polarized issue 

An issue that has been made to appear black or white, wrong or right, one way or the other. These issues are intended to appear as though there are no other alternatives. People tend to polarize issues in an attempt to further their religious, environmental or political agendas.

"It's a polarized issue, you're either part of the solution or you're part of the problem."

"They polarize the issue to make it look like everyone either supports homosexuality or hates homosexuals."

winter skill issue 

Winter skill issue is the phenomenon in which a person's performance in a video game is significantly worse during winter and its surrounding months, or even just cold weather in general. The causes for winter skill issue could be anything from cold hands making it more difficult to aim in a shooter game or just general discomfort in cold weather translating to worse performance.

Derived from winter + skill issue.

I dropped to Bronze 2 in VALORANT today because of winter skill issue.

I used to be #375 in OCE in April, but now I am #562 and it's July. Bloody winter skill issue.

"When I was in the shower this morning I couldn't stop thinking about that loner kid who came in at work last night and ordered 15 pizzas. What was he up to? ... It was so my shower issue today, dude."

Standard Issue Non-Conformist

I'm sure you already know what this term means, maybe even from experience. If not, it is the Safety Pinned Patches on Overwhelmingly Dark Clothing look, also called emo or goth, but usually lacks originality. This doesn't make a person bad or stupid, but their energy would be better spent distinguishing themselves through some remarkable contribution rather than just violating popular conventions with an attitude.

S.I.N.C. "Why Bother?"

Me: "Why not?"

issue validator 

An organization viewed by the public as authoritative on a particular issue, which provides cover to elected officials for a controversial decision on that issue. In plutocracies such as the United States, in which the boundaries of acceptable political discourse are very limited, the issue validator often serves the additional role of helping to marginalize more populist views. The issue validator typically has an unrecognized conflict of interest which can be anything, though it is most often financial or political. Note that this term should be used with extreme caution, as the user will be instantly revealed as a non-supporter of the plutocracy.

In the following dialog the Fraternal Order of Really Old People is the issue validator:

"Hey Bob! Did you hear about the plan to give every old person a pony?"
"I dunno Andy. I heard that it'll cost a lot and some really old people don't want a pony."
"Nah, Bob. The Fraternal Order of Really Old People supports this plan."
"Well, Andy, if FOROP supports it then I feel better. But wait a second, didn't I read somewhere FOROP has a side-business selling ponies?"
"Nah, Bob. They only license their logo to the finest pony growers. It's totally different."
"Thanks, Andy. Sounds like I got some bad information from a disgruntled blogger."
