False Equivalency #1: Logic and feelings are both just as biased.

“I feel bad therefore what he said was bad” is not in the same ballpark as “2+2=4”. Logic is merely a tool that can be used to discover some kinds of truths and falsehoods. If you think your emotional responses are on the same level as objective reality — that your feelings outweigh anyone else’s factual experiences — you are simply an entitled narcissistic.

Homey, you are missing the point.

There is a very clear line between what I’m talking about and what you are trying to say I’m talking about.

You cannot tell me, as a citizen of the internet, that you have not met someone who has sat upon a high horse and belched across the land about rhetorical fallacies and ‘muh logic’.

For example, you.

Or, flat-earthers. Belief =/= logic, and feelings =/= logic, but ‘muh logic’ and spewing garbage and vacillating over logical fallacies is the same thing as ‘muh feels’ in terms of how valid both of them are.

Literally staunch hard-left SJW feminists and masturbatory alt-right /b/ tards are the SAME EXACT PEOPLE on two different sides of a fruitless, nonsensical debate.

I am not conflating ‘logic’ with ‘emotions’ I am conflating the cries of ‘muh logic’ with ‘muh emotions’. Which are two entirely different entities than actual ‘emotions’ and ‘logic’.

False Equivalency #2: Merely responding is whining.

If you say stupid shit on the internet you shouldn’t be surprised when someone calls you out on it. If my entire post was “whining and complaining” then where does that put you?

You literally turned what you said about someone else, that I said you were doing, back on me, again. Do you understand how nuts that is?

You can’t complete an entire paragraph without injecting a non-sequitur ad-hominem. At least try some grownup insults.

Homey, I can literally do whatever I want.

Unable to actually debunk anything I said, you resort to mischaracterizing my statements and attacking straw men. A truly original strategy, Comrade.

Besides, what’s wrong with whining and complaining? When privileged female feminists do it it’s called “empowerment!” Are you trying to shame a more feminine manner of addressing an issue? If you ever need to find another misogynist demon to slay, try taking a selfie. 😉

Nope. And I don’t think privileged feminists whining and complaining is empowered. I think they should do something to better the world, like write a thesis or create a video, piece of art, or lead a class.

Or write a satirical article that gets people thinking about the female perspective. Hmm.

Entitlement accrues responsibility, in social justice circles, or otherwise.

I never claimed to be Very Smart or any kind of debater. I’m not sure why you needed to wank your e-peen in front of me either. If my satire and lack of funny bone and stupidity are so evident, wouldn’t it be obvious? Why are you trying so hard to prove yourself as better than me? Who are you trying to convince here?

No, but you are acting as such. I saw a need because it’s amusing.

It was obvious. And I was justified in telling you as such. And it was fun.

Trolls literally get worse every day…I swear.
