Most-Illogical Arguments You've Ever Heard

[Away 2,077]

I hate it when people say their favorite pony is the best pony. Unless it's Rarity, it's completely bullshit!

 

 

Just Kidding..

Usually when people say that though, they just mean it as their favorite pony. It is subjective after all.

 

People are bad so that's why we need a government made up of people.

lol seems legit

Here's a fun one I just heard a few minutes ago:

 

I said I didn't like the songs in Frozen. They were all pretty shit.

 

I was told "it's because you're a guy"

 

[Away 2,077]

Homosexuality=pedophilia and bestiality: yes there really are people that are saying this and no not all of them are trolling unfortunately.

 

Clopping=bestiality: okay then how do you explain the fact that people did not go out screwing animals despite all the furry porn that has existed long before "clop" even became a thing? And isn't the whole point of having taboos against bestiality because the animals cannot consent to sexual activity while the ponies who have been shown to have human level intelligence probably could if they existed? I believe the term is xenophilia

Sadly, I've heard that argument against homosexuality first hand by my own family ._.

 

And it's wrong to say that clop is a form of zoophilia. It's technically schediaphilia.

It's technically schediaphilia.

I have never heard of that term before so I looked it up on urban dictionary and this is what came up.

 

 

 

Schediaphilia or toonophilia is the primary and exclusive sexual attraction to cartoon or anime characters. A person with this attraction feels love, sexual arousal, or emotional attraction to virtual characters.

 

aside from that description I got a whole lot of nothing.

 

There are people where that description would indeed be accurate, I know someone personally where this is indeed the case but it isn't for me. Yes I am sexually attracted to fictional characters including some of the ponies and have um acted on that if you know what I mean and have a huge crush on Applejack but it is not an exclusive or primary attraction as I am still very much attracted to humans.

I got one that EVERYONE here has heard...

 

"Because I'm your mother and I said so."

Schediaphilia does not have to be exclusive, nor any other paraphilia or fetish. But I know what you mean. Being sexually attracted to a cartoon doesn't automatically make you a schediaphile.

I had no idea there was a specific term for this. This is pretty much me. I find animated/cartoon characters far more attractive, for whatever reason, than most real life people. Been this way literally my entire life.

 

Glad to know there's a name for it now.

I love this one too. More than a few times my mom has pulled the "because I said so" thing and I've never really taken to it. It's times like this that you realize that your mother is not, in fact, infallible.

Actually I prefer the term fictosexual because it is a hell of a lot easier to pronounce, spell and remember.

I've heard Social Justice Warriors argue that the Irish aren't white because they've been oppressed. Someone just did it to me, in fact.

 

I then told him my bloodline(Irish, Cherokee, Blackfoot, German, and Scottish) and told him he should treat me as a PoC(even though I'm white as shit) just to screw with him.

That is just part of another illogical argument I have heard that the only people that could ever possibly be racist are whites, of course it ignores thousands of years of history including the rather inconvenient fact that African tribal chieftains also participated in the slave trade by selling captured prisoners from rival tribes to American and European slave traders. And of course there are all the ethnic and religious matters in Africa, the Middle East and Asia and that Eastern Europe which has quite a few whites has gone through quite a bit of oppression too even before the Soviet Union with centuries of religious and ethnic conflicts. So by their logic Eastern Europeans shouldn't be called white and neither should Italians, around the same time there were signs that said "no Irish need apply" during the immigration boom in the late 19th and early 20th centuries Italian immigrants were also being discriminated against although not quite as much as the Irish I will admit that.

That all Muslims supported 9/11. It really pisses me off when I hear people talk like that! In fact I got into a fight at a bar because some c*nt was islamophobic. By the way, I'm actually Jewish, but I hate racism!

One thing I like about the concept of science is that it makes dogmas an ineffective way to win an argument. People should debate, not argue. I can't stand it when a person's main defence is "I don't care because I'm mad!"

 

Honestly. You're a grown up, so act like one!

Appealing to emotions instead of facts(and assuming feeling strongly about something means your right) is honestly one of the number tactics employed by Tumbr Social Justice Warriors.

I've heard many, many illogical arguments from self-proclaimed "feminists" (the proper term would be "misandrists"), but one of the most amusing by far is the assertion that ANY form of CONSENSUAL intercourse between a man and a woman is always, always, always to be considered rape on the woman's part. I don't know the specific ideology that led them to such a conclusion, but suffice it to say that nothing even remotely resembling logic is being employed in that argument.

Probably the same one that makes some of them believe a woman can't commit rape to the extent they'll defend a child molester if they were female with a male victim(yes, this did happen on Tumblr a while back. I'm not making that up)

I got into an argument with someone over the merits of public schooling. My position was that while it can be helpful it's not always the best learning environment and can do more harm than good. The guy who I was arguing with responded: "But without school no one would know how to have sex and we would die out."

 

 I wish I was joking.

-"America is a Christian nation!" 

 

Christianity as the majority religion, yes, but America is nonsecular. Read the Constitution and take your theocratic BS elsewhere. 

 

-"If evolution is true, how come there are still monkeys?" 

 

 

 

-"The problem with Global Warming is you have to need studies to prove it." 

 

Maybe you should read those studies, you might learn something. And stop calling it "global warming"! 

 

-"Scientists are just making shit up!" or "Scientists just slap an answer onto things!" 

 

No they don't. Learn something about the scientific process then get back to me, please. 

 

-"Evolution conflicts with the second law of thermodynamics!" 

WTF? Not only does it not, the two don't have anything to do with each other in the first place! 

 

-"Well, Evolution is JUST a theory." 

 

Gravity is JUST a theory, too. Try jumping off a cliff and see how that theory works for ya.

To be fair even most of the really crazy ones don't believe that but that sort of BS but it is still cringe worthy as it is disrespectful to both men and women. A lot of guys including me get turned on when she is enjoying it and well I think I and the men and women enjoying some good old fashioned love making know our own individual sexual thoughts a lot better than a bunch of pretentious strangers with an axe to grind do. They are just as bad as a lot of the religious fundamentalists who adopt this ridiculous double standard where men can enjoy sex but any woman that does is automatically a slut. I think that sexual pleasure exists for good reason, people would be less likely to do it and thus reproduce if it didn't feel good.

Sad thing is, the people who claim this are liable to plug their ears and run away the moment you mention the fact that some of our most prominent founding fathers were deists who rejected Christian teachings.

The thing that pisses me off the most about this particular brand of "feminism" - aside from the fact that their willy-nilly branding of things that aren't rape as "rape" necessarily marginalizes real victims thereof - is that these kooks tend to claim that they speak on behalf of all women. In their eyes, any heterosexual woman who enjoys a healthy sex life is somehow a "sex slave brainwashed by her patriarchal owner", and...well, I don't think I even need to remark of the sheer idiocy, sheer disrespect to all human beings this thought process employs. It should speak for itself.

That the deaths of millions under Stalin's terrible regime was the correct and justified approach to industrializing Russia.

 

Because really, what's 40 million lives worth to a 'Communist' teenager who doesn't know what he's talking about?

[Derpyderpderp 65]

The argument that all bronies are gay/bi. So closed minded and untrue... 

[Celestial Wish 349]

the most irritating and illogical argument that girls don't/can't play video games. ._.

[Celestial Wish 349]

also, why is it such a big deal when people have alicorn OCs? let people be what they want, jeez :/

The problem with them is that they got associated to bad design and characterization, not to mention overpowered "black hole sues".
