  • This house prefers a world in which individuals gain access to the Dreamscape for one month if they are handed a Coke with their name on it.

    Infoslide

    'Share a Coke' has been a multi-national marketing campaign by Coca-Cola since 2011. It replaces the traditional Coke logo from one side of the bottle with the phrase "Share a Coke with" followed by a person's name. For the purposes of this debate, individuals cannot order these Coke bottles online; the bottles can only be found by accident during an unrelated shopping trip. (2/2) The Dreamscape is a finicky new invention that has the capacity to bring any and all sentient beings from an individual’s dreams into reality. Individuals do not get to choose which beings from their dreams are manifested — they only get to choose to use the machine. These beings only survive as long as the individual has access to the Dreamscape. Once created, these beings retain their physical characteristics & supernatural powers, should they possess any. For example, if someone dreams of a strong giant, this giant will retain its size and strength upon entering reality. Most of the time, these beings will pursue socially good objectives, albeit imperfectly — e.g., a giant may be unnecessarily destructive; a shaman may accidentally turn water into wine, etc. Some of the time, these beings will pursue socially bad objectives.

  • This house believes that Drag Race Philippines should abandon the versus-the-world format and instead exclusively cast Filipino drag performers for an all-stars format

    Infoslide

    Drag Race is an international franchise which features drag performers who compete to win. For the non-regular "All-Stars" season, producers have the option to exclusively cast returning drag performers who previously competed in the same local franchise (e.g., Drag Race Espana) or adopt a versus-the- world format which would cast drag performers from different international franchises who largely represent their own home franchises (e.g., Drag Race UK versus the World, Drag Race Philippines Slaysian Royale).

  • This house, as Nezuko, would not kill Tanjiro

    Infoslide

    Muzan, the demon king, uses his blood and active consciousness to create demons. To combat Muzan, the Demon Slayer Corps was created with the single duty of eliminating all demons. Tanjiro, a member of the Demon Slayer Corps, discovers that his sister, Nezuko, has become a demon but decides to save her since since she has retained her human consciousness. In the end, Nezuko, through immense willpower and aided by the human transformation drug of Tamayo, a doctor, is successfully able to regain her full humanity. On the other hand, Tanjiro was successfully able to defeat Muzan but now is near-dead from the injuries he sustained. However, in an alternate universe with a tragic twist of fate, Muzan, in his dying moments, successfully transfers his blood and consciousness to Tanjiro. While Tanjiro has now become a sun- resistant demon, Muzan's active consciousness controls Tanjiro. Muzan now uses Tanjiro's body to spread his blood and create more sun-resistant demons. However, Muzan discovers that Tanjiro would experience lucid intervals when Tanjiro is near his sister, allowing Tanjiro to temporarily regain his consciousness. Nezuko knows that the only way to stop Muzan is to suppress his active consciousness during a lucid interval and kill his brother.

  • This house believes that the democratisation of artistic media creation has been good for consumers

    Infoslide

    "The democratisation of artistic media creation refers to the growing ability of the general public to create and distribute media for wide consumption. Contributing factors include: 1\. The reduced cost and increased availability of creative tools such as cameras, microphones, and editing software. 2\. The rise of free-to-use or low-cost distribution platforms (e.g. YouTube, TikTok, SoundCloud, Patreon). 3\. Increased access to global audiences through digital networks and social media."
