Doesn't sound like targeting non-aggressive travelers.
- s1artibartfast 3y agoThat quote isn't a self-contained description of the entire Tolkien universe, and pointing back to it isn't a rebuttal of additional information. You may have made some assumptions based on it, but those assumptions were wrong. Furthermore, "preventing expansion" does not necessarily imply morally acceptable self defense.
- soperj 3y agoI don't see any additional information, only your opinion on the subject.
- s1artibartfast 3y agoI didn't present any personal opinions, just additional facts and context from the books. If you want to ignore it and latch onto some misguided moral relativist notion about the spiders being good an defensive, fine. However, the books and author literally says the opposite. The spiders are Tolkien equivalent of demon spawn, have invaded the forest, and now pretty on travelers.
- soperj 3y ago> the books and author literally says the opposite Should be easy to find a quote then.
- s1artibartfast 3y agoIm not interested in finding a citation for you to prove a point. You cam take it for what it is, look it up, or not.
