Either way, I don’t know why, but if I don’t want to read email from a certain source, I just feel cleaner if I don’t receive them at all. Why receive shit just to put it in storage. Seems wasteful. It’s stored on actual hardware somewhere. Not a lot of course, but all them giggerbites add up yanowutumsayin?
I don’t understand why you keep going about the exact part I’m telling you I’m not interested in?
I don’t want to know why everyone does this particular thing. I just want people stop using the argumentative fallacy of “everyone does X, so X is fine/good”.
Everyone here is continuing to fixate on the X part, but I’m only commenting on the argumentative fallacy itself, which is separate from the instance of X in this case.
Please, no more? Alright?
… So how did the trailer make you feel?
😄😉
Nah kidding I get your point, although we could argue that there is merit in doing something a certain way because everyone is doing it that way.
Yeah, I mean, sure, it definitely depends on what it is. But if we want to use such an argument, there’d have to be a reason attached as well. Like, “everyone does it, and it’s for a reason, namelyyyyyy…”, you know what I mean?
The argument on its own is just empty. 🤷♂️
you judged the trailer for being something it was never expected to be
I didn’t do that. I simply judged the argument of “that’s usually what is done”. That’s not a good argument.
I don’t have much against the trailer itself, can we let that part go? I only here oppose the argument of “everybody does it”. That’s what I had an issue with from the start.
👍👍
🤷♂️ I guess I’m only interested in certain types of trailers. And that’s the real argument right there, which is valid, that there are different kinds of trailers. That’s perfectly fine.
But my main gripe, regardless of the topic, is to say “everyone does it so it’s fine”. There are very few instances of that being a valid argument. I can think of linguistics as one example. 😄
Don’t suddenly start acting like it’s this huge problematic practice when it’s literally how every piece of media uses announcement trailers
You’re literally using the exact same logic here, again. We can again distill the argument and these examples as, “everyone does it so it’s not a bad thing”.
Secondly, it doesn’t have to be a “problem”, sure, but it’s not a good representation of what to expect. Nobody’s saying it’s a “huge problematic practice”. It’s just annoying. The best trailers to me are just… gameplay. Anything else would be a teaser.
Thirdly, it’s not really “suddenly”. It’s been like this for a long time and I haven’t ever liked it. It’s just the first time you’re hearing me say it.
Fourth…ly? One is allowed to feel like it is a problem, too, if that would indeed be how one felt about it. 👍
That sounds a bit conflicting… People remember their first impressions. Probably even apply for refunds and don’t intend to try again. The rest of us weren’t really interested to begin with, I guess.
