For you to deserve to be called a ... you shouldWhat is it called when someone tries to manipulate someone into behaving a certain way by questioning core identity characteristics valued by the other person, if the other person doesn't behave as the manipulator wants. It can come into two forms: "You don't deserve to be called a man if you don't want to fight". It reminds me a bit of stereotyping (the fallacy) but it doesn't cover all the cases where this tactic is used. For example it can be used even when the claim is not a somewhat accepted stereotype. Then it reminds me of the definist fallacy, which doesn't cover though the "you don't deserve to be called" subtype which in turn is a bit similar to no true scotsman but not quite exactly. Is there a more specific name for that kind of rhetoric? |

I agree with all of your mentions of fallacies, especially no true scotsman . Who says one is not an X if they don't do Y? Could also be a form of gaslighting... making people think that it is the case that you must do x to be y when it is not the case. Other than that, it just appears to fall under rhetoric and possibly manipulation. |
