The Goomba Fallacy refers to a phenomenon in which two groups with contradictory views are perceived as one group that contradicts itself.
This often happens on internet fandoms where due to large amounts of people interacting anonymously, it creates the illusion of people wanting multiple contradictory things at a time when in fact it is the result of disagreements between multiple sub-groups in the fandom.

"This fandom is demanding realism and wacky mechanics at once! Surely it's simply a disagreement within the fandom."
"No, the same accounts asking for realism are also asking for a cartoony style as well. It's Koopa Fallacy."

Get the Koopa Fallacymug. Fault-to-Ratio Fallacy
A phrase created by John R. Williams III in early 2024.
The fault-to-ratio fallacy refers to the mistaken reasoning where someone dismisses an individual’s entire set of beliefs or arguments simply because they hold one or a few demonstrably false or flawed views. This fallacy ignores the "ratio" of truths to faults, assuming that one error invalidates all other ideas or arguments, even if some of them are inherently correct or well-founded.

Example:
Person A: "I believe the Earth is flat, but I also believe that 2+2=4."
Person B: "Since you believe the Earth is flat, everything you say must be wrong."
Here, Person B commits the fault-to-ratio fallacy by rejecting Person A’s correct belief (2+2=4) because of their incorrect belief about the shape of the Earth. Instead of evaluating each idea on its own merit, they discredit all ideas based on one fault
