We should add fan theory debates. In these debates you use “evidence” from the stories, episodes, etc. I think they might be very interesting. Anyone else like the idea?

I'm not sure I understand but why don't you just set one up. I'm sure there will be takers.


And voila, you will have added fan theory debates.

Do you mean fantasy theory debates?

You mean like Reeta Skeeter is really J.K. Rowling, and the whole story is true? Or Syrio Forel is the same person as Jaqen H'ghar?

Or why Trump should be in Jail and not in the White House.

If you do get fan theory debates going, it's pretty clear the first one should be about Taylor Swift's Engagement...just because...and it should probably go in the Religion forum.

Some people 'do debate such,

I remember a recent one I read on DART whether Dorian Gray was irredeemable.


DART and DebateCraft have you type in the Topic.

I don't remember quite, but DDO might have had a list of categories you could select for what Topic the debate fit into.

Fantasy theory debates abound under the general heading of religion.



Like:


2025 years ago Godfrey the mad scientist cloned himself, using a daft couple named Joe and Mary as surrogate parents.

Those will be designated BTE (Before Taylor's Engagement), and all new fan debates will be designated TE.

I think everyone would agree that there should be a new forum category called Taylor Swift of course.

Why should Taylor Swift be debated. She is a very successful singer and performer.

Yeah, that would be why she has fans, and this thread is about having "fan theory debates".

Oh fan theories huh? That would be interesting. we could do a debate in Star Wars over if Palpatine Force-Banged™ Anakin's mother from another planet so she would become pregnant with Anakin. All part of his decades-long plan to be the Senate

I've never heard a Taylor Swift tune.


Though I have seen the character, and it's a tad too sickly looking for my taste.


Though for sure, it's marketed well and aimed at sycophants of a certain age, who's parents have enough disposable income to waste on their kids.


Enjoy.

I don't think I have either.

Not my type either, by about 50 years, my sons are older than her.

Yep, she definitely knows what she's doing, a billionaire at 34, not bad for a girl LOL.

Enjoy.

If I listened to Taylor Swift, I'd feel like I was cheating on Nora Jones,

It’s hard to keep up with what is trending at your age.

I didn't realise you were an OAP too.


Though technically I'm not an OAP until May 2026


And my daughters are older than Taylor Swift.


And I am more into prog rock, and modern manifestations thereof.


And I've heard of but never l listened to Norah Jones, so I will do so next time I peruse Youtube.


Though I have listened to her father and sister...Not that I'm a big fan of the sitar.



And for sure Debby, I have long since adopted the easier option and not bothered to keep up with what is trending.

I had to look up OAP, but yeah, I just retired in July and turned 70 this month. Still still wake up trying to think of something to do.

And my daughters are older than Taylor Swift.

I have also had the misfortune of listening to Dad and Sis, difference between a sitar and an onion, nobody cries when you chop up a sitar.

And for sure Debby, I have long since adopted the easier option and not bothered to keep up with what is trending.


Same here, for me the big news from the music world is Dylan went electric.
