my favorite thing from misogynists is this game of “gender discrimination isn’t real in society” and “gender discrimination only happens to men” that are somehow true at both times
‘I was rejected from publishers because I am a man’
Or maybe it’s incredibly hard to get published or you weren’t writing a book a publisher wanted to buy or you need to work on your craft
It’s the same thing when white women pretends to be a poc thinking it will get them a deal

Fascists are essentially an armed mob lacking a coherent doctrine that mobilize just to attack and kill Socialists. If you read into their actual doctrine it's just cartoonishly evil edgy stuff like "the strong must rule and the weak must die" and a glorification of ignorance.
it means you can’t assume the answer is false just because it’s circular or an appeal to common sense. if someone says the sky is blue because it’s “common sense”, that is fallacious, but not wrong
however, what is asserted without evidence can be dismissed without evidence
The best logical fallacy is the "fallacy fallacy", which means that your opponent using a fallacy doesn't mean their argument is necessarily wrong. More people need to know about this because a lot of online debating has turned into a game of spot-the-fallacies and nothing else.

“I fucking hate localization. Why don’t they just account for cultural and linguistic context to convey a similar meaning and intent to the original language using imperfect analogues?”

Look guys I get it. There's an annoying subgroup of racists who think anime is meant to look like white people or whatever, but tell me with a straight face you can tell which of these two are canonically Asian and European respectively without context.
i do think it is very funny that light novels have pivoted to making their protagonists perpetually annoyed with their harems. just a big, glowing “I Do Not Want This Cool Thing!” sign above their head for the whole nothing-plot

“art doesn’t have to be for everybody” as a response to “friction in games” as a criticism is fundamentally dismissive of that criticism. you cite authorial intent, as if intent overrides reception
I didn't imply that you can't criticise games for their design choices??? maybe you need to learn how to read first
I just said comparing friction in video games to real life is stupid, which it is, and that a lot of the friction complaints are actual choices made by developers
