Comment on How do I get informed on Joe Rogan without watching his videos.

It would be, if I was using it as a premise that the show was bad. I was not making that argument.

It still is. You can commit to the ad hominem (guilt by association) fallacy by saying that the arguments are bad because extremists believe them or point out logical fallacies in the arguments and say that they must be false because they're logically invalid.

I didn’t conclude that the arguments are bad. Insisting it is still ad hominem is fallacious.

Guilt by association is widely accepted as an ad hominem fallacy
