Comment on Inspired by a friends current vacation
chonglibloodsport@lemmy.world 1 week agoTone policing is a much older and more common tactic than that. It’s fallacious because it’s responding to the implied tone of a person’s writing (or their emotions) rather than the specific claims of their argument.

Except this is a comparison to other comments, not the tone of the comment. A crow sounds like a raven in not the same thing as a crow sounds like a jerk/sounds angry and not worth listening to/etc. If that’s confusing, I give up. Tone policing is something used to oppress minorities and crush dissent. Using it to try and win stupid pointless arguments about camping of all things really sqiucks me out.
