    Is this fallacy of loaded presupposition? Imagine that a genre of music emerged that
    Is the example below a fallacy of loaded presupposition?
    "Imagine that a genre of music emerged that had
    interesting music but whose lyrics and accompanying videos were
    entirely devoted to the denigration of a particular race and the
    superiority of another. I doubt that we would believe that self-described
    nonracist people listened only for the artistry of the music and ignored
    the lyrics"

    Thanks!

    Identify the fallacy below
    Which fallacy has been used here? Please identify
    The state cannot prevent us from corrupting our character, nor
    Should it. However, that does not prevent me, as an individual, from
    Deploring the corruption of character in rap. We make a decision
    When we choose to listen to music. The choice to persistently listen
    To a form of music that celebrates thugs, violence, drug dealing,
    Crass materialism, and the denigration of women shows a
    Corruption of character and deserves moral censure.
