1		-Debate is not a safe space – minoritized bodies are constantly told they are too loud or too angry or too emotional – we are constantly told to be happy, to stop complaining, to just do “real debate”.
2		-
3		-Exclusive forms of debate are driving out minority debaters by making debate technocratic and elitist. It desensitizes debaters to ignore violence and racism while excluding marginalized bodies. Thus, the role of the judge is to vote for the best resistance strategy for the oppressed.

8		-And, spaces like debate are oriented around the repetition of bodies that inhabit them – a chair become molded around a body that constantly sit in it – when I sink into the chair, if I fit into the mold I no longer notice the points of tension between my body and the chair. Bodies sink into chairs in the same way bodies sink into institutions – whiteness cohere spaces in certain shapes so that bodies that fit in them no longer notice friction while those that don’t experience stoppage and tension – this is why debate tournaments are full of white guys in suits, because when people of color or women enter the cafeteria they are seen as out of place.

11		-But how does … some and not others.
12		-
13		-This creates friction – bodies are stopped and interrogated when they do not fit in the orientation of the space. Feminine speech in spaces of white supremacy becomes the incessant nag. This inequality makes debate impossible – unconscious and informal mechanisms of exclusion mean that participants aren’t on an even playing field.  Even when minoritarian subjects do speak, they are not heard – addressing this social inequality is a prerequisite for further deliberation.

18		-AND, this creates uneven energy distributions. Institutions deplete the energy of those it wants to exclude – the energy to get up, to keep fighting, to keep existing in spaces.

20		-Ahmed 13 Sara Ahmed "Feeling Depleted" November 17, 2013 Feminist Kill-Joy https://feministkilljoys.com/2013/11/17/feeling-depleted/
21		-I am currently … being depleted with others.
22		-
23		-This is a form of psychological violence – alienation and isolation within debate deplete the energy of minoritized bodies who are held up as symbols of diversity when they do well and experience microaggressions when they don’t. The burden is constantly on those bodies to make the debate space more accessible. Psychological violence comes first because it is a prerequisite to resolving any impact – when bodies are experience psychological violence they are unable to keep fighting and create change to resolve other material violence.
24		-
25		-Thus, we advocate the methodology of the feminist killjoy – refusing to be happy or complicit within systems of oppression. We contest hegemonic structures of deliberation that marginalize the oppressed and kill the joy of white comfortability.

28		-Killjoys To be unseated by … we will and we are.
29		-
30		-A killjoy kills the joy of sexist and racist institutions and refuses the
31		-modes of happiness that are forced upon them – calling out sexism on debate teams kills the joy of the white guys; the Zapatista movement congregated around a Brown Metisza identity and used that to kill the joy of white supremacy; it is an internal rejection of the paradigm of complicity in happiness – reclaiming the idea that women or people of color constantly need to be happy in systems of oppression.
32		-
33		-This contextualizes three net benefits:
34		-
35		-a. Collectivization – Our politic of anti-productivity creates solidarity that connects minoritized bodies together. Our methodology supports bottom up movements that refuse humanizing politics. These spaces of solidarity can resolve psychological violence because we refuse the internal demands to be happy in spaces that oppress us. This creates a process of healing from the traumas of the academic space.

39		-Free speech is often conceived … use will be indispensible.
40		-
41		-b. Self-reflexivity – the method of the feminist killjoy can be used to critique itself – the figure of the ‘angry black woman’ can kill the joy of white feminists who enact violence on people of color which means our methodology is accessible and fluid. We expose the histories of white feminism to kill the joy of white feminism.
