I don't think the slippery slope argument is a fallacy, it can be a genuine concern that is too easily written off as a "fallacy".

But what's next? All known fallacies becoming "genuine concerns"?

What I mean is that just writing off someone's concerns because it is a so-called fallacy instead of actually addressing their concern isn't ideal.

"This actually isn't a slippery slope because $REFUTATION" is better than "That's just a slippery slope fallacy".
