It just bugs me the wording “wrongly questioned” - it’s never wrong to question, you just have to be prepared to accept answers.
Prove to me that you’re not a rapist right now. I’m just asking questions, but you better come back with proof fast before I start spreading the word.
No.
Come on, this is a complete fallacious argument… Being a rapist is connected to actions, which can’t be proven that didn’t happen. This is completely different from measurable and observable properties like “being blonde” or “having certain chromosomes”. You can 100% disagree on having to prove anything, but your example is completely wrong.
But it’s never wrong to question, you just have to be prepared to accept answers.
With that said, this wasn’t a denial.
I was not the person you were answering too. Just a random observer that has underlined the fallacy of that particular argument (it’s hard or impossible to prove things are not or did not happen).
I was being tongue-in-cheek and you still walked right into a hypocrisy trap.
Which hypocrisy…? The whole point of your argument is already addressed. You can’t prove anybody didn’t commit actions. mah…
Not true, ‘just asking questions’ is a common media manipulation tactic.
For example, Why hasn’t Ted Cruz commented on the fact that many people believe he is the Zodiac Killer? It seems pretty odd to me that despite the public outcry, he has made no public statement as to this accusation. Why are you looking at me like that? I’m just asking questions…
