> *Reductio ad absurdum* (Latin for "reduction to absurdity") is *a form of argumentation that disproves a statement by showing that its logical conclusion is absurd, contradictory, or untenable*. It works by assuming a premise is true, following its logic to a ridiculous result, and thus proving the original premise false.

The similarity is: they are both biggoted pieces of fiction, and there is no ethical consumption of biggotry. Even if you pirated it.
