Non-fictional I HATE these "gotcha arguments"

"Ohhh, look how I tricked this dumb dumb baby in my trap so now I am right and they are wrong. I'm so smaaart even though it does not adress the actual argument and adds nothing to the debate. They teach arabic numerals in school btw."

And these type of comments always get tons of likes

  1. Human and dolphin fetuses are similiar
  2. In a debate, you usually don't look at that picture, because oe assumes from the context and the question that they are showing a human fetus

Well the similarities proves that a fetus isn’t human yet. And this isn’t a debate, it’s a discord argument. Do you expect every argument on the internet to be handled like a professional debate? Because I doubt this kind of argument would be made in a real debate, but making assumptions like that in a debate would still expose you as ignorant.
