Urban Dictionary ad hominem

When one posts a definition that may be offensive to a specific audience based on nationality, race, gender etc., and then all the posting individual's definitions receive the same amount of dislikes.

Idiots who do Urban Dictionary ad hominem often times do not have sufficient imagination, vocabulary, or sense of humor to post a response.

After posting the definition belgian shower, my other definitions immediately received the same amount of dislikes. Should have known them Belgians would do Urban Dictionary ad hominem.

Ad Hominem

Woke person's form of argument

Woke people always get pissy during an argument and resort to Ad Hominem attacks. It is like debating children.

Ad hominem campaign

When you run your political campaign based solely on -false and undeserved- ad hominem attacks of your political opponents and their/or their families.

The 2024 race between Trump and Biden is shaping up to be an ad hominem campaign- on both sides mind you.

Ad Hominem Fallacy Fallacy

Incorrectly crying "Ad Hominem!" when someone makes a relevant critique of the speaker's background, motives, or qualifications that legitimately affects the argument's weight. Not all personal remarks are fallacious; only those irrelevant to the topic are. This fallacy fallacy weaponizes the term to immunize speakers from any scrutiny of their bias, conflicts of interest, or expertise, treating all such scrutiny as an illegitimate personal attack.

Ad Hominem Fallacy Fallacy Example: A politician arguing for deregulating Big Pharma is revealed to hold millions in pharmaceutical stock. A commentator notes this clear conflict of interest. The politician's supporters scream "Ad hominem!" This is the Ad Hominem Fallacy Fallacy. The financial motive is not a petty insult; it's a devastatingly relevant fact for assessing the argument's integrity.
