    This would have been a fine place to say oh okay I didn’t know that and just shut up.

    I don’t know how much more clear I could have made it that I was trying to inform people about this type of fallacy, and I’m not commenting on her position or how anybody feels about it.

    Honestly, your comment is just another fallacy because it’s attacking what you believe to be the motivations for my comment, which were not the motivations.

      No, it looked like you were bringing up a fallacy for no good reason. First, no one asked you to teach them about fallacies. Second, if you’re past middle school and found yourself on a niche platform you probably already know. Third, if you actually read what I wrote or what the image says: this isn’t that fallacy.

      Criticizing someone for hypocrisy isn’t invalid. Bringing up unrelated fallacies when someone criticizes someone is at best pointless noise.

      There’s something funny about you assuming you know why I made my reply in the very sentence you get upset with me for supposedly doing that.
      For clarity, I understood why you made your comment. I just thought it was silly, so I took it upon myself to inform you of a fallacy you weren’t making, as well as some nuance to the one you seemed to be so keen to talk about.
