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.

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.

Pointing out a certain contraband or prohibited action alike which only implies said person pointing it out also knows or is involved in said prohibition.

A hypothesis that predicts a pattern of hypocrisy from prominent figures in entertainment, politics, etc. It posits that, "the louder someone is for a value of ethic and/or moral behavior, the less likely they actually subscribed to it in their personal lives." The name comes from the stereotypical "Christian values" conservative who supports anti-LGBTQ legislation, only to get caught leaving a gay bar or sleeping with a male prostitute. This isn't isolated to such cases, as the Gay Republican fallacy applies to any case of a public figure who's a proponent for a specific cause/value getting outed for actions that contradict their advocacy. This can be a celebrity who's a big supporter of feminism, only to get ousted for having a history of predatory behavior. It could also be a reality TV show husband whose a proponent of "traditional family values" and being loyal to your wife getting caught having an affair or an account on an adult chat site. Maybe is comes from a place of guilt or self-loathing, or maybe these individuals' public personas are a self aware grift to draw up support from specific demographics (the religious, the politically correct, etc.). The answer is unclear, but the Gay Republican fallacy always has been and always will be; as ling as there's a celebrity or politician ruins their reputation by being a complete hypocrite.
Wow, James Franco hopped on the #metoo movement, only to get ousted for using his acting school to pressure female students into sleeping with him. Just another example of the Gay Republican Fallacy.
