.) But there are still a few chapters to go!
