So if an ad were to make fun of how horrible Tesla's Full Self Driving feature is, that would be unfair and misleading? As opposed to the pain simple truth?
One thing can be true and still be unfair. A true thing can be misleading. The ruling exists to make the decision easier and make clearer what is allowed or not and what is good business practices:
"Truthfully and fair talking about your business opponent is hard, so let it be and talk about your own strength instead."
Well, I am not the IAP nor the original comment author. But as far as I understand the rules, every comparative advertisement, that is saying competitor X is bad instead of our product Y is good, has the same problem: X can easily say that the selected feature is just one random pick of a range of features. They may retaliate with some other fact. That may also be factual true, let's say, BYD cars are build without union oversight.
And that starts a negative cycle. You can be in favour of that. It might be entertaining. But by the book that is not allowed to keep advertisement a little more civilized.
Whilst I'm not defending any advertisement at all, one can easily see what happens when it is allowed to talk about your enemies instead of what you provide. Just look at the logical end of this in form of the attack ads of the US political campaigns.
I think the rules are there to prevent a slippery slope. Ads, which I personally oppose as a whole, can always state positive thinks about the own brand.
I also love round based 5E DnD combat and bought BG after new campaigns for Solasta (Crown of the Magister) came to an end. Still a great game with huge 3rd party campaigns due to it's author toolkit/map maker.
Genau meine Reaktion. Gleichzeitig möchte ich mich bei /u/spez bedanken, da dies mir geholfen hat, meinen inneren Schweinehund zu überwinden und hierher zu kommen, denn gegangen wäre das ja schon vorher.

About the name: Wikipedia: Like many other rodents, lemmings have periodic population booms and then disperse in all directions, seeking food and shelter their natural habitats cannot provide. The Norway lemming and brown lemming are two of the few vertebrates which reproduce so quickly that their population fluctuations are chaotic, rather than following linear growth to a carrying capacity or regular oscillations. Why lemming populations fluctuate with such great variance roughly every four years, before numbers drop to near extinction, is not known.
Fast wie bei Loriot. Nur diesmal Schützenpanzer statt Marzipankartoffeln. https://youtu.be/yD22jxD6bf4?
The jump from Wednesday (AUD 2.85) to today was something...
True. But BYD is also a very, very large corporation.

We will see about that. ;-)

You can do as you please as a private person. If you are BYD, VW or Ford one has to play by the rules of the market.

X-Men Phoenix - such a great grafic novel arch and solid movies before that flick. Phoenix writing and acting saddens me.
Maybe, with 'AI agents', code can, for the first time in history, fork itself.
I hate microtransactions.

"Gerne" doch!
