      Just because you want to change the topic of discussion to a strawman it doesn’t mean it’s what we are discussing.

      Besides, you’re the only one kidding around here, making up bogus accusations to discredit criticism

        you just threw out a strawman, got told to stay on topic, then accused the other person of strawmanning your argument because they stayed on topic rather than responding to your strawman

                oh no somebody’s using words they don’t understand

                give me the definition of a strawman argument, then explain how that was one

                  A strawman argument is where they put up a false version of the argument I was making and argue against it instead. Such as pretending I was arguing media should have zero message whatsoever, instead of the actual argument I was making, which was that entertainment should be a higher priority than the message

                    ok i think i get it, so for example making the argument be about “shows shouldn’t prioritise pushing a message over quality” when that’s completely irrelevant to the topic at hand would be an example of a strawman argument, yes?

                    also i’m still waiting on an answer for what message the show is pushing
