Following a discussion elsewhere, I'm thinking that explaining a concept using an analogy may require that the two elements of the comparison have a similar level of emotional implication for both interlocutors.

If you are talking about what I think then it's not a discussion. I don't think one really can discuss with Nazis and other fascists when one isn't one. Only if you already share an ideological basic basic basic basis can you actually discuss.

For example you can't really discuss how to do research with somebody is against science. You can't discuss how to treat immigrants with a eugenicist who wants to kill them. And on and on.

I'm not referring to the "nazi" interlocutor but to the other people involved in the discussion who may not understand.

Everybody in that thread was either a target or a TERF. However, the label for this what you are describing is called "context collapse". A very useful term. http://hlwiki.slais.ubc.ca/index.php/Context_collapse_in_social_media …

Yeah, context collapse is a general label for these situations. I find it useful as you can Google about it. Some really cool research on it too.
