    He didn't lead with Godwin's, and even if he did, he acknowledged it and it served a specific purpose. I'm not sure how you knock somebody for being straight up. We're supposed to be adults. It's hyper childish to not be able to talk about hard things

    If you're confused on why I say "he didn't lead with Godwin's", it's because Godwin's is an observation of what happens in discussions. It says: the longer a discussion goes on, the more likely Hitler is to be mentioned. Using Hitler or Nazis in an argument is not Godwin, but that doesn't stop everybody from thinking it is. Godwin himself said it's a satirical observation about the internet, and if you were to try to be serious about it statistically, you can replace "Hitler" with any other thing, and it would still be accurate, because the law is basically "the longer something happens, the more likely something else is to happen".
