    Making up fake outrage to point to as an egregious example of a real problem which trivializes the real problem to an outside observer and makes it seem like you don’t have an actual argument but are rather raging for the sake of feeling offended.

    Not to mention, to the person making this argument, this is an affirmation to you that the others are “that bad” despite this not being an example and would most likely being an extreme version of the behavior you’re actually mad about.

    .

    All of this is the type of arguments reddit takes against the supposed “male rape culture” that you made fun of them for. Do you see the parallels?
