    Except that it is? You literally added a quote of something neither I nor anyone else said (“After I attacked her, she reacted in a way that hurt my feelings”) and then provided your own reply for it justifying her response. One her real reactions, btw, was portraying her “attackers” as rapists. You did not quote any “attacks” nor her response, but justified it nonetheless because people were “attacking” her.

    Criticize != Attack

    As a refresher, here’s what a straw man argument is:

    A straw man argument (or straw man fallacy) is a logical fallacy that occurs when someone distorts or exaggerates an opponent’s actual position, and then refutes that fake, weaker version of the argument instead of the real one.

    If you don’t see how your reply fits that definition, I’m afraid I can’t help you.

        Who’s “this guy”? I’ve never personally talked to pizzacake and hadn’t even heard of her until after all of this happened.

        I was did misremember. It was a comic strip where she was basically the rapist amd it got her patreon banned for a while. Supposedly because they only allow consensual content.

        It’s funny how people who can’t stand being wrong immediately resort to ad hominem remarks with literally no basis in reality.

        Lemmy has unfortunately turned into reddit at a more rapid pace than I was expecting.

            Yes, supposedly. I don’t work at Patreon, nor do I have access to their logs. I can’t show proof of why she was temporarily banned.

            Whether I agree with the ban or not is beside the point. I don’t care about pizzacake herself. I just think her humor is barely humor at all, the art style is as bland as it could be and she seems to be a pretty unlikeable person to say the least.

            What is “do you just like knowing facts” even supposed to mean? You’re not even making sense dude.

              I don’t care about pizzacake herself, but she seems to be pretty unlikeable.

              Fun rhetoric tip for anyone who’s reading: if you see something like the above, you’re dealing with a coward.

              Potus, tell me what you actually believe. Puff your chest out and say it with strength, hm? Stop pretending to be utterly disaffected by issues you are bringing to me. If you don’t care, I can’t care.
