Article mashes up a valid grievance with an irrelevant attack on the quality of Marvel films. Anger is a powerful tool, but it can really weaken your argument if not used with precision.
I also think the message of this particular advert doesn't justify the strength of this attack.
- midgetjones 10y agoAt the very least, it's ridiculous to call it a 'sweatshop'. The kid making DHH's shoes would probably love to work for Marvel. Yes, I am fighting hyperbole with hyperbole.
- orly_bookz 10y agoI get your hyperbole but simply as a matter of course I'm gonna have to throw a flag: that's the fallacy of relative privation.
- midgetjones 10y agoThanks! I really need to read up on my fallacies.
- aninhumer 10y agoIt's not the fallacy of relative privation if the article already made the comparison to sweatshops. It's just pointing out an inaccurate (and arguably tasteless) analogy.
- midgetjones 10y agoVindication!
