When people claim something is automatically right because a large number of people are saying it. You can have a scenario with a hundred idiots and all their mates vs 1 clever person on their own. The karma system on reddit is probably the most egregious implementation of this idea tbh since people blindly assume upvotes = 100% correct in all scenarios
Person A: that game has bad reviews so it must suck. All my mates said it suck so it must be true
Person B: have you played it yourself? Sounds like Ad Populum to me
Person A: huh?

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

The Wal Mart ad telling black guys they are kings limits them to be one kind of black guy, when really there are all kinds of black guys. Some are kings, some are jesters, some are soldiers, some are workers, some are troubadours, some are artists or poets, some are athletes, some are farmers, and the list goes on, just like any other group of people.
The one who made the Wal Mart ad telling back guys they are kings most likely wasn't black (or male). The one who benefits the most from it most likely isn't black (or male).
