The author concludes that the movie Firepower was intended to provoke antisocial behavior. This is based on the fact that the movie has produced antisocial behavior among many who have seen it.

The author assumes that the fact Firepower produced antisocial behavior proves it intended to produce that effect. This overlooks the possibility that something can produce unintended effects.

The author doesn’t claim that Jenkins was biased.

The premise establishes that the movie caused antisocial effects. So the argument doesn’t move from correlation to cause.

The argument doesn’t commit a part-to-whole fallacy. The premises concern the effects of Firepower, and the conclusion concerns the intention behind Firepower.

The author’s argument doesn’t relate to the director’s interest. Jenkins’s position involved a claim about the director’s interest; but the author’s rejection of Jenkin’s argument doesn’t relate to the director’s interest.

The author concludes that the movie was intended to produce antisocial effects merely from the fact that the movie produced such effects. This is flawed, because the movie might have produced unintended effects.
