It's like this: You know the excerpt from Beethoven's 5th? ("Duh Duh Duh DUH!!!")? Well, if you make the Little "Duhs" into "Dits" and the Big "DUH" into a "Daw", it is morse code for "V", and during Project Chanology, Anonymous wore V masks.

Is this even necessary? This seems like an extension of Wild Mass Guessing? It implies the theory is particularly stupid but I don't think it's necessary to differentiate that- particularly when a lot of theories that are going to be labelled as such are probably jokes.

I get the intent of the trope, but the name just doesn't work very well. It gives no feeling of what the purpose of the trope is.

I know it's been two years, but yeah, I agree. The name doesn't work.
I propose: "Fan Theory Fuel"
I am concerned that this title furthers a trend of considering seizures and epilepsy a joke, such as referring to someone who dances badly as epileptic. Many of those who have epilepsy find this offensive.
While some people with certain forms of epilepsy can have convulsions, the same could be said of those who have heart disease or diabetes. Many people with epilepsy have other seizure types including episodes of staring or confusion. Around 1 in 26 Americans have epilepsy, and 50,000 Americans die of epilepsy each year (which is larger than the number who die of breast cancer). The Institute of Medicine issued a report suggesting we strike the word "epileptic" from our language to help reduce stigma and improve understanding of epilepsy.
This is so not the place to soapboxing.

Just FYI that MST 3 K did the "epileptic trees" joke in the episode Time of the Apes, originally broadcast in 1991. Although it wasn't a conspiracy theory, it was just a trap set in the forest making the bush shake.
(girl sees shaking bush) Servo: "The tree's having a seizure!"
Why is there a "don't list this on a work's page as a trope" template on the page, yet the only instances of the trope showing up EVER are on the pages of individual works and the Epileptic Trees page is empty of examples?
I don't get this page. can somone tray explaining it better?
