The User Known As "Bluesteel" is a girl

Presumption My opponent's logic that you should vote for him if you aren't sure who won is still logically invalid. Again, *my opponent provides literally no reasoning to think that he's even been in a hangout with bluesteel, let alone has seen even bluesteel's face*. His word simply isn't enough to to justify this claim, I can claim the exact same thing and my word holds the exact same weight as his. It's literally a bare assertion, do not follow this point. If you think the debate is a tie, leave it as so. "Just for the sake of clarity and not giving me a headache going through neg's redundant responses, I'm kicking contention one. It's not necessary for me to win the debate, and you're easily affirming off of contention two anyway" I'm disappointed in my opponent's poor conduct in this debate. Saying that my arguments are so terrible they give him head aches is a personal insult that is obviously not necessary. "That proves the third premise" Again, my opponent has failed to show that his source is trustworthy or reliable. Mikal is human, and thus is able to lie about anything. There needs to be evidence that Mikal is telling the truth to justify this, like a picture of the two together. I can claim that I dated a super model, but a human's word is not enough to prove the claim. Until his third premise is proven, do not accept this point. EVIDENCE: I do not need to provide proof that bluesteel is a male. I'm merely disproving my opponent's claim that bluesteel is a girl. There is not one point in the debate where I claimed that bluesteel is a guy. Pro always has the burden to proof his claim in a debate, unless specified otherwise in the opening round that included the rules. In addition, Pro claims that the burden of proof cannot be fulfilled, therefore he does not have to meet it. However, the BOP still rests on his shoulders, regardless of how tough it is to fulfill. Pro only gives arguments as to why it would be hard for him to find evidence to support his claims rather than making arguments as to why it's invalid to demand proof from him. Again, as pro, my opponent must prove beyond any doubt that bluesteel is a girl. Showing that bluesteel is possibly, probably, or could be a girl is not enough to prove the resolution that bluesteel *is* a girl. I'll use math to fortify my explanation on this point: Zaradi is making the claim, which means to fulfill the BoP he has to provide X. Rather than providing actual evidence or compelling arguments, my opponent provided Y. Y= A bare assertion. X= Evidence that my opponent is correct/him meeting the BOP. Y < X. Y is not enough to justify X. My opponent has made a claim, and he has the burden of proof unless specified otherwise in the first round of the debate (The round where both sides provide necessary definitions and specify the rules of the debate). Seeing as he has failed to do so, I am not required to prove that bluesteel is a boy in order to win this debate; rather, I must negate my opponent's claims that bluesteel is a girl. Again, I *never* claimed that bluesteel is a man, I'm merely arguing against my opponent's assertions claiming that bluesteel is a girl. For this reason it is impossible for my opponent to win, and therefore it is unnecessary for me to provide any arguments against him. Conclusion: I have negated my opponent's claims and shown how he must fulfill the burden of proof in order to win the debate (Which he never met, as shown above). My opponent's claims that I must prove that bluesteel is a man is faulty as well, as I never claimed that bluesteel is a man, rather I was negating the claim that bluesteel is a girl. The only "burden of proof" I would technically have is to negate my opponent's claims, which I have done. Thus, my opponent has failed to meet his BOP, has had poor conduct, and has had his argument's refuted. I'd like to thank Zaradi for giving me my first completed "serious debate" on this website. In addition, I thank anyone who took time out of their daily lives to read this debate and consider the points my opponent and I made, I appreciate it. Again, thank you for the debate Pro, and have a nice day!
