Debate Bro

A spin off on the term ‘Frat Bro’ expect in context of academic debate. A ‘Debate Bro’ will out of their way to make sure everyone knows how smart they are at post-modern philosophy, international relations, deductive reasoning, and other obscure topics while simultaneously shaming other debaters for their lack of expertise in said areas. A ‘Debate Bro’ ruins the fun of academic debate for others and proliferates the toxicity of exclusivity, racism etc. within the space.

Debate Bro

Snarky-laden term used by Leftists to describe Conservatives/non-Leftists that make them look bad in debates. The definition of "Debate" is fairly straightforward, and "Bro" is a not-so-coded way for feminized Leftists to signify to its audience that it's a part of "toxic" masculine culture.

Leftists want to ascertain that they're right on the issues, but Conservatives override their "correct" substance by being more "dominant" or "assertive" in a non-substantive way. They're trying to make the argument that Conservatives are "strong but wrong", while Leftists are "right but weak". Truth is: Personality doesn't make you more correct when you're wrong. It's only liberals who fail to prove Conservatives wrong in a particular issue.

The term was only coined by Lefties as a cope phrase to justify losing and/or failing to defend their weak positions and embarrassing themselves to the point they no longer want to "engage" in debate. Just look at every debate Daily Wire or TP USA event
Blue-Haired Feminist Leftist at Ben Shapiro event (talking into a microphone) - "I think the the gender pay-gap only exists because of sexism, and thus why we need to end the Patriarchy."

Ben Shapiro - "Actually, the so-called 'gender pay-gap' doesn't exist because of discrimination. If you take into account skills, experience, tenure, willingness to work overtime, and take less vacation time, that perfectly explains why men out-earn women. Plus, it's pretty counterproductive for a company to pay women less on average, but hire more men on average, if pay is all that mattered."

Blue-Haired Feminist Leftist at Ben Shapiro event (talking into a microphone) - "OMFG, fuck you, you sexist piece of shit! You're such a Debate Bro if you really think I'm going to stand here and listen to your so-called 'facts' and 'deductive reasoning' to justify your misogyny and make me look bad! And you probably don't get laid either! INCEL!"

Debate Pervert

When our position on an issue is no longer based on curiosity and the desire for the truth, but a desire to win a debate. When someone reaches this stage of discourse, there's no need to try and persuade them.
I don't like to talk to conservative pundits and professional opinion havers like Matt Walsh and Ben Shapiro, they're debate perverts. They don't care about the truth.

debate pervert

A term primarily used by socialist streamer Hasan Piker to refer to "debate bros" or political content creators who engage in debate. This term is used for people on the left and right, but it primarily came to be because Hasan wanted a way to mention liberal streamer Destiny without using his actual name as Destiny engages in debate and is known for his sexcapades. Outside of Hasan, it's usually a phrase used by socialist to primarily attack Destiny and Vaush, a controversial socialist commentator who also engages in debate.
