An appeal to emotion, when you’re trying to prove your case on its logical merits alone, isn’t helpful.

X is good because y and z are true. As opposed to X is good because all my friends like it.

Most often appeals to emotion are kind of necessary. Issues are rarely so black and white as try be purely logical.

Ex is good because when my homies drop ex they have a great night. No Ex is bad for you. But consenting adults being what they are… Etc etc.
