#Debates

I have found, via inspection, that the votes on who won a debate is way too subjective. Some votes do not reflect the contents of the debate. I saw one where the debater who used many sources was awarded NO points when the debater  with NO sources was awarded points for "better sources" (?). It seems  wrong.

So with people looking at old debates for the HoF, this seems like a good time to compile a larger must read list for different categories and subjects.

This would ideally serve to help people researching whatever topics in future. They would not exclusively need to be HoF worthy.

Of course there are broad categories, but also sub-categories therein (which can be expanded out as the list grows).

Depending on the size of the list, the format will probably change.

I get to negotiate description and settings.

No shit like making me support pedophilia or racism.

I have no-gos and will not take a suicide topic.

You are free to make it unrated, I have no say in that.

The deal is your 4 votes are there at the end. If you do not have a valid vote on one of the 4 by the end, your count is deducted.

I will be debating often enough that 4 is attainable again and again.

The number can be docked to 3 or even 2 during myself and the site's less busy periods.

There are no strings attached, you pick the side and the topic.

The credit is permanent or until I truly quit (or am incapacitated, extremely stressed irl etc). 4 votes, from 3 days before this on my debates and I debate you on almost anything, rated or unrated.

4 equals 1, rap battles and such are not guaranteed for me to accept, I am refining and climbing debating now.

I was completely illegitinately robbed of several free wins by Bsh1 because Ramshutu cried about me getting them from an alt of Type1.

This also led to a crackpot conspiracy theory later that me, the guy who kept telling the mods who Type1 was on his alts despite they and Ramshutu doubting and ridiculing me as they doubted it was Type1 the entire time, was actually in cohorts with him.

I had easily 7 if not more wins robbed from me.

Right now Novice is getting 12 or so free wins from Mall, whose elo is elevated because Wylted gave him a wrong win by a troll vote on a mutual FF where he gave Mall a win.

How the fuck is that better just because Mall is not a banned user, they are all letting Novice pick the debate topic and sides too?

I have no ideas for debates, but everyone else seems to have a lot. Any original ideas? I'm willing to debate pretty much anything. 

I have begun to realise that a niche of debates I am much more interested in that I first assumed and good at doing, are discussions of characters and such in fictional shows/series/movie-franchises.

It is very important that your offered debate topics inside this thread do not directly spoil something, if they do, please put in very clear formatted test 'SPOILER ALERT' above it.

This is primarily for offering series and general characters or scenes (that you hint at) and for people to DM/PM each other about it, or even directly challenge. This can be moved to TV or whatever section when the mods want but I am putting this in the DART section because I want people to see it and that subforum is barely viewed at all.
