Description

-- INTRO --
Ks are extremely controversial because some people consider them to be annoying, and they think that Ks are tactical tools to avoid actually debating. I personally think Ks are necessary tools for debate, and challenging assumptions that would otherwise rarely be questioned. As Pro I will argue that Ks are beneficial for debate, and con will argue the opposite.

-- TOPIC --
On balance, Kritiks are beneficial for debate.

-- STRUCTURE --
1. Constructives (Rebuttals not allowed)
2. Rebuttals
3. Rebuttals
4. Summary (No new points)

-- Rules --
1. Forfeit merits a loss.
2. Citations must be provided. If citations are continuously not provided in any form, this merits a loss.
3. Structure must be followed. An extreme violation merits a loss.
4. Everything else is fair game and if necessary can be debated through theory in round.

Why did you make the voting period so long? Now you have to wait 176 days just to get your easy win

Wow, I didn't expect pro to get so thoroughly wrecked

As a Kritik user, I don’t think Kritik will be entirely eliminated, because “otherwise how do we know that you aren’t thinking of this?

Let's try to use closer to 10k characters please. Nobody is going to want to read 30k
