Discussions I hate the EAH switched at birth theory
So for those unaware, this theory says that Apple and Raven are switched at birth, which explains why Apple is mean and Raven is nice and why Apple doesn't have black hair.
This theory just really really misses the point of the show. One of the biggest points of the story is "no you're not like your parents/ ancestors, you can choose your own destiny" and this theory is going "nah actually you're just like your parents lol" I-??? How are people actually believing in this theory.
Also Apple not having black hair is possible AND an important part if her character, blonde is a recessive gene so its possible with her mom's hair AND it's a major insecurity of Apple because it means she's not a perfect snow white, are we really throwing that away for a "nah she's actually just evil lol" Come on!
Also the kids and their parents not looking alike that much really doesn't say that much, none of the Charming siblings look related! I genuinely cannot fathom how there are people who believe in this theory. It's silly and misses so much of the messaging and characterisation for a "See? it all makes sense now!" (It doesn't.)
