Every argument you're in consists of "this doesn't exist" or bringing up something and then when you concede that they do exist or someone calls you out, you turn around and say "lol I don't care."
i care about the context of the debate but i don't care about gamergate if that's what you're concerned about i'm not saying stuff like "*term whatever* is just a lazy copout insult* just for the hell of it
[QUOTE=Ownederd;46865896]i have no idea how you managed to translate that from that but alright i wouldn't ever do devil's advocate because that's a dick move[/QUOTE] Regardless of your intentions, your passive-agressive tone doesn't really helps your case. It makes it look like you're adopting a holier-than-thou attitude. Don't see what's funny about that, unless you're purposefully trying to bait people into flaming you?
Oh, and can you explain why you thik TB is a piece of shit? You never explained that when asked some pages back.
[QUOTE=Ownederd;46865937]i'm not saying stuff like "*term whatever* is just a lazy copout insult* just for the hell of it[/QUOTE] Well it's certainly not grounded in reality so I'm curious as to what the actual reason behind it is.
Well Goddammit, looks like I won't be getting an answer anytime soon.
Guess we'll never know.

It's not the argument. I already said that three times. Is it too much of a bother to you to read my posts? Ad-Hominem consists in attacking a person instead of their argument. Using a neologism to refer to them is not Ad-Hominem when it's accompanied with arguments. Using your reasoning we could condemn the word "racist" as well. A good rule of thumb when constructing an argument is to check if applying the same logic in a different context leads to absurds conclusions, in which case it is flawed. This is something you clearly should have done here.

Stop throwing criticism straight back at me and instead properly respond to mine.

[QUOTE=_Axel;46866281]Did you read the thread? Do I really have to dig for my post a second time?[/QUOTE] Are you really gonna sit there and complain about me asking for a simple definition or are you gonna actually argue?
[QUOTE=_Axel;46858431]Well shit if that's the actual definition then I must be one heck of a SJW. I don't think it is, though, nor have I seen it used with such a broad meaning on the internet much. I think it's a spot on denomination for a certain kind of persons, specifically people who care more about appearing "politically correct" and "progressive" rather than actually helping society to go further. More precisely, the kind who blissfully engage in hypocritical behavior regarding these topics and prefer to see opponents as boogeymen rather than engaging in rational debate. Here's a quote from another thread about why I think it's a fitting title for them: [QUOTE]That's a pretty fitting denomination, I think. It's as pure an oxymoron as it gets; you don't spread tolerance by waging war, you do so by being civil and by proving your point through rational debate. Why do you think the most well-known and successful social movements are non-violent ones? Because it's more efficient to make people tolerant towards you by showing your humanity than by hurting and humiliating them. These people are a travesty to social progress, they adopt a scapegoat mentality not because it actually further their pretended goal, but because it strengthen their cultish structure. No genuinely progressive people would identify as that.[/QUOTE] If you want to prove the validity of an ideology, you have to stay critical towards it, not hold every of its aspects as some sorts of holy scriptures. All in all, to me the SJW title represents the bad seeds who are actually detrimental towards social progression by misinforming people about what it means rather than your average social justice supporter they should learn a thing or two from.[/QUOTE] Here it is. I should bookmark it or something. [editline]6th January 2015[/editline] [QUOTE=xxncxx;46866303]Are you really gonna sit there and complain about me asking for a simple definition or are you gonna actually argue?[/QUOTE] I don't know, to me it seems like common courtesy to actually read the entire debate before butting in and asking for a point that was already argued.
[QUOTE=_Axel;46866307]Here it is.

No genuinely progressive people would identify as that.[/quote] Just looking at the vocabulary, I can already tell this definition puts SJWs in a negative light, no? So would you disagree that calling someone an SJW and applying this definition to them would be attacking their character, IE ad hominem? Or do you want to redefine it so you can win the argument?

I only do it when they have exhibited the behaviour I described. It's not so much an Ad-Hominem as it is a criticism of their misdeeds.

EDIT: The fact I'm being dumbed and disagreed for this shows that alot of you need to read up on what ad hominem is. "Criticism of their misdeeds" is criticism of someones character, not their argument, which is textbook ad hominem.

If you call someone an SJW in order to win an argument then you are using Ad-hominem. It's like calling someone a racist, there are certain beliefs a racist has, thinking certain races are inferior to others. If someone said they think black people are inferior to them I can identify them as a racist. If I try to win an argument with someone by calling them racist I am using Ad-hominem.
[QUOTE=xxncxx;46866339]So, ad hominem.[/QUOTE] Saying someone is racist while presenting evidence towards it is Ad-Hominem now? According to you, criticising someone's behaviour is Ad-Hominem then? Isn't that what you're doing at this very moment? Explaining why someone's conduct is toxic actually serves a purpose: Pointing it out means people are less likely to indulge in it in the future. The Ad-Hominem fallacy is relevant when one is attacking somebody's person instead of their point, i.e. it is irrelevant to the debate. This is not the case in this context.
