A related practice is the use of a straw man, where instead of addressing your argument directly, an opponent misrepresents (frames) your argument by associating it with something else (the straw man) and tries to make the argument about that instead. For example, suppose you ask your kid to stop playing video games and do his homework, and he replies that you’re too strict and never let him do anything. He has tried to move the topic of conversation from doing homework to your general approach to parenting.
