Reason:

"Should either side forfeit every round or every round after their initial arguments (waiving is not an argument), the debate is considered a Full Forfeiture, and any majority votes against the absent side are not moderated (a vote may still be cast in their favor of the absentee, but is eligible for moderation to verify that it is justified via the normal voting standards)."
"While the sufficiency standard clearly points to appeals to the quantity of arguments not being enough, someone with a single line assertion against a warranted case with sources simply does not merit the same level of consideration. Similarly, someone who never advances their case beyond obvious non-sequiturs, or commits the not even wrong fallacy regarding the resolution, has also not earned detailed analysis beyond pointing that out. I.e., sufficiency goes both ways, A DEBATER MUST FIRST OFFER A SUFFICIENT ARGUMENT FOR SUFFICIENT CONSIDERATION TO OCCUR."
-DArt Voting Policy

Pro's argument consists of the following phrase.
"AS LONG AS YOU PLAY AMOGUS THEN THE MOST SUS THING TO DO IS SET COMPUTER ON FIRE AND IT GIVES ENERGY TO GET THE IMPOSTER DUB AT 999999999 FPS IN 4K"

This clearly meets in my eyes the definition of an insufficient argument.
Normally a forfeit vs an insufficient argument should end in a tie, however, the BoP shouldered by Pro with such a claim is so high that the victory should go to Con by default.

Despite that Pro made an ineffective argument, Con made nothing, therfore the victory belongs to Pro.

Reason:

Although the BoP is arguably on PRO, as a voter, I have a duty to vote based on what happened in the debate, not on my own subjective interpretation of it. Any attempt to justify otherwise would be fluffery.

PRO at least put an argument to support his point, while CON full forfeited. Therefore, PRO wins.
