How on earth are all these definitions allowed to be on here?They're absolute rubbish! Godwin is a certified G and a bonafide stud and you cant teach that. His only disadvantage is that he blows people away with his razor sharp wits and dashing looks.

Godwinning is dangerous in two ways:
1. It desensitizing people about Nazism real harm, because it's easy to compare everything with Nazi, right?
2. It promotes echo chamber and kills democracy since godwinning is a perfect form of censorship which blocks and shuts down any dissenting opinion, thus expect any groupthink or opinionated, close minded people, or even worse: Totalitarian and Orwellian society when your behaviours are dictated to the very detail
3. It didn't solve anything. Want a difable friendly place? Build it. Want a gender and sex equal zone? Start it by stop making rape jokes---Godwinning is a perfect example of slacktivism
