Thought that argument was so good you came over here to point at it, let me know?
It’s not an “argument”, anymore than “apples are fruits” is an “argument”. It’s stating a simple fact. It’s fallacious to conflate panels 1 and 3, and imply (via the 4th panel having the woman say she was correct to expect both characteristics in the same man) that the men who express the sentiment in panel 1 are the same ones who should be expected to react immaturely to honest/direct rejection.
If you write a comic where a person sees someone else do two things one after the other, and then expresses that they correctly expected them to do the second thing after seeing them do the first, that is a very obvious endorsement of assuming that people who do the first thing also do the second thing.
If it was a black guy who said he liked sports in panel 1, then she asked in panel 2 what sport was his favorite, and then he said basketball in panel 3, and panel 4 was identical (“Yup, that’s about what I expected!”), would you really think it was some crazy outlandish interpretation to read that as ‘the artist is saying that it’s correct to assume that black guys who like sports favor basketball’?
this isn’t an argument, nor a statement. For all we know, it’s an anecdote. Perhaps, even a dream.
This one very obviously contains a logical fallacy, though.
Did you just link to yourself? Thought that argument was so good you came over here to point at it, let me know?
Either way, your premise is incorrect because this isn’t an argument, nor a statement. For all we know, it’s an anecdote. Perhaps, even a dream.
Yes, why write the same comment twice?

You’re just being deliberately obtuse now.
No I’m not.
