How is it controversial? You really expect me to believe mike Tyson cares if people on an internet forum talk about whether or not he can kill Chuck Norris?

it's just a gruesome topic, especially considering that a good chunk of our users are underage.

Most of the people that are into VS debates are either teens or 400 lb 30 year olds that live in their dad's basement eating Doritos anyhow

I mean either way we're discussing people killing other people, and either way it's a fictional debate so I really don't think it matters. It's not like someone is gonna kidnap two real people and make them fight to the death.

I'm pretty sure that most 13 year olds can handle debating over which fictional character can kill the other

Ok, anyways I'm kinda netural regarding allowing real people as profile pages

I was under the impression this is what OP did... basically always? I'm speaking his language. I'll respond to Smoke's points in a 'mo.

As for y'all who want to use Mike Tyson for a VS Debate

what were your actual points? all i've seen is "we're not debating the killing of real world people" (which i never proposed and actually took measures to prevent) and "even match-banned profiles provide the implication that we have considered how easy it is to kill this person" (which i did respond to).
- 1,144

Also those arguments are pretty flimsy imo. These are fictional debates and having real people doesn't equate to us saying "hey insert person here should totally kill insert other person here" this is literally the violence in video games argument and I really don't see why people are acting so puritan about this.

Sorry for my ignorance, but why is this so much controversial? Sure the idea of arguing how certain living individual would die in a match sounds really weird in paper, but is a fictional match that will never happen, and people in those types of debates don't have the strange "intent" of discussing how gruesomely someone will die or whatever moral implication is being referenced, just how they would fair on a hypothetical fight.
And what are those political troubles?

Cmon man... please don't die on this hill. Never once saw him speak like that, and you seem to know that it's not right to speak like it. This is no excuse for being disrespectful out of spite for BigSmoke previous actions.

I think the concern is that real world individuals might take up legal action against the wiki which, again I doubt they care, and also by that logic we already risk the creators/owners of these franchises taking legal action so what's the difference.

uhh, no? we'd have to look through their durability feats, that's hardly the same thing as debating what it would take to kill the person

yeah, but we should make sure they're allowed in the first place before we consider lifting the matchban.

it's fine. we shouldn't derail the thread over this.

Fair enough. Even so worrying about legal ramifications or moral issues with giving a real person physical limits is silly so I honestly don't see why they shouldn't be allowed.

"Even match-banned profiles provide the implication that, hm, yes, we have considered how easy it is to kill this person. As I said, leave that shit on Discord. Your cringe/meme/funny haha profiles are a different horse entirely when compared to folks who were or, since we're using Mike Tyson as the example, still ******* are breathing."
This was all written immediately after the three bits you did in fact respond to. Even this ignores the issues brought up in the last thread of legality.
I hope y'all understand. No real world people profiles.

i replied to the first sentence of this. the rest of it didn't seem to be worth responding to, since it seems to be a conclusion rather than a point.
do you really think mike tyson's gonna sue us for having a profile that uses his physical characteristics as a benchmark for peak human strength? because that sounds pretty silly.
i don't

First off... I guess that means you don't really have a counterargument, then. Given you solely responded to my non-points about how this thread was meh in its creation and thus I should respond to the overall topic rather than just the ideas of this thread specifically.
I don't know. I do know that Mike Tyson ain't the only person who would get a profile for this.
Since there's still no arguments in favor, I'm closin' this. No real-world human profiles.
