      A strawman argument is where they put up a false version of the argument I was making and argue against it instead. Such as pretending I was arguing media should have zero message whatsoever, instead of the actual argument I was making, which was that entertainment should be a higher priority than the message

        ok i think i get it, so for example making the argument be about “shows shouldn’t prioritise pushing a message over quality” when that’s completely irrelevant to the topic at hand would be an example of a strawman argument, yes?

        also i’m still waiting on an answer for what message the show is pushing
