    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

                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
