-====Look at how brave these universities are! They’re promising increased diversity and making a quota system for disadvantaged groups—well I mean, sorta. They don’t actually ever do anything and usually sweep problematic issues under the rug, but it’s the thought that counts right? ==== |

-====White patriarchy relies on this institutionalized promise of happiness, wherein oppression becomes happiness as it circulates the image of the happy woman in the kitchen, the thankful woman with lower pay and the happy slave. The contours of these restrictions relegate the Other to death through a denunciation of desire and will. ==== |

-====The 1AC is a personal killjoy manifesto against the oppressive structures of happiness in academic spaces. Our genealogy repeats the unhappy history of students and debaters alike, where every round forces the academic institution to continually take on the weight of its past. A manifesto allows us to use our personal experiences against the institution to reassert our wills and to collapse systems of violence. To be a killjoy is to be a political activist, a nonconforming queer, or the angry black woman. There can be joy in the killing of joy – our manifesto just determines a purpose of feminist flight. ==== |

-==== ~~rotb text?~~ The role of the ballot is vote for the debater that best mobilizes unhappiness as a way to fight oppression. Our manifesto is an archive of happiness that extends beyond the resolution; the ballot becomes a form of affect – every reading of the 1AC elicits an rfd, decision, and refutation which create new impressions to shape identity to reclaim the liberatory potential of academic settings. ==== |

-====Our manifesto points out the structures of complacency inside of institutions but critiques the normalcy of what it means to protest inside of it. Our refusal to be complacent with happiness in university settings redefines protest. Reshaping protest is crucial because institutions, like debate, discourage protest to maintain oppression and happiness. Speech is reregulated as the right to speak up. ==== |

-====Our manifesto is a rupturing of happiness inside of debate's academic setting. Oppression in debate is perpetuated by the decisions community members make on a weekly basis. We look to real world implications in order to access debate’s liberatory potential. Thus, the role of the judge is to vote for the best resistance strategy for the oppressed. ==== |

-====Scenarios of nuclear war or extinction are deemed as the ‘good form of debate’ and help construct a space where violence against womxn is especially hidden and force female debaters to be complacent reading those positions. We are supposed to be nice debaters, more compelling, appropriate and sweet. Failure to do so creates more affect against the marginalized female body. Thus, the figure of the killjoy is uniquely good in debate. ==== |

-====/slow down/ if that speech was too shrill for you then you’re part of the problem. The status of comfort in the activity deems feminine speech as shrill and disfavored. Women in debate become The Other in a new setting of the institution. Feminine participation and speech inside of debate is constantly suppressed to a relegated status of happiness and conformity. ==== |
