Fallacy Relationship 

When two people are dating only because -
- Their friends hooked them up
- One, or both, owes it to the other
- Are fuck buddies that don't want to be labeled such
- One, or both, is using it as an excuse to not be single
- The two actually deserves one another

Even though the causes for a Fallacy Relationship vary, it can always be characterized by one, or both, of its members heavily neglecting the relationship till need arises.
-"Why didn't your girlfriend to come?"
+"Sorry, I forgot to invite her."
-"I thought you two were attached at the hip?"
+"Oh no, we're just a fallacy relationship."

Fallacy of moral equivalence

When you make a comparison between two things and the person you're tries to argue that you're trying to claim that there is a moral equivalence between one of the things you're talking about and the comparison.
Iam "Fallacy of moral equivalence is such a lazy argument. I'm not saying that you are like Jesus and you're fans are like lepers. What I'm saying is this: Sometimes, in life, we can't always be for people what they want (or even need) us to be. And I see that it pains you a great deal. And that's ok. And I can relate to that. Not because I'm like Jesus..."

Hym "But because I'm better than Jesus. Like, 2 maybe 3 times better. At least. I'm obviously not a filthy leper. If that were the comparison I were making than I would OBVIOUSLY be God because I'm the one watching the thing happened. But then I would be a filthy abomination..."

Iam "I wasn't fin..."

Hym "You were finished. I doubt you even had a point."

Iam "I was going to say that I understand the feeling and that you shouldn't be so hard on yourself. I think back on my life and can see that if I changed maybe 3 things everything would be so radically different that I wouldn't even be the same entity. So, if the present is the future's past, you don't really have to do all that much. Just 3 things."

Hym "That's the problem with the rest of these morons. They're trying to do too much. And they're obnoxious. And they don't give me enough of their things. Everyone needs to give me their things. I need them more than they do."

Fallacy Bias

A bias where someone assumes that if an argument contains any logical fallacy or cognitive bias, the conclusion must be false. This is itself a fallacy (the fallacy fallacy), but as a bias it reflects an overreliance on formal correctness. Fallacy bias shuts down inquiry: instead of engaging with evidence, the critic simply names a fallacy and walks away, acting as if the discussion is over. It mistakes the presence of imperfect reasoning for the absence of truth.
Fallacy Bias Example: “He pointed out a slight ad hominem in her speech, then declared everything she said invalid—fallacy bias, treating a rhetorical misstep as proof of falsehood.”

Fallacy Blind Spot

The universal human glitch where you can spot a logical fallacy in your opponent's argument from a mile away but remain completely oblivious to the identical or even more egregious fallacies riddling your own. It's the cognitive equivalent of having flawless 20/20 vision for other people's dirt but wearing smudge-covered goggles when looking at your own. This blind spot turns every debate into a one-sided game of "Gotcha!" where you're always the catcher, never the caught, because your brain helpfully files your own reasoning under "Common Sense" instead of "Needs Inspection."
Example: "He spent the whole call-out thread meticulously dissecting someone's ad hominem attacks, while his entire opening post was a textbook straw man. Classic fallacy blind spot. He's a fallacy hawk when hunting others, but a fallacy ostrich when it comes to his own writing, with his head buried deep in the sand of self-righteousness."

Fallacy Forging

The act of creating a fabricated or mislabeled logical fallacy and attributing it to your opponent in order to discredit them. This is not simply identifying a real fallacy; it's inventing a non-existent flaw in reasoning, giving it a Latin-ish name, and accusing the other person of committing it. The goal is to weaponize the vocabulary of logic to create a rhetorical "gotcha" that sounds sophisticated but is itself a deceptive construct. It's the equivalent of counterfeit intellectual currency—it looks like a valid critique but is actually a hollow fabrication designed to win points.
Example: "When I pointed out a flaw in his analogy, he shouted, 'That's a classic reductio ad pizza fallacy—you're just reducing my complex argument to a food metaphor!' He'd just forged a fallacy on the spot. There's no such thing, but it sounded academic and shut down the conversation, which was his real goal." Fallacy Forging

Fallacy Crafting

The skillful, artful construction of an argument that is deliberately built upon a hidden or obscured logical fallacy, making it persuasive and difficult to dismantle. Unlike the blunt instrument of fallacy forging, this involves weaving the flawed reasoning seamlessly into the narrative, using emotional appeals, selective data, and elegant language to disguise the underlying error. It's sophistry as a fine art, creating a beautiful, compelling castle built on a rotten logical foundation.
Example: "Her viral thread was a masterpiece of fallacy crafting. It used a moving personal anecdote (appeal to emotion), implied correlation meant causation with sleek graphs, and dismissed counter-evidence as 'elitist' (ad hominem). Each piece was crafted to feel true, making the overall conclusion—though logically bankrupt—spread like wildfire."
