Con

There are not media fashion requirements beyond that if it is truly explicit nudity it gets listed only in/as 18+ media.

I will wait to hear Pro's case.

Pro

There actually is "requirements" in the media, although it isn't truly necessary it is pushed into action by others.

I'll wait to hear cons case.

Keep waiting. You don't seem to understand who has the power here.

Pro has not upheld their burden of proof.

@Novice

My best guess is that they don't want to be the first to speak so that they have the chance to do more rebuttals and/or because they don't want to lay the groundwork.

I don't know what the point of the excessive apathy, but that cost you the debate.

Reason:

No constructive case from pro, makes the outcome a foregone conclusion.

While pro did assert that requirements exist, he never attempted to imply they are harmful. Whereas con denied the requirement, meeting his minimal goal against the lack of a pro case.

Better conduct

1 point(s)

Reason:

Per the DART voting policy, argument points are awarded like so: "Goes to the side that, within the context of the debate rounds, successfully affirms (vote pro) or negates (vote con) the resolution. Ties are possible, particularly with pre-agreed competing claims, but in most cases failing to affirm the resolution means pro loses by default."

This is not a tied resolution; there's no reason for me to be unsure if the resolution has either been affirmed or negated. There's only a failure to affirm the resolution and thereby no need for con to negate the resolution.

If I could somehow penalize both sides for their conduct, I would. While it was a little funny, objectively both sides did not act respectfully.
