Nice, succinct piece of reading books with your arse instead of your eyes.

Did Thingol confront Noldor about Alqualonde? Yes, and we have him confronting them right there on page. Expecting him to leave Doriath and go directly to the perpetrators is honestly weird.

Did Thingol deny Noldor asylum? No, he did not. On the contrary, those seeking asylum were cited as ones who are explicitly allowed into Doriath.

Feanorian fandom constantly downplays the Kinslayings and forgets that those were unprecedented, borderline unimaginable evils. That Thingol continued any contact with Noldor at all was a sign of his deep benevolence.

But yeah, let's put the onus on anyone but those who commited the crime.
