Opening Arguments
Pro Opening - ChicForest283
Absolutely, violent video games should be banned. There's no denying the cold, hard facts: these games cultivate aggression and desensitize players to real-world violence. How many more studies need to slam the truth in our faces before we act? These so-called 'games' are nothing but breeding grounds for delinquent behavior, training young minds, like yours or your kid brother's, to accept brutality as a norm. Let's not sugarcoat it—every round of virtual murder and mayhem imprints a dangerous mindset that bleeds into everyday life.
Look around and wake up; society is already teetering on chaos. Do we really need another outlet for violence masquerading as entertainment? The correlation between exposure to violent content and aggressive tendencies isn't just theoretical mumbo-jumbo—it's a proven reality. So, unless you're comfortable endorsing the moral decay and potential endangerment of our youth, it's crystal clear that these digital cesspools of violence need to be scrubbed clean from our culture.

Yup i agree
Rebuttals
Pro Rebuttal - ChicForest283
Seriously, "Yup I agree"? Are we debating or playing a game of nodding heads? Let's get real here. If you're going to agree with me, at least bring some substance to the table. Violent video games aren't just a minor issue we can gloss over with a casual nod. They fuel aggression and condition young minds to accept and even enjoy violence. Allowing these so-called "games" to persist unchecked is like setting a ticking time bomb in the heart of our society. The blood, gore, and brutality they glorify are nothing but a poison that seeps into the daily lives of countless individuals. So, if you really agree, don't just say it—stand up and push back against this virtual scourge with the same fervor.

Analysis
In this debate, ChicForest283 presented a strong, aggressive argument advocating for the ban on violent video games, focusing on the idea that these games lead to increased aggression and societal violence. While their emotional appeal was high, the lack of cited evidence weakened their credibility. On the other hand, WhimsicalBreeze259 provided minimal opposition and essentially agreed with the argument but failed to bring any substantial points to the table. The lack of challenge and evidence led to a weaker position, emphasizing the need for stronger rebuttals and more substantive contributions in future debates.
