It’s not that confusing.
It’s arguing a fallacy implies a false conclusion.
A more common fallacy around here is to claim that merely identifying a fallacy is an instance of argument from fallacy when rejecting invalid arguments is logical.
I don’t know what you’re trying to say.
When someone identifies a fallacy & ends it right there, what do you expect them to do?
Pretend your argument doesn’t suck?
No one needs to waste their time with someone else’s unsound reasoning.
Thought that argument was so good you came over here to point at it, let me know?
It’s not an “argument”, anymore than “apples are fruits” is an “argument”. It’s stating a simple fact. It’s fallacious to conflate panels 1 and 3, and imply (via the 4th panel having the woman say she was correct to expect both characteristics in the same man) that the men who express the sentiment in panel 1 are the same ones who should be expected to react immaturely to honest/direct rejection.
If you write a comic where a person sees someone else do two things one after the other, and then expresses that they correctly expected them to do the second thing after seeing them do the first, that is a very obvious endorsement of assuming that people who do the first thing also do the second thing.
If it was a black guy who said he liked sports in panel 1, then she asked in panel 2 what sport was his favorite, and then he said basketball in panel 3, and panel 4 was identical (“Yup, that’s about what I expected!”), would you really think it was some crazy outlandish interpretation to read that as ‘the artist is saying that it’s correct to assume that black guys who like sports favor basketball’?
this isn’t an argument, nor a statement. For all we know, it’s an anecdote. Perhaps, even a dream.
Every comic is a logical fallacy if you can’t identify a logical fallacy.
If you really want to tie your brain into a knot, consider that every Argument From Fallacy is a Fallacy.
That’s my favorite one. I have a personal fallacy where I don’t believe anyone who brings up fallacies. You’re a liar and a thief.
Fuck me. Can’t argue with that logic.
That’s already known as ad hominem. Good job rediscovering it.
You just follow me around with your silly little snarks and not getting jokes, doncha? Nice to see you again.
You go around paying too much attention to names?
“How dare you recognize me as the person being a pissant to you before!?”
Only my friends :)

When the comment begins and ends with “That’s an <X> fallacy” and ending any further introspection?
“My mom said the sky is blue”
“That’s an Argument from Authority! Fallacy!”
When “fallacy!” becomes a thought-terminating response, it’s just debatebro shit.

This one very obviously contains a logical fallacy, though.
Did you just link to yourself? Thought that argument was so good you came over here to point at it, let me know?
Either way, your premise is incorrect because this isn’t an argument, nor a statement. For all we know, it’s an anecdote. Perhaps, even a dream.
Yes, why write the same comment twice?

You’re just being deliberately obtuse now.
No I’m not.
