  • I don’t understand why you keep going about the exact part I’m telling you I’m not interested in?

    I don’t want to know why everyone does this particular thing. I just want people stop using the argumentative fallacy of “everyone does X, so X is fine/good”.

    Everyone here is continuing to fixate on the X part, but I’m only commenting on the argumentative fallacy itself, which is separate from the instance of X in this case.

    Please, no more? Alright?













  • … So how did the trailer make you feel?

    😄😉

    Nah kidding I get your point, although we could argue that there is merit in doing something a certain way because everyone is doing it that way.

    Yeah, I mean, sure, it definitely depends on what it is. But if we want to use such an argument, there’d have to be a reason attached as well. Like, “everyone does it, and it’s for a reason, namelyyyyyy…”, you know what I mean?

    The argument on its own is just empty. 🤷‍♂️


  • you judged the trailer for being something it was never expected to be

    I didn’t do that. I simply judged the argument of “that’s usually what is done”. That’s not a good argument.

    I don’t have much against the trailer itself, can we let that part go? I only here oppose the argument of “everybody does it”. That’s what I had an issue with from the start.
