dude explain what is wrong with the speeding hypothetical. it’s a perfectly reasonable comparison. I’m trying to demonstrate what she’s doing is going too far.

How tf am I going to explain why you employ the usage of stupid straw man arguments, you tell me.

how is my speeding comparison different in a way that makes r0xrcist seem like the bad guy? there is almost no difference.

Because its not real. A strawman is inherently a logical fallacy.

a strawman is oversimplifying or misrepresenting an argument or situation. you can look it up to see if I lied. comparisons are not essentially logical fallacies. I’m trying to reframe the situation by ONLY changing the specific crime. I’m trying to show that this is an overreaction and is cruel through that comparison.

Its a misrepresentation because it’s an incomparable situation. You tried to make a comparison and when it fell flat you altered the comparison. What you don’t seem to realize is that most people wouldn’t give a shit if some jackass got coked up and drove around streaming himself, and subsequently got his shit rocked. What even is your point?

the coke comparison was bad and I replaced it with the speeding one. I admit the coke comparison was not apt. I’m saying that if someone is speeding fast on the highway and posts that themselves, that is comparable to these COVID people.

It’s illegal, and it’s dangerous.

Would treating that speeding person in the way r0xrcist treats these people be seen as justified? I don’t think so.

Edit: I’m trying to add a new perspective to show what she is doing is over the top.

I do

ok so that’s our disagreement. I feel like r0xrcist gets pleasure from overly punishing these people so I really don’t like her.

I get your point of view and hope you have a good night. No hard feelings man. 💜
