For starters, there is a disclaimer about fanfiction on this site.

Let's say you "speculate" that humans don't need oxygen to breathe. Fair enough. When doctors, biologists and every piece of medical data refutes your theory then it is beyond pointless to debate your side any further and to do so is no longer just speculation but rather your attempt to defend a position that is indefensible.

This site may have a forum labeled "False info & speculation", but there is an expectation that any speculation is intellectually debated. It's what separates mature discussions from kindergarten arguments that amount to just saying, "Nuh-uh! Boys/girls do have cooties!"

Have a wild theory? Present it. But if & when the theory is based on false presumptions or is discredited by the actual canon then either find evidence to back your claim, peddle your fanon elsewhere or present a new theory.

You've presented ideas that the canon simply disproves yet you refuse to acknowledge it.

For example: you or someone else debated how the Beast's teenage self allows for shoes to "transform" despite us being told & knowing that the Beast is a shadow that encases the teen. The teen doesn't undergo any transformation. Yet the theory was still debated that it must "transform".

My point is that speculation is fine but pointless if there isn't evidence to back it up and none of us want to be constantly bombarded with insane theories that have absolutely no truth to them at all.
