I think of this comic anytime someone does the mental gymnastics to acknowledge something is fake, but then continue to use it as evidence supporting their beliefs.
“Yea well you might have proved that my video of a seagull driving a truck was fake, but here’s a bunch of videos of seagulls doing other things, so there!”
Except the “seagull driving a truck” in your case was OP already pointing out it was satire and not that it was true while your “bunch of videos of seagulls” is about something different entirely, someone falling for a lie to arrive at a conclusion who refuses to back off from that conclusion when the lie is disproved. You are criticizing OP by alluding to a different situation that is not happening here. Your logic … et tu?

Now what was that you were saying again? Go ahead and reformulate your stupid thought, I’ll wait.
