Honestly, I’ve seen a few different definitions for it, from an argument that’s just meant to br antagonistic, another is that it’s one where the one making seeks to win no matter what, another is where the person making it knows it’s wrong but makes it anyway.
Can anyone nail down what arguing in bad faith actually is for me? If so, that’d be great.

It is largely a ‘catch all’ for many common fallacies. Essentially you are either changing the facts essentially to ‘well what about’ (insane situation that is not actually being discussed) to try and get the other party to either concede their point or defend it despite these new facts. It isn’t the same as a straw man argument but it is similar
