I just found out about a thing, via Pieter Breitner – Fallacy Ref.
The one I saw is very familiar:
There was a loaded question on the play
Inquiry unfairly restricted answers to force an unjustified conclusion
Uh huh. Been there; had that.

Yes, but that was about football where missing the nuances really matters. You were just talking about discrimination or rights or something abstruse that doesn’t really affect a soul.

Happily, readers unable to recognize or appreciate irony have mostly quit B&W.
Fairness? That’s subjective.
Unlike real life, a game has mutually-accepted a priori rules. Fairness is following the rules.
(Not comparable to a dispute about what the rules supposedly are)
I didn’t think anyone would need to be told that Logic Fallacy Ref only looks like a football referee and actually calls foul plays on *discourse*, where people *do* dispute what the rules are.
Samantha, allusive as you and others find it, it’s not exactly Kafkaesque, and I did read #1 as well as Googling the fallacy ref. Still think it’s worse than weak, meme or not.
