I agree with you but also I wonder if someone who just wanders onto this website knows what a "debatelord" is lol. We are so steeped in our own lingo

Yeah someone also used "natopedia" lol, we need to do some self-crit about being normal online (when appropriate)

I feel like debatelord is pretty self-evident, but there's other ones like smuglord where I agree. Gonna change it to debatebro though

Idk if this is correct but I think of smuglord as having come from the emoji title, which is one of the best on the site. I mean, what's more accurate than smuglord ?

"Debatebro" is used pretty commonly outside of here. I think "debatelord" is close enough most people will get it.
