What the slippery slope did you just say to me you little strawman? I’ll have you know I graduated top of my class in appealing to emotion, and I’ve been involved in numerous secret raids on loaded questions. I am trained in fallacy warfare and I’m the top debater in my entire high school. You are nothing to me but just another bandwagon. I will attack your character instead of engaging with your argument with precision the likes of which has never been seen before on this site, mark my anecdotes. You think you can get away with making logically sound arguments over the Internet? Think again, fucker. As we speak, I am contacting my secret network of trolls across the Internet and your IP is being traced right now so you better prepare for our fallacies, maggot. The storm that wipes out the pathetic little thing you call logic. You’re no fucking scotsman, kid. I can be ambiguous anywhere, anytime, and I can derail your discussion in over seven hundred ways, and that’s just with my false cause. Not only am I extensively trained in irrational argumentation, but I have access to the entire arsenals of comments sections that I will use it to its full extent to wipe your miserable argument off this continent. If only you could have known what unholy middle ground your little “logical” argument was about to bring down upon you, maybe you would have held your fucking burden of proof. But you couldn’t, you you didn’t, and now you’re begging the question, you black or white idiot. I will shit ad hominem all over you and you will appeal to nature in it. Tu quoque, kiddo.

You’re making a lot of assumptions about what I said. It doesn’t excuse it, I directly said they were wrong in this instance. My comment was directed towards the absurd comparison of women incorrectly assuming a white guy was mansplaining and a black woman who knows about the origins of RNA being dismissed. It’s really ignorant to equate the widespread, discriminatory assumption of women and black people being stupid and uneducated to two women not giving credit to the MIB writer lol. The former affects your education, livelihood, and career and the latter is funny at best and manufactured rage at worst. They are not at all equivalent.

I just want to clarify this again because this is just a Reddit-tier mentality that’s super brain dead: just because I’m saying this guy isn’t a tragic victim doesn’t mean I’m a crazy radical feminist that hates men.

It’s reductive to take that as saying “it’s more appropriate to hate on white people”. They worded it a bit poorly imo but the analogy they’re responding to is still crappy. There isn’t an issue of black women assuming white men don’t know the origins of RNA, but there is an issue of men assuming women don’t know anything about “nerdy” things like film. Obviously they assumed wrong with Ed Solomon, but the analogy is still in bad faith because it’s wouldn’t be for the same reason.

I was just saying that bc it seemed too cynical when you said we didn’t need to hear about it at all. I guess I don’t 100% know his intent either but there hasn’t been any reason to doubt it so far.

It’s not anti-feminist to laugh at the irony of saying no to the MIB writer clarifying the origins of the story. It’s just a goofy story lol.
