Disney Princesses are Bad Role Models

At this point the debate is over. Pro has not upheld her BOP, nor did she cite any evidence or examples as for why her contentions are true. She just stated her thoughts without any evidence to support it. This is her bop to meet. RebuttalsPerspective. She is trying to use popular as a gauge for what is and is not acceptable. She is saying because some people could see them as good role models, others do not. If these others who do not see them as good role models make up the majority, they win. This is her essential premise behind this contention. Needless to say it is wrong. No where is it cited that"95" percent of people see these girls as bad role models and I do not believe that stat either. Hypothetically even if that number were true, she is committing an ad populum[logical fallacy] [1] Under this method we could justify the holocaust or any other situation like it. This is a very, very, faulty premise. My argument still stands. That just because she thinks they are bad role models, does not make it an objective fact. She has spent the entire debate asserting her opinion without any evidence to back it upTraitsShe concedes half of the points I made and says this is a matter of perspective. Again this goes back to perspective. She says stuff like" Strong will? That depends on how you look at it. "" Humility. Yes, this one I agree with, but I have another word for it: submissiveness. "She all but concedes these points. She has agreed to the fact that the princesses to have admirable traits and did not contest it much. This point goes to me. ImageThis entire point is dropped. I made the argument that she would have to show that striving to be skinny is bad or that there is something wrong with it. She would first have to show that making young girls want to look this way has a negative effect on them, before she could make this contention. She has failed to do this, and thus her entire contention just falls apart because of that. She just said people suffer from self esteem because of these princesses. This is a baseless assertion with no evidence to support. With America having the highest obesity rate in the known world, striving to be healthy and skinny is a good motive if anything [2]In addition to this just because a girl sees another girl, and they happen to have a good figure that is not the fault of the girl that has the good figure. It is called self esteem for a reason. It is esteem of your freaking self. If you have image issues and don't like the way you look, go freaking fix it. Inner beautyShe says this" The truth is that Disney princesses focus too much on outward beauty and those who do show inside beauty make it seem artificial and only there to attract the prince "False , false, and more false. Half the princesses are not even looking for love and their inner traits and characteristics where there far before they met their prince. Jasmine was always wanting to go out and was kind and caring, then she ran into Aladin. Ariel was always running off looking for adventure and had a kind heart, and then she met her prince. Same with Pocahontas but even more so. She met her prince after he invaded her land, and her kind and gentle spirit changed his thoughts on the matter. Do I need to mention brave and many others? This entire contention is just wrong. She claims they are faking inner beauty but that was there far before they met a prince. NOTE : She has handed me the debate at this point. By acknowledging they have inner beauty, and then by me showing that this existed prior to them meeting their premise, this turns her own contention against her. This shows they have inner beauty and that it was not just to get a prince, and that it existed prior to this. She concedes the inner beauty part, and i have negated the stance about it only being to gain a prince. Therefor we can conclude they have inner beauty in general. ConclusionMy adversaries entire round and rounds were baseless assertions with no evidence to support them. She has failed to show that princesses having a model like feature has negative effects on people , and that it is an example of a bad role model. No evidence was shown to support thisShe also acknowledges at the end of the debate that they do have inner beauty and outer beauty. She also concedes half my examples of this mid way through the debateWe can conclude in fact that they are good role models, even my adversary admits to this by the end of the debate.
