The Fallacy of The Eagles' Greatest Hits

One in which possession of an object or a shared interest -- e.g., the music of The Eagles or their Greatest Hits album -- fails to indicate any commonality, agreeability, or similar personality between two or more people. As in, just because you have a copy of Eagles' Greatest Hits and someone like Benito Mussolini does too doesn't make you the same type of guy. Coined by a music critic in an interview with VH1.

The Fallacy of The Eagle's Greatest Hits goes like this: Just because you have a copy of Eagles' Greatest Hits and someone like Benito Mussolini does too doesn't make you the same type of guy.

The fallacy of The Eagles' Greatest Hits is like that song, "Breakfast at Tiffany's." Two people have nothing in common but that guy is holding onto a chance with the girl because they both saw Breakfast at Tiffany's and she kinda liked it. Maybe she liked it but that doesn't make you compatible; it means nothing!

Fandom Over Freedom Fallacy

"When you say you're in favour of a political thing, and your fandom thing trumps that political belief."

- SBN3, SoBroRadio 1-31-2021

People who like Harry Potter, but aren't transphobic, are suffering from the Fandom Over Freedom Fallacy.

Pro BLM people who like Dragon Ball Z despite the racist depictions of black people.

Feminists who like Star Trek: The Next Generation despite SEVERAL rapey Deanna Troi episodes.

Good guy bad guy fallacy

A mistake in logic that people make where they lump all people into two cadagories good guys and bad guys. This mistake is made by police,military and other people who have not learned to think.
In fact there is no one who is all good or all bad.

He's making the good guy bad guy fallacy.

Dismissal from emotion fallacy

No, you jackass. That's not how it works. What you're doing is what every idiot on the planet does when there's some sort or disagreement. It's the most common modern fallacy. It's not an official fallacy. It's ORIGINAL. UNIQUE. Which is what I do here. ORIGINAL refutations of morden misconceptions.

Hym "Let's call it 'Dismissal from emotion falacy.' Here's how it's works: You use my emotional state or project a negative emotional state (Anger, Jealousy, Fear) on to me for the purposes of dismissing a proposition or statement. It's fallacious (obviously) because my emotional state has has no baring on the truth of my proposition. 2+2=4 regardless of whether or not I'm angery while I tell you that 2+2=4. My emotional state is irrelevant. And by accusing me of 'Jealousy' you're doing the EXACT SAME THING leftist do when they accuse conservatives of being transphobes or homophobes. Protecting 'Fear' on to them for the purpose of dismissing their propositions. There you have it. 'Dismissal from emotion fallacy' that's the thing you're doing. Look for it. You'll see it all the time. People do it all the time."

Oort Cloud Fallacy

"The Oort Cloud Fallacy occurs when someone argues that something must exist or be true simply because it is theoretically possible or hasn't been definitively disproven—especially when the claim is distant, vague, or unverifiable. The fallacy draws its name from the Oort Cloud: a hypothetical region of icy bodies surrounding the solar system that has never been directly observed but is widely accepted due to indirect evidence."

"Hey John, do you believe God exists." "We have no proof he doesn't so he must." "Oort Cloud Fallacy."

Letterman's Fallacy

The letterman's fallacy is a scenario in which you are asked a basic question and extrapolate your answer in order to gain a better understanding of the question and this in turn is then used against you to gaslight you into a malformed position that you do not necessarily stand for.

The name letterman comes from the fact that it sounds fancy to say.

Person 1: "If you were a goat would you fuck a goat?"
Person 2: "Would I have the brain of a goat or a human?"
Person 1: "Ah so your a goat-fucker"
Person 2: "So you're going to gaslight and letterman's fallacy me wowza"

Idiots Fallacy

The Idiots Fallacy is a logical fallacy where somebody names a logical fallacy instead of formulating an argument; it's a form of The Fallacist's Fallacy mixed with Virtue Signalling and Gaslighting.

Guy: "I just went out to my car, sat down and turned the key, and it didn't start!"

Idiot: "Slippery Slope Fallacy!"

Guy: "No, that's just the Idiots Fallacy."
