False Dichotomy: Difference between revisions

* The [[Xkcd]] comic strip [http://xkcd.com/871/ "Charity"].

** [http://xkcd.com/322/ "Pix plz"] was [http://chainsawsuit.com/2008/05/09/strip-363/ parodied by Chainsawsuit]. Note how the jerk distills Black Hat down to "[[Ad Hominem|Stalking girls]]" or "[[White Knighting]]". So if anyone calls someone online out on their misogyny, they're only doing it to get into girls' pants and/or out of some need to defend their honor. The actual ''content'' of the criticism is to be brushed aside in favor of [[Ad Hominem|allegations about the critic]]. To be fair to Straub, this is inherent in ''any'' accusation of "white knighting".
