Hypothetical Warfare

Definition

The infuriating debate tactic where someone continuously counters your hypothetical scenario with an opposing hypothetical, creating an endless loop of "but what ifs" that goes absolutely nowhere. It's the conversational equivalent of two people trying to walk through a door at the same time, except the door doesn't exist and neither does the building.

Example Usage

I was trying to explain my point using a hypothetical, but Jake kept engaging in hypothetical warfare until we forgot what we were even arguing about.

Rule #363

An internet rule stating that if something exists, there's inevitably a Friday Night Funkin' rhythm game mod about it. A testament to both the game's massive modding community and humanity's unstoppable need to make rap battles out of literally everything.
