A fallacy and metafallacy where one invokes "objective truth" not as a genuine commitment to inquiry but as a rhetorical weapon to legitimize their own worldview while delegitimizing all others. The fallacy lies in claiming that one's framework simply is objective reality, that one's conclusions are truth itself, and therefore that any alternative is not just wrong but unreal. It's a metafallacy because it preemptively immunizes one's position from critique—if you claim to speak for objective truth itself, then challenging you is challenging reality. The Objective Truth Fallacy transforms the legitimate pursuit of truth into a cudgel for intellectual domination, using the concept of objectivity to shut down inquiry rather than advance it.
Example: "He didn't argue that his view was supported by evidence—he claimed it was objective truth, and that anyone who disagreed was simply denying reality. Classic Objective Truth Fallacy: using the concept of truth to avoid having to demonstrate it."
