FYI my team partner is female and the winning team consisted of two females too so......
So. Today I had a day-long debate tourney. We were doing great and winning every round. Once we made it to finals we figured out that we were facing one of the other teams from our school. I honestly don't know how they made it to final, they must've been extremely lucky because they suck. Anyways, my partner and I were all like ¨YAY¨ because we thought that we were going to have an easy win. We were going through the round and we were doing very well. The other team dropped both of our T arguments and all four of our DAs(for the DAs we did racial, terrorism, crime, and blackout). So the round ended and it was time for the judge to decide who won. We thought that we were going to win obviously. The only impact they had was dehumanization and even that was weak. But then, lo and behold, the judge announces that she personally thinks that a little bit of dehumanization outweighs terrorism, crime, genocide, and America plunging into chaos and anarchy. And that ladies and gentlemen, is how we got fucking second place. Fuck biased judges.
