A subcategory of the common strawman fallacy.
A Redditman Fallacy is when a user pushes an agenda by showing a screenshot of a reddit post. This reddit post is usually atrocious in quality or with terrible takes, in which the user may clown and easily defeat the argument in order to push their agenda.
An example of this is clear in politically motivated twitter accounts using screenshots including but not limited to reddit posts
