Comment on Context is for people that read US news

Also, what year did it come out, and was it before Platner got the tattoo? Cause if that’s the only media representation you’re gonna rely on, obscure as it is, it doesn’t help your argument that he knew what it was if it wasn’t even out yet

I feel like you didn’t read this:
You asked for “a single screenshot” and claimed people couldn’t produce one, I showed you a whole sketch specifically about the symbol, and now the goalposts have moved to “high definition photos that I personally see on a daily basis.”
Where exactly did I make that argument?

Okay, I guess you’re just gonna ignore the entire context of this conversation and call it “moving the goalposts.” Whatever.

I chimed in to correct a false statement that you said and now you’re trying at assign a bunch of bullshit I never said to me. Whatever.

A false statement? That I had never seen or heard of the symbol before reading about it in the context of Platner, and that I find it very believable that he didn’t know what it was when he got it?
When precisely did you correct that? I’m not sure how you even would.
You showed an example of a media clip that I’ve never seen, that likely hadn’t even come out yet when Platner got his tattoo. How does that change anything about what I said?
Clearly you’re ignoring the context of the conversation in favor of a cheap gotcha, and it’s not working.
