For you to deserve to be called a ... you shouldWhat is it called when someone tries to manipulate someone into behaving a certain way by questioning core identity characteristics valued by the other person, if the other person doesn't behave as the manipulator wants. It can come into two forms: "You don't deserve to be called a man if you don't want to fight". It reminds me a bit of stereotyping (the fallacy) but it doesn't cover all the cases where this tactic is used. For example it can be used even when the claim is not a somewhat accepted stereotype. Then it reminds me of the definist fallacy, which doesn't cover though the "you don't deserve to be called" subtype which in turn is a bit similar to no true scotsman but not quite exactly. Is there a more specific name for that kind of rhetoric? |

Claims are constantly being made, many of which are confusing, ambiguous, too general to be of value, exaggerated, unfalsifiable, and suggest a dichotomy when no such dichotomy exists. Good critical thinking requires a thorough understanding of the claim before attempting to determine its veracity. Good communication requires the ability to make clear, precise, explicit claims, or “strong” claims. The rules of reason in this book provide the framework for obtaining this understanding and ability.
This book / online course is about the the eleven rules of reason for making and evaluating claims. Each covered in detail in the book.

I agree with all of your mentions of fallacies, especially no true scotsman . Who says one is not an X if they don't do Y? Could also be a form of gaslighting... making people think that it is the case that you must do x to be y when it is not the case. Other than that, it just appears to fall under rhetoric and possibly manipulation. |
