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!

Nobel Savage Fallacy (not to be confused with the Noble Savage Myth) is an error in reasoning by which incidental commonalities between modern scientific theory/technology and ancient cultural expressions are claimed to support a conclusion that the ancients must have had access to modern knowledge.
The fallacy is usually committed by those with an at best shallow understanding of either modern science, ancient cultures, or - frequently - both.
It is commonly committed by those seeking to bolster the foundations of their modern cultural hegemony by arguing that the purported central tenets of its ancient precursors were rationally developed, and any deviations from those traditional norms are movement away from the ostensibly scientific ideal.
It is also frequently deployed by charlatans attempting to sell products or services derived from ancient techniques, who wish to gain a veneer of scientific plausibility for their offerings - that they in no way deserve.

"No, dude, those symbols do not mean they had spaceships, even if they look a little bit like that rocket Bezos made - mistaking what is obviously a poorly-drawn penis for a spacecraft is just the Nobel Savage Fallacy!"
"Babe, Gwenyth can say whatever she likes - but stuffing that crystal up your coochie is not gonna cure anything, even if the Biddelonians have been doing it for centuries... yes, I've heard of phototherapy, but that crystal isn't gonna refract any light up there, it's just another Nobel Savage Fallacy!"

When someone in an argument argues the semantics of a word/phrase, rather than making a retort against the other person's argument.
Person 1: No lolis aren't children, they're actually young-looking women.
Person 2: Nice Vaush-Goblin Fallacy loser

Making an assumption that, since there are REASONS WHY some thing exists, therefore that thing does NOT exist.
Rashaan: The "gender gap in pay" is a myth! The fact is that women CHOOSE lower paying jobs so they can spend more time with their family.
Han: So, the fact that women make less money than men is false, because there is a reason women make less money than men? Look out, big brain time! Sounds like you've committed the Dingus Fallacy.

One-sided coin fallacy occurs when a person only looks at one side of things, hence ¨one-sided coin fallacy¨. It occurs when someone argues that an action can exist while being completely oblivious that said action must have an opposite reaction.
Person A: Why are governments so stupid man? They can just raise the minimum wage to get rid of poverty.
Person B: Lol, that´s a one-sided coin fallacy. You can´t only look at the minimum wage going up, you also need to realize that companies paying more on wages will just make all their products more expensive.
