A person entering a, usually controversial, discussion with the most surface-level, stereotype-based, and hyperbolic arguments possible. Their take then becomes the easy go-to meme response that spreads, resulting in a form of Flanderization for the discussion as a whole, cutting any nuance or complexity to the discourse and adding undeserved importance to it.
Some of the more prevalent examples of this are in discussions of Fermi's paradox, where the go to is, "Aliens don't talk to us because we're stupid," despite how much it's implying about the aliens in question. And arguments about America not using the metric system, with the reason often being, "Americans are too stupid and lazy to understand it," forcing a stereotype and ignoring any actual reasons the US hasn't switched over.
Since these arguments are often done for quick validation, they often have little to no research backing them either due to overconfidence of being right, or an unconscious fear of having to think complexly.

This tends to raise ragemetere very fast when you're trying to creep on some hot wimminz.

Get the Recreational pollutionmug. The result of humans, or stupid apes that don't give a fu**. The thing that is irreversible in 10 years (from 2022) and will kill us before any other thing that a common idiot fears. In more detail it's unwanted gasses in the atmosphere that traps sunlight in our atmosphere causing the world to heat up, ice burns to melt, and then oceans rising. Fun isn't it?
