For context, I talked about on a gaming community, in regards to Discord’s digital ID mandate, that its current CEO was Israeli (likely a Crypto Jew from what I gathered). I correctly pointed this out, and got banned temporarily from that community for racism (despite being partially Ashkenazi myself).
The picture here is from a now-removed post, which I have saved, thankfully, asking if noticing what your own ethnic brethren are doing is classified as racist. It was removed for being “trolling”, though there seems to be no proof that this is the case. I was curious as to if this was the case, which was why I asked the question. However, since I capitalize my titles, I was classed as a troll, despite no proof of that whatsoever (and, it seems the mod who removed me from that community admitted by this action that I was being genuine with my question).
The post in question: https://lemmy.today/post/47486945
Your fallacy would be correct if what I was saying was wrong and couldn’t be backed up with evidence. Your title used a racist term, and then your post itself was meant to be divisive.
If you want to say I pre-judged you, let’s look at your post history.
4/8 of your posts have been removed. Most of the time when something is removed you come here, complain, and then it also gets removed. You have a grand total score of -70 votes on your posts. Of your 296 comments, you’ve received roughly a 1:1 ratio of downvotes to upvotes (more downvotes btw). You are controversial to say minimally.
You poisoned your own well. Your trust is near zero here. What you do post is inflammatory, and we can tell.
Edit, because you edited, your choice of phrasing is exactly why you get removed. You choose to go out of your way to be polarizing, and these are the consequences.
Now we can get into something called the appeal to motive, of which this looks to be so.
Proof of that is this: https://www.logicallyfallacious.com/logicalfallacies/Ad-Hominem-Circumstantial
The reason why I speak truth to light (the way I understand it, at least), and get ratioed to hell and back, is because of the fact that I’m not willing to fallate anyone’s junk after doing my own research (heck, my memory is shoddy to the point where I have the inability to remember exactly what I researched, unless I’m reminding myself of it). Because people know this fact about me (even if they won’t admit it), mods will remove me for seemingly violating a rule (which usually isn’t the case), and they’ll tend to label me something that ends up becoming an appeal to the person, also known as damnation of the source.

See all of this would be true if we were in some academic argument, but you’re not. You’re not arguing for your case or facts, you’re arguing against people. People who get to define their own rules for their spaces. So, in your own vernacular, if you choose to “fallate anyone’s junk after doing my own research”, which we all know means “I want to be inflammatory and annoy people”, then you’re going to have consequences, because us people don’t want to hear it.
So, how to put this to someone who thinks we’re having some grand debate.
If you want to do all of that, go start your own Lemmy instance. There you can walk around and make whatever rules you want and argue with all the people who join.
The issue is, that’s not what I’m saying. If anything, what I should point out is that I’m not willing to take the Jesuit route, which is why I’m neutral on a lot of things. In other words, sucking papal pee-pee is not my goal, even though you might think that way.
That’s also why I never really attempted to say everyone in a particular ethnicity is bad (though you seem to imply that I do this, despite proof elsewhere showing I’m not).
Look, I’ll be very real with you. If you’re being honest, and I have no idea if you are or not. Whether or not you’re intending to come off that way, you are coming off that way. It does not matter at all what you intended, it’s how it’s perceived by everyone, and right now, you are not perceived well. You do not come off as neutral.
It’s mostly due to my brash wording, brutal honesty, and my black and white thinking (autism aside, that is).
