The origins of the theory can be traced back to the 2011 Brazilian blog Avril Está Morta (“Avril Is Dead”)

Uh uh… quite the source.

If the claim is that someone made this theory in 2011, then yes, that’s a perfectly good source. The whole theory is of course bonkers, but nowhere is it claimed that there is a shed of evidence supporting it, just that the theory exists.

I mean even the blog itself was made up, as stated in the Wikipedia article.

If the theory is wrong, WHY WON’T SHE SUBMIT TO A DNA TEST? WHAT IS SHE HIDING?
