Pineapple On Pizza: Delicious or Disgraceful?
Kidding XD
I don't know, I personally think more lighthearted topics would be nice to have discussions on, but I think it'd have to be topics that people have experiences or insight to share about. So probably not something food related like tomatoes or pizza because there's very little else to say other than each person's subjective opinion of "i love it" "I hate it" or "I'm indifferent. But everyone's favorite genre to read and what specifically they like about it and their favorite books on the subject sounds fantastic! Or like Moni said, whether fanfic is good or 'legitimate literature'? (though let's be honest, this is a forum based on a fanfic newspaper, are any of us gonna say it isn't? XD But we can all share our reasons why we believe IT IS) Anyway, those sound like good topics to me!

Ooh, those sound like good topics as well, Twillie! I find Cancel culture particularly interesting because I feel like it's the natural reaction to putting people on Pedestals. For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction, you know? But I won't say more about it here, so I can save it for D&D in case you do create a thread there! ... Oh no I read D&D as Dungeons and Dragons instead of Discussions and Debates now. XD

I like the fanfic topic as well! I think it's something that relates closely to a lot of people here. And yeah, that makes sense Ginz! To an extent, having that strong a reaction to cut someone down stems from having strong feelings about them already, which I think is also combined with general internet mob mentality and the safety of anonymity. But haha yeah, I might make that a topic some time! (or anyone else is free to grab it and make something first, if they'd like ;3)
Loool yeah I always think about that when I shorten the board to D&D; I'm waiting for the time when someone replies "Wait, we have a Dungeons and Dragons board now??"

I've been wanting a new thing in Discussions and Debate for a looong time. xD
Anyway, I think lighter topics are allowed. Though I dunno about the tomatoes one; since those answers are pretty easy and not necessarily debatable, that could be a better thread in off topic.
That said, there are lots of lighter ones that could be done. Effects of genres, fanfiction, the whole Pineapple on Pizza debacle, etc.
I would love a thread on cancel culture. I have so many words about that. xD (Assuming my anxiety doesn't take over.)
And yeaah, I can't use shortform anymore. xD *Brainstorms.* ...Hmm, I. Thought of an inappropriate alternate shortform? xDD Di&De? ...Um. I got nothing. xD

Get out of here with your pro-wizard propaganda, Moni! Studying for years like a total NERD just so you can throw fire out of your hands?? Sorcerers can do that by sheer virtue of being born AWESOME. =P

*shuffles in like... 5 years late to the party* So according to the new board inscriptions, this is where everyone hangs out. But uh... I have no idea what in the world I'm doing. So I'm a just gonna' hang out in the corner here and observe, and pretend I know what's going on. *nods*

She in high school? Congrats! I will send her textbooks* and other things bloiders send the imaginary children of their fellows. (*actually just hundreds of fanfics, because everyone knows that's all you REALLY need to get through high school!) (My friend got consistently high grades in creative writing with disguised Doctor Who and Les Miserables fanfic.)

Hm, I might just make a reading genre discussion thread, then. I encourage others to act on their ideas, too.
And for the record, I find tomatoes gross, so I always give mine to my mom, who loves them.

That sounds great June! =D I think we have a book discussion group somewhere already, but if it's specifically genres, should be fine to have both!
EDIT: Hmm. No, that seems to have disappeared. 0o
EDIT 2: nvm I was thinking of 'book recs' in Off Topic.

Might as well give her those textbooks though; never too early to start studying!

Of course! I have so many genetics and archaeology textbooks I'll never use again...a philosophy one somewhere...maybe an ancient history book too...

That makes me think about how some of my characters would be legal adults now, if they were born when I created them.
I feel so ooold. *hair immediately greys, cane appears in hand*

But I mean, I'll support any magical user =D They're all great!
