Goomba Fallacy

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.
"First fans wanted a larger cast, and now they want a smaller cast, these people don't know what they want!"

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'

Fallacy Relationship

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.
-"Why didn't your girlfriend to come?"
+"Sorry, I forgot to invite her."
-"I thought you two were attached at the hip?"
+"Oh no, we're just a fallacy relationship."

The Subaru Fallacy

The common mistaken belief that all people who drive Subarus are gay, just because all lesbians drive Subarus.
Christie: Hey Joe, you're a flaming homosexual because of those navy blue briefs! Steve: No way. I'm an expert on men's underwear. Like Rick from Pawn Stars calls me when he has questions. This js just a classic example of The Subaru Fallacy!

JPEG fallacy

A logical fallacy where one reductively presents an idea or object in terms of it's basic fundamental parts, missing the point of it, often to make an argument seem more simple or valid than it would be with the added context, similarly to how detail is lost with the compression of a JPEG.
Person A: (raging at a game)
Person B: "Why're you getting so mad? It's just pixels on a screen, bro." (An example of the JPEG fallacy, because sure, it is "pixels on a screen", in the most basic sense, but it's grossly reduced.)
