apelar a...


Explanation:
Por literal que pueda sonar... creo que éste sería un buen equivalente. Aunque por el contexto parece tener una connotación negativa, "apelar" puede referirse a recurrir a un sentimiento para sacar algún provecho. Según Word Reference:

apelar a
2.1 (=invocar) to appeal to
apeló al sentido común para resolver el problema he appealed to people's common sense to solve the problem

Example sentence(s):
  • En retrospectiva, ¿esta persona apeló a una vulnerabilidad tuya?...
