>noooo you can't call me out on hypocrisy, it's totally ok for me to accuse others of what I'm doing and if you point it out it's a logical fallacy!

its a conditionally useful tool. it can like most named fallacy, be invoked retardedly as some kind of talmudic law when it is more meant to help on topic discourse and isnt always applicable.

It's such a stupid so called fallacy because a lot if the time we're talking about areas where there is an expectation of moral rules or legal treatment that's equally applied to everyone.
