Whilst I agree with your point about strawman arguments in general, that isn’t really the case here. The OP explicitly said “It’s funny, and it doesn’t hurt anyone” when, in fact, it does.

I already addressed this here.

This appears to be their primary justification for using it,

Emphasis mine. If someone is handling things by how they "appear to be", instead of how they "are", then the person is simply assuming.

I don't think the rest of your comment is worth my time replying.
