i've been called a debate bro before for asking for sources to back up claims of fact. is that a common debate bro tactic?

[–] VinesNFluff@beehaw.org 8 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Simply asking for sources doth not a debatebro make.

There's a certain smarmy attitude paired with self-importance that makes a debatebro.

To be like, proper debatebro you have to be stalking people and demanding they debate you based on a statement they made days ago. You have to be sneering and asking for a source when they say that water is wet, even though water being wet is such a common piece of knowledge that the onus of proof should be on the one disagreeing. Shid like that.
