Most supported premises
The Holocaust didn't happen
Your claim that David Irving is the only notable original researcher is unfounded, and your reference (a few doctored photos) is nonsense. There are museums and books full of photos, firsthand accounts, and survivor testimonies; the writings of one denier are not sufficient evidence of anything.

If a man gets a woman pregnant under the impression she was on birthcontrol, and she wishes to keep the child but he does not, then he should be able to opt out of any legal responsibilities
Analogy: a comparison between two things, typically on the basis of their structure and for the purpose of explanation or clarification.

Technology is leading to the de-evolution of humanity
What evidence do you have to support the conclusion that human brain capacity is shrinking?

It is an analogy. You are using a crosswalk and a car as an analogy for sex. This could be seen as a false analogy for many reasons, not the least of which being that being hit by a car is not a consensual agreement between parties, nor can the consequences of it be mitigated by cheap technology.

The gaming industry is free to oversexualize a character.
This implies that all "artistic work" is merely a depiction of behavior, which does not address the wide breadth of artistic expression. As this opens a whole new can of worms, I would argue that the Parent Premise is a Red Herring. Edit: This is not a "False Analogy," as there is no analogy.

False Analogy
The Holocaust didn't happen
Personally, I believe it because my mother is a holocaust historian. She has tens of books on the subject, filled with personal accounts, records, and photos. Furthermore, I've been to sites where it happened. I've been to Auschwitz and Dachau; walked the foundations. I've stood in gas chambers.

PC is better than consoles
Buying games moves more money into the industry. Arguing in favor of buying fewer games is hypocritical of anyone who expects or desires to see quality, growth, and innovation in the gaming industry.

I see what you're trying to say, but the fundamental point you're making is an analogy, at its root. You are comparing deciding to have sex to deciding to cross a road. Whether you want to call that an analogy or not is irrelevant; this is a murky argument, at best.

I understand your argument; you are comparing two different things to draw a contrast in how we attribute responsibility. But your argument is still, fundamentally, 'Choosing to have sex is like choosing to cross a road.' This is an analogy, and no degree of semantic slog is going to change that.

The word of someone can't be considered as a proof.
This conclusion creates the opportunity for anyone to do anything they want to anyone else without repercussion, as long as the perpetrator is not recorded in the process.
