I've never claimed to be an "otaku" nor will I ever. I hate even hearing the term used in non Japanese conversations.Originally Posted by Eosian
Many people think anyone who claims to be an Otaku is a weaboo by default, the rest don't know the difference
Wow, I seem to be a jerk to someone. And I am annoying, what a surprise!
An option to add some special questions to our profiles would be nice, though I doubt it can be implemented easily.
Actually, It looks like the system will mostly be abused for "fun" rather than be an accurate reflection of the people.
Probably, but who cares.
There will always be people who will find you annoying regardless of what you do. There are people who hate you just because you're from Mexico just like there are people that hate me because I'm from America. It's a fact of life and it's something that won't go away. Just accept the criticism and move on.
Apparently a few people. Otherwise people would not be posting concerns over this system.
Yes because clearly hundreds of users are terribly upset and rallying an outcry about the vast injustice of the system.
No, actually a few people posted honest concerns. There is no need to belittle them by abusing the strawman fallacy.Yes because clearly hundreds of users are terribly upset and rallying an outcry about the vast injustice of the system.
Honest concerns because they're afraid to be judged? Or know how it will turn out?
Probably closer to reductio ad absurdum. He didn't create another argument and attack it.
My mockery of your hasty generalization would not constitute a strawman because I used your actual stated evidence, not a corruption of it, I just did it in a manner that clearly pointed out the lack of numbers.
This is hilarious so far.
Isn't it? We need Southperry Popcorn.
Needs to be a chin nibbling it's way through a bag.
hey look i have 0 votes goodyea i know by posting this thats probly gone
I still have zero votes (even being quite an active/old member).
I seriously don't see it with you but that's just me.
I just thought of another option that could be up there. Good sense of humor/maturity/immaturity, perhaps.
http://www.nizkor.org/features/fallacies/straw-man.htmlThe Straw Man fallacy is committed when a person simply ignores a person's actual position and substitutes a distorted, exaggerated or misrepresented version of that position. This sort of "reasoning" has the following pattern:
Person A has position X.
Person B presents position Y (which is a distorted version of X).
Person B attacks position Y.
Therefore X is false/incorrect/flawed.
Based on what he did. I'd say strawman applies. Maybe your's does as well. Its quite rare for one fallacy to not have more than one label apply.
You changed a "few people" into "hundreds" and then you changed "posting honest concerns" into "terribly upset and rallying an outcry." That is a complete distortion of what I stated.
Some people fear being judged. Others might be afraid that this system will be open to abuse. Others simply dont believe it's a good idea.Honest concerns because they're afraid to be judged? Or know how it will turn out?
Everyone is different and will have different concerns and combinations of concerns.
I'm enjoying this, hehe.
