Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- AI-generated comics aren't allowed.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

The point is that I believe both of them - but you dont. Why? Where's the difference for you? Both of them push one side or the other of the same "rhetoric", and they're in no way contradictory. Do you simply believe only the one you agree with?
(I did engage with the fallacy stuff, and unless there's something new none of the fallacies you've presented are applicable to this comic, as has been patiently explained every time you bring them up.)
Yes, and you have been patiently countered. You might not like it, but this comic is a fallacy. There's nothing else to be said.
I'm not exactly shocked you're not engaging with the more important part of my comment, though I want to be clear that I'm not trying to indicate a broad pattern of behavior wherein everyone who doesn't understand fallacies will then strive to avoid answering uncomfortable questions about their personal values.
Also, and I don't ask this lightly, are... you trying to gaslight me about this, or are you just wrong? I haven't been ultimately countered about the misuse of fallacies here once, in fact everyone seems to have dropped it once someone presents the specifics of how their premise isn't valid - yourself included. It seems pretty soundly settled in the comments that there isn't a fallacy here, or if there is it's not one of the ones that's been presented.
