>>55384368>Also that's an ad hominem not a strawman... Actually, an "ad hominem" is using my persona against me, e.g. "He's a surgeon so he knows NOTHING about construction work" - which doesn't really work here, because we're all anonymous.
A straw-man fallacy is when you use an intentionally misrepresented proposition that is made up because it's easier to defeat than finding a real argument to defeat the opponent with.
Example: "I want a lower punishment for criminals." -> "Oh, so you want there to be more crime!" (Strawman fallacy)
OR another good example:
"I don't see the appeal of women sucking on one's finger" -> "Oh, so you're a virgin then? Pls have sex." (Strawman fallacy)
>You are nowhere near as smart as you think you are.Anytime someone says this, they're actually projecting themselves onto their opponent lmao
