Either you're using "literally" in a non-literal fashion, or you're using it to make your statement even more incorrect.

it's both a literal utterance in the sense of pointing to the denotative meaning of another term (fetishism in this instance) and an inscription, therefore literal in the sense of being a work of literature.

I also could argue that I used that word colloquially as to add emphasis on the confidence I have in my statement, which is also a correct use of the word.

If you care be sure to leave another definiens of 'literal' that would render my post incorrect in your regard. Frankly I would love to learn more about your point of view on the matter

My tip: don't argue with people who know not even the terms they are attempting to criticize the use of. +also they seem to be using a sockpuppet account to upvote themselves and write comments

Maybe, making it as incorrect as possible serves to prove a point which makes statement phrased correctly for the goal in mind?
