But I Don't Know What This Term Means Fallacy

An inverted strawman where the person denies the applicability of a term by claiming ignorance of its meaning. The classic form: someone accused of racism says "you can't call me racist because I don't even know what racism means." The move uses claimed ignorance as a shield—if I don't know the term, the term can't apply to me. The fallacy lies in treating ignorance as innocence, not knowing as not being. But actions have meanings regardless of the actor's vocabulary. Not knowing what racism means doesn't mean your actions aren't racist; it just means you're ignorant, not innocent.

But I Don't Know What This Term Means Fallacy "I pointed out his pattern of discriminatory comments. Response: 'I don't even know what racism means, so you can't call me racist!' That's But I Don't Know What This Term Means Fallacy—using ignorance as a defense. Not knowing the word doesn't mean the behavior isn't real. Ignorance isn't innocence; it's just ignorance."

No roles I didn't personally assign allowed

No. He's just inventing a role for himself that he doesn't actually have and his plan hinges on his ability to trick people into believing that he is something he know that he's not.

Hym Iam "No roles I didn't personally assign allowed. They aren't anything to in relationship to me. They're not my partner, boss, friend, family, associate, collaborator, bro or anything else to me and have no say in anything I do or receive. And they are nothing to you either."

I won’t

I can't turn it off
I can't flip the switch
I can't be alone with you even in a crowded room
And not feel it
I can't read your mind
If I should go or stay
Am I easy to forget or do you regret
Meeting me in the first place

I won’t ever stop loving you!
