Apologies for the somewhat rant, by the way.
Here I go again with a related one.
“Who asked?” is also dumb, think about it:
Sure, nobody asked for the info, but by that logic, the person saying it should also shut up because they were not asked to make that deliberately clear, and the fact that if you had to be asked to say anything, humanity would be dead silent since by this logic:
No ask, no say.
This isn’t even an argument since by asking “Who asked?”, you are:
Erasing your own argument, whilst you may be using it as shield (for other arguments), you are also evicerating your own credibility
Literally asking
Being unrelated to the topic at hand
Using dumb logic, by of which everybody (including you) should shut up unless they are asked, which is clearly impossible if nobody can say anything.
I really don’t see why people even use this as an argument in general, and apologies if I appear hostile with this - But genuinely, “Who asked?” isn’t an argument either.
