Mason Bishop Fallacy List

https://www.celebitchy.com/608635/lily_rose_depp_rejects_the_idea_that_she_has_a_career_because_of_nepotism/


Wishful thinking: The article says that Depp would have become famous regardless of her parents for no reason other than the author wanted to say that. “Lily-Rose Depp probably would have always found a way to be famous, regardless of her parents, Johnny Depp and Vanessa Paradis.”

Accent: The author uses capitalized words to emphasize a point, to make their point seem more valid. "We’re not going to think less of these people if they just acknowledge that OF COURSE they had a leg up, of course they had a lot of help."


Hasty Generalization: The author questions the truth behind people with famous parents having to work hard for their success. "I get that so many of these nepotism girls don’t want to say “nepotism,” but do they really believe that they’ve had the same struggles as people without famous parents?" The author is generalizing all 'nepotism girls' in that they believe their struggles are not as significant compared to other girls.
