Luffy Fallacy

A humorous twist on the well-known logical fallacy called the “straw man fallacy”, derived from the iconic straw hat-wearing character Monkey D. Luffy in the popular manga and anime series “One Piece.” In the world of informal logic and debate, “The Luffy Fallacy” involves misrepresenting an opponent's argument by substituting it with a simpler, exaggerated, or caricatured version, similar to how Luffy’s whimsical adventures often lead to exaggerated misunderstandings. This fallacy serves as a reminder to engage in fair and honest discourse, avoiding the temptation to create straw man arguments for the sake of convenience or humor.

Person 1: “I think we should invest more in renewable energy sources to combat climate change.”

Person 2: “Whoa, hold on a sec! So you're saying we should just, like, drop giant rubber bands around the world and bounce energy off them? That sounds crazy!”

Person 1: “Whoa, that's a classic ‘Luffy Fallacy’ right there! I’m all for renewable energy, not rubber bands. Let’s stick to the real world.”

Sakkorafas Fallacy

A fallacy people often engage in when attempting to debate someone of superior intellect. It is the presupposition that sakkorafas has the capacity of holding a non ideal position

Eg. Sakkorafa diafwnw

The person questioning the validity of sakkorafas' claim has failed to comprehend that sakkorafas making a mistake cannot be characterized as something that belongs in the realm of possibilities due to foxness

Oh man nathan's fallacy meter started going off after a globetard attempted to debate mr sakkorafas, the sheer ignorance of globies these days is fascinating they are just constantly sakkorafas fallacying

Phallusy Fallacy

When a man wrongly believes that his penis is much larger than is actually is, he is living.

I was with this guy last night who listed "well endowed" on his Tinder profile. Maybe if he was comparing it to his pinkie finger. Girl, that dude is experiencing a phallusy fallacy.

Sad Man's Fallacy

This is the fallacy that a sad man might pull himself out of sadness by going on Tinder/Bumble/etc. The thinking normally follows the idea that mathematically if he swipes right on enough profiles he is bound to find someone with whom to talk. this is false. He will be alone.

"Yeah the 'rona has me bored af. im gonna download tinder, swipe right on everyone and maybe meet some people and waste some time."
'Thats the Sad Man's Fallacy man, theyre not gonna swipe right either way bro. You need to focus on yourself because this is only gonna hurt'

Logical fallacies

A useful set of 'refutational tools' whose usage is mainly seen in random internet arguments but can also equally be applied in the IRL realm too, such as against your wife or your boss. The former scenario is where people often abuse logical fallacies to the point of committing a fallacy fallacy, so be wise and use them sparingly and only as a supplement to your argument.

Also related to non sequitur.

1) Jim called out his boss by using logical fallacies to poke holes in his ridiculous decisions.
2) Tommy used logical fallacies to his advantage in order to expose the inconsistencies in his girlfriend's reasoning with regards to how he should spend his money.
