https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BattleboardingBattleboarding, also known as Versus Debating, is an online activity where netizens discuss and debate around hypothetical fights between individuals, most popularly, fictional characters. These debates are often held in forums, blogs, sites and wikis, known as versus sites or battle boards. Users who engage in battleboarding online are often called "battleboarders".
The earliest iterations of battleboarding first appeared in various online boards and forums, though its origins can be traced back to magazine pages, television shows, and comic book letter columns. Eventually, the online activity grew, becoming one of the most popular internet activity today, and spawning many online communities dedicated solely for battleboarding. It soon evolved into its own subculture, and even went on to inspire other media.
I ask this question because when you think about it, debating which fictional characters would win in a fight is basically the same thing as discussing which politicians would win an election.
