Appeal to Consequences

The Fallacy

Saying something isn't true just because the truth makes you feel sad or scared.

Why it's wrong

The truth is the truth, no matter how it makes you feel. You can't just pretend something is fake because it's scary.

Example

It can't be raining outside, because if it's raining, we can't go to the park, and that makes me sad.
