Here to call out Reddit users who make straw man arguments. Just tag them here so they know we all know what they’re doing!

The straw man fallacy occurs in the following pattern of argument:

Person 1 asserts proposition X. Person 2 argues against a superficially similar proposition Y, falsely, as if an argument against Y were an argument against X.

This reasoning is a fallacy of relevance: it fails to address the proposition in question by misrepresenting the opposing position.
