Tu quoque (/tjuːˈkwoʊkwi, tuːˈkwoʊkweɪ/;[1] Latin Tū quoque, for "you also") is a discussion technique that intends to discredit the opponent's argument by attacking the opponent's own personal behavior and actions as being inconsistent with their argument, therefore accusing hypocrisy. This specious reasoning is a special type of ad hominem attack. The Oxford English Dictionary cites John Cooke's 1614 stage play The Cittie Gallant as the earliest use of the term in the English language.

We have likely bought many, often after lying to ourselves about it.
Do two wrongs make a right?

Given their videos were so highly ranked, the prevalence of coercion in the industry, and the fact that it's often impossible to tell if someone's been threatened behind the scenes, it's highly likely that most people reading this who have watched porn online have also watched plenty of videos of actual rapes.
This is a simple fact, but one which a lot of people would rather deny, rather than admit their part in perpetuating it, while wondering why watching porn makes them sad. Partly, I suspect, because deep down they know the truth of it.
What's your view on 9/11?
To quote Orwell:
He is the martyr, the victim, Prometheus chained to the rock, the self-sacrificing hero who fights single-handed against impossible odds. If he were killing a mouse he would know how to make it seem like a dragon. One feels, as with Napoleon, that he is fighting against destiny, that he can’t win, and yet that he somehow deserves to. The attraction of such a pose is of course enormous; half the films that one sees turn upon some such theme.
Ah. This is a simple mistake.
You seem to think that corporate owners of commercial properties switch off the lights, heating and/or AC when they're empty.
In reality they leave them on even in empty properties, then lecture the rest of us about how it's our fault the climate is fucked because we forgot to unplug a 12 volt phone charger or flushed the toilet twice.
On a related note, remember that time you put the lid of a cola bottle in the wrong recycling bin? Clearly you're a hypocrite and in no position to suggest a factory dumping 12 tonnes of microplastics in a river is bad.
I have no idea what answer you're expecting that would involve "my Grade-level reading ability"
Do you have no idea why being able to read at a basic level would be relevant when communicating with a lawyer?
Ability to detect misinformation online has nothing to do with the metric described in the headline.
How would you go about disproving misinformation? How would you research if the claims in a video are true or not true?
How did you fact check with different lawyers?
Which is why I dislike people who attack those critical of capitalism's excesses for being hypocrites.
In the real world, most of us are hypocrites and part of the problem. That doesn't mean we can't try to be better or be critical of things that are bad about society.
