Why doesn't everybody stop everything? Why ever bring it up? Why ever be confronted? Why ever think about anything? Why ever face anything challenging about ourselves?
Because people thought they could say things that they didn't think through and thought everybody would agree with them.

It was four movies spaced over 11 years that grossed $955 million dollars, so actually it's a great analogy.
And - just saying "your supporting arguments are certainly fallacious" does not impress me - you want to debate it, debate it, otherwise you're just spinning and misdirecting.
