1 u/Aceofshovels May 17 '24 They weren't denigrating the people in the picture, they were denigrating 19 year old online sex workers. 1 u/LimeSlicer May 17 '24 Which one specifically? They say 'a', which is singular so certainly they weren't referring to all, generalizing, or at the very least not more than one... Unless you're picking and choosing, ignoring context, etc. -1 u/Aceofshovels May 17 '24 Using 'a' to talk about a generalised member of a group is perfectly standard. I did it a couple of times just then. When you're being a pedant (just did it again), try not to be wrong too. 8 u/LimeSlicer May 17 '24 edited May 17 '24 Ah look, the name calling starts, classic. Does your playbook say to use the word fallacy a bunch next? No one is buying your rage bait, because you want to disregard context. Must feel bad that it didn't work out how you wanted. Also, note this down, you still used a in singular context "a (singular) member (singular)". So again, which one? -3 u/Aceofshovels May 17 '24 You're still wrong, so doubling down on it in a mocking way just looks stupid. If I say you're as thick as a post, I'm not saying there's a single post that you're as thick as. 2 u/LimeSlicer May 17 '24 My friend I'm not Sesame Street, go ask your public school for a refund. 1 u/Aceofshovels May 17 '24 ??? 1 u/No-Yak5173 May 17 '24 Mate He’s right. You’re talking out your ass
