I feel like it's a bit pointless

I just legitimately don't get it.

I'll take your point under advisement, and I do see it, but I don't want to continue this conversation. Thank you though for elaborating though. I do, however, still stand by the fact that it is a fictional magical being and applying real world feathers of birds to this doesn't make sense. To a bird? Yes. To a creature that does not exist and has had wings described in a variety of ways? No. At that point I do feel like it is completely pedantic to try and nail a specific explanation of how something cannot work to something that doesn't exist and has had numerous iterations.

But I wasn't being antagonistic and I'm not in the mood to deal with this level of unnecessary hostility over a set of fictional wings. Have a good day.

I wasn't being antagonistic

Then don't call people weirdly pedantic when they've explained it was based on personal experience? How else do you expect me to respond to that? Lol

I didn't.

Feel like comparing them to birds is just weirdly pedantic.

I said that applying the logic of a birds wings to a non-existent magical creature taking off a shirt and dismissing it out of hand entirely based off of that singular comparison alone is weirdly pedantic. I never said you were.

You're just looking for a fight at this point and I've got no interest in it. Just blocking you and moving on. Have a good day.
