This is a bad use of I don't care. Can you give me some good ones?

Original Question

"You may have given me a list of irrefutable problems with Kingdom Hearts which proves it is a bad franchise, but I don't care. I still think it is a good franchise."


Me: My guy, if you truly don't care, you'd simply keep this stubbornness toward that irrefutable list of mine to yourself instead of posting that as a reply toward this comment. What are you trying to achieve with this comment if not for farming likes from blind fanboys and to feel better about yourself?

This just seems like a typical internet flame war.


The use of 'I don't care' seems okay, given we know that the other party is saying here - they 'don't care' in the sense that your 'irrefutable list' doesn't change their like for the game. So it's not necessarily true that if they 'didn't care', they wouldn't reply.

I see no fallacies here. I assume "Kingdom Hearts" is some form of entertainment in which case there needs to be no logical or rational basis for one liking it. They could just like it (affective/emotional).


I would say that your reply might be a little overly-abrasive given the content, but I don't know the history and being a little overly-abrasive is not fallacious either.
