❗❗❗️Fallacy detected: Appeal to authority❗❗❗

Definition given below:
👇👇👇
An argument from authority (argumentum ab auctoritate), also called an appeal to authority, or argumentum ad verecundiam (argument against shame), is a form of fallacy when the opinion of a non-expert on a topic is used as evidence to support an argument or when the authority is used to say that the claim is true, as authorities can be wrong.[1] The argument can be considered sound if the authority is an expert and when all sides of a discussion agree on the reliability of the authority in the given context, and if the argument does not rely on the authority to establish truth.

Yes. I know. He was lying.

In sub continent it is people hobby to blame the victims, and hide the crime.
This is the reason more rape cases and honour killing cases increasing.

In Pakistan 2 movies were banned one for blasmphey and other for honour killings.
No Reason for banning. But Its not new in Pakistan

ISLAMABAD: Pakistan Electronic Media Regulatory Authority (PEMRA) has banned TV drama ‘Hadsa’, over scenes reminiscent of a notorious gang rape case, saying the series would “tarnish” the nation’s image by depicting it as an “unsafe place for women”.

Regulators said the show would be pulled from airwaves due to parallels to the real-life case of a French-Pakistani mother raped in front of her small children after her car ran out of fuel near the eastern city of Lahore.

“Portrayal of such (a) heinous act will not only trigger the trauma of that unfortunate victim but would also tarnish (the) country’s image,” said the order from the Pakistan Electronic Media Regulatory Authority (PEMRA) released on Wednesday evening.adding that it did not portray a “true picture of Pakistani society”.

Lawyer Muhammad Ahmad Pansota told AFP that he had lodged a complaint against the show with PEMRA on behalf of the rape victim.

“She said to me actually that whenever she watches an episode, or how people react when they watch it, she has to go through the entire trauma again,” he said. “She’s not very comfortable with that.”

Episodes four and five of ‘Hadsa’ show a woman and her son being kidnapped and assaulted by a gang when their car breaks down, later revealing the character was raped.

Before the series was censored, actress Hadiqa Kiani, who plays the woman, said it was not based on real-life events.

“Unfortunately, the horrific act of rape and violence happens far too often in our society,” she wrote on the social media site X.

“‘Hadsa’ is not based on any one person’s story, it is based off of a sickly common part of our reality.”

In the wake of the Lahore incident, backlash over victim-blaming and abysmal conviction rates spurred legal reforms, including the establishment of special courts and chemical castration of serial rapists.

Two men were sentenced to death in 2021 for participating in the rape, but have yet to be executed.

Earlier this year, the website Wikipedia was blocked for hosting “blasphemous content”, while ‘Barbie’ movie and the critically acclaimed transgender romance film ‘Joyland’ also fell foul of censors.

How stopping a show will improve image of Pakistan ?
