Your weekly logical fallacy: appeal to emotion

Third week of this series and for this one I present you appeal to emotion! You attempted to manipulate an emotional response in place of a valid or compelling argument. Appeals to emotion include appeals to fear, envy, hatred, pity, pride, and more. It's important to note that sometimes a logically coherent argument may inspire emotion or have an emotional aspect, but the problem and fallacy occurs when emotion is used instead of a logical argument, or to obscure the fact that no compelling rational reason exists for one's position. Everyone, bar sociopaths, is affected by emotion, and so appeals to emotion are a very common and effective argument tactic, but they're ultimately flawed, dishonest, and tend to make one's opponents justifiably emotional. Example: Your family didn't think it was right for you to let you be nude with others that you are not in a romantic relationship. They said that such a thing would cause your grandparents shame and how could they ever go back to their church knowing you enjoyed such activities?
