When you bring up an outside example to knock it down it's called a strawman.

Sheesh you're stupid.

That is incorrect.

Using an example or metaphor to refute someones argument is NOT strawmanning.

Shi shi, what they're saying isn't a straw man. If anything it's a a red herring, but it seems valid in the discussion
