Another player who was at the table during the incident sent me this meme after the problem player in question (they had a history) left the group chat.

Felt like sharing it here because I'm sure more people should keep this kind of thing in mind.

I just got here, but I'd guess it's because their comment reads like they are saying "no, facists aren't the bad guys, both sides show contempt for the weak sometimes!" It's a false balance fallacy.

I'm not sure if that was the intention, or it was just unfortunately worded.

    It is - in your strawman argument. Because they've just said that evil is not limited to fascists and described how.

    I agree with every word and the tone too. There are plenty of people with "contempt for the weak" who for whatever reason disagree that they are dirt.

    It's an attack at dishonorable people, and if you have the need to resort to strawman arguments, then maybe it has something to do with you.

    You asked why the comment was getting downvoted. I responded with how the comment could be interpreted in a way that warrants downvotes.

    You seem to have taken that proposed explanation very personally for some reason.

    I took it personally because you've put that "implying Nazis were not as bad" part as if it's normal thought process. It's really not, I only see such when the one expressing it has already made up their mind and is just trying to silence\condemn the initial commenter. I haven't ever seen that IRL being expressed sincerely. It's always "burn the witch".
