ad hominem
Definition: instead of using a valid argument you judge your opponent’s character to belittle their argument
Example: Two people could be in an argument about exercise person A could say ” I think we should exercise more regularly to stay healthy” and person B would say “You’re overweight, so why should anyone listen to your advice”
Explanation: person B is attacking Person A’s weight instead of addressing the argument about exercising regularly
