Regarding your failure to understand synonymous terms, deflection literally is referring to a psychological defense mechanism of shifting blame away from yourself or your group, whereas I have no horse in this race and I'm offering criticism of the premise itself. Otherwise any time you bring up something else in a discussion would be called deflection.
The problem with getting upset about this is that it ignores the underlying problem (actual toxic masculinity). When someone calls you out on ignoring the root of the issue and you get upset that you got called out, calling it deflection shows how disingenuous you are when acting like you really care about the problem.
Usually the disingenuous actor's playbook goes like this: Step 1: *accuses critics of deflecting* Step 2: *doubles down* Step 3: *ad homs*
You're on step 2 now.
Ooooh, FlameTurtle, alright. Back from your banning already, eh?
Call it what you will, but I wasn't referring to that. I was referring to a deflection of the argument. Because, by the ACTUAL DEFINITION, that is deflection.
And I don't care about the problem. I never did. I just posted to say you were deflecting, which you did.
Twist it into any psychological term you want, because it's not the term I was using. Lol. ---
