So? It's not like women are flies or handicapped. Women have brains, muscles, and the like. They are people who are perfectly capable of fighting and such like men do. Also keep in mind that the Witch-King was just stabbed in the knee by a stealthy hobbit with a blade made to basically zap the Witch-Kings's powers and kill him. In the book, Eowyn didn't spend time taking off her helmet and whatnot, so she was quick to strike and in the movie WiKi was basically made a vegetable after the stab. I don't think that, say, Aragorn would have come out of that situation alive.

I apologize Diamond, it is just that I have seen many things such as "he has bad teeth!" or "She's Christian!" and such effect the judgement of others in real life and exclude and cause problems for kind individuals, many of whom I know. Your claim on why to send off the Witch-King just brought up old memories and that made me angry.The "racist" statement was meant to be more of a "that doesn't matter here" or "just because of this?" thing, like a gay man in the army or Jerry's girlfriend having "man hands" on Seinfeild.

"He's evil" also didn't sound like a solid reason to me. I mean, on mordor fansites you don't really see Aragorn or Gandalf voted out of games like these because their good or a ranger/maia, do you? "He's evil" also sounds more like a secondary detail in matters like these, ex: "Gandalf's a maia."

Once again, sorry.

(Since this doesn't seem to have a basic setting, I thought it was like the island used for the LOTR and Hobbit survivor.)
