why is "no true Scotsman" even a fallacy? - MysteriousWeeb420 - 15-11-2022
when person A says no Scotsman puts sugar on their porridge they clearly don't mean that it's physically impossible for a Scottish person to do that - it's just their way of revealing their personal intepretation of the word "Scotsman" and what it connnotes
legit a fake fallacy along with whataboutism

it's not a fallacy because what constitutes a "true scotsman" is completely arbitrary/practically a joke

Because people use the fallacy to double-down on promoting absolute nonsense. Some people's brains don't work very well, which leads them to think that 'no true Scotsman' is a valid/objective argument (rather than being a fallacy – which it blatantly is), which obviously isn't going to end well in a formal debate.

all "fallacies" are this
appeal to authority: don't care and you're gonna lose this buddy
strawman: this is what i think of you
ad hominem: obviously wrong and i don't like you
