Fan Theory

A theory that, in UnTrash's catch-all definition, often attempts to discover a hidden meaning or possibility in a franchise based on its characters, their personalities, real-life similarities, or events that take place in that franchise. Many Cartoon Theories either try to find a dark side to a kid-friendly franchise or claim that the adventures of the characters are not real. People opposed to these theories make counterclaims that remind the theorists about Rule 17 and how whatever happens in the franchise is what's truly happening as anything could happen in the realm of fiction.
