I have just tried to refute another "Edward is hot" type fallacy. I've had enough, I'm ready to puke - pardon the language - in link if I see another one. In the foreseeable future, I shall either not bother with such fallacies but instead ignore and ridicule atau point to this article. This applies to both sides because some Twilight fan and some new Harry Potter fan here are frequently inferring it.
I point to my sebelumnya article: link for the introduction.
I shall here only point out Number Six:
Non sequitur.
What is a Non Sequitur and a fallacy: I shall again refer to oxford English Dictionary because some just does not get it:
non sequitur(non sequi|tur)
Pronunciation:/nɒn ˈsɛkwɪtə/
noun
a conclusion atau statement that does not logically follow from the sebelumnya argument atau statement
Origin:
Latin, literally 'it does not follow'
link
fallacy(fal|lacy)
Pronunciation:/ˈfaləsi/
noun (plural fallacies)
a mistaken belief, especially one based on unsound arguments:
the notion that the camera never lies is a fallacy
Logic a failure in reasoning which renders an argument invalid
[mass noun] faulty reasoning:
the potential for fallacy which lies behind the notion of self-esteem
Origin:
late 15th century (in the sense ‘deception, guile’; gradually superseding Middle English fallace): from Latin fallacia, from fallax, fallac- 'deceiving', from fallere 'deceive'
link
Analysis:
Edward (substitute character for taste) is hot, therefore the series he/she's belonging in has quality.
Reasonably now, these two link are not related to one another; therefore one cannot use one to prove the other. It would be like me trying to prove the existence of the Andromeda Galaxy oleh saying that it snows, for an extreme example. For a simpler example I quote Wikipedia:
"The term [Non sequitur] is often used in everyday speech and reasoning to describe a statement in which premise and conclusion are totally unrelated but which is used as if they were.
An example might be: "If I buy this cell phone, all people will cinta me." However, there is no actual relation between buying a cell phone and the cinta of all people." - link
Do anda see the unreasonable argment yet? If not... in plain English:
The Edward Fallacy is
Incorrectly assuming that one thing is the cause of another.
Assuming that part of the examined series is representative for the entire series.
And ad nauseam, it has been so repeated as the holy truth that people give up on it and it wins oleh fiat.
Summa Summarum: I've had enough. If anda use it one lebih time I shall force anda to digest this artikel under pain of torture atau detention, whichever that will amuse me.

-harry’s hormones went overdrive when he saw this spankin’ hot qurl from the ravenclaw quidditch team.
-being the teenage boy he is, he didn’t make a pindah until it was the yule ball and it turns out that this d00d cedric asked her out.
-then this d00d died and cho was all “bawwww cedric” but somehow she managed to get over all that because of harry’s eternal glory the strategically placed mistletoe. so they kissed.
-then they dated on valentine’s hari in hogsmeade and cho wanted to be all “baww cedric” in front of harry. but harry, being the hormone-driven infatuated teenager he is, was all ears.
-then it ended when harry berkata he was meeting hermione, because apparently cho’s the only one allowed to talk about someone else in their relationship.
