Microsoft could announce that they've made kittens live forever and people would complain.
- kstrauser 1y agoMicrosoft: We’ve opted all users not on the Ultimate edition into the mandatory Kitten Soul Cage. Fans: You people will complain about everything!
- olddustytrail 1y agoThere must be a name for this fallacy. You know where it goes: Person/Company does crappy thing People complain Fanboy says "Person/Company could do amazing thing and people would still complain" ... when it's very obvious that company/person didn't do anything good. I've seen it so many times there must be a name for it. Anyone know what it is?
- technothrasher 1y agoIt's basically shooting the messenger, which is an ad hominem.
- olddustytrail 1y agoI'm not sure they're quite the same. If noone else has coined a term for it I'll go with the "cancer cure fallacy" but maybe someone has a better name. Open to suggestions!
- RichardCA 1y agoBegging the Question. Step 1: Assume your claim is already true, e.g. "Microsoft is a still good corporate actor in spite of doing X". Step 2: Manufacture circular logic to support your claim from Step 1. In other words, the poster is begging the question to be self-evident, rather than producing evidence to support their claim.
