Inconsistent

I've already addressed this but I'll do it again I guess.

Hym "Anyone accusing me of being inconsistent has either never seen me on an off day or has never seen one of my gaming streams. I talk about liking being polite, I talk about crippling social anxiety around women I'm attracted to, I talk about being too nice to women. On the OTHERHAND, I also talk about being a narcissistic, lazy, asshole with a temper. I think I've said it before that I'm consistent in my duplicity. And, in the context of psychology, I am high in trait openness. Which means my personality is GOING TO BE inconsistent or fluid by temperament more so than someone who is lower in trait openness. So, yeah, I'm about as consistent as I can (reasonably) be... I'm also better than everyone and a genius.... So there's that..."

Inconsistency Fallacy Fallacy

The fallacy of assuming that pointing out an inconsistency in someone's position is automatically a devastating refutation, when in fact inconsistency may be superficial, irrelevant, or even appropriate in complex domains. Human beings are inconsistent; complex realities contain contradictions; different contexts require different principles. The fallacy lies in treating inconsistency as automatically fatal, ignoring that consistency is just one virtue among many—and sometimes overrated.

"You believe in both individual freedom and social responsibility—that's inconsistent! Gotcha!" That's Inconsistency Fallacy Fallacy. Life is inconsistent. Complex positions contain tensions. Pointing out inconsistency isn't the same as showing error—sometimes it just shows complexity."
