The Koopa Fallacy refers to a theoretical phenomenon when one group that contradicts itself is percieved as two groups with contradictory views.
This happens in internet fandoms where many users interact anonymously, and one finds it reasonable to assume that any contradictions are the result of disagreements between smallar groups when in fact it is one group being unreasonable and contradictory.
The name stems from the Goomba Fallacy, explaining the opposite phenomenon of two groups with contradictory view being mistaken as one.

"This fandom is demanding realism and wacky mechanics at once! Surely it's simply a disagreement within the fandom."
"No, the same accounts asking for realism are also asking for a cartoony style as well. It's Koopa Fallacy."

A phrase created by John R. Williams III in early 2024.
The fault-to-ratio fallacy refers to the mistaken reasoning where someone dismisses an individual’s entire set of beliefs or arguments simply because they hold one or a few demonstrably false or flawed views. This fallacy ignores the "ratio" of truths to faults, assuming that one error invalidates all other ideas or arguments, even if some of them are inherently correct or well-founded.

Example:
Person A: "I believe the Earth is flat, but I also believe that 2+2=4."
Person B: "Since you believe the Earth is flat, everything you say must be wrong."
Here, Person B commits the fault-to-ratio fallacy by rejecting Person A’s correct belief (2+2=4) because of their incorrect belief about the shape of the Earth. Instead of evaluating each idea on its own merit, they discredit all ideas based on one fault

In John 1:21 it says the prophet! If its not jesus (since hes the messiah) and its not john the baptist or elijah, therefore its muhammad! This is a Muhammad of the gaps fallacy.

Get the Vaush-Goblin Fallacy mug.The Skill Issue Fallacy is when a person, who via indirect means of exposure, says that a certain media is bad, then when they finally get to experience it, they don’t take it seriously because of their low expectations. This leads to them having an objectively unenjoyable time, later reinforcing their unproven belief that the certain media is bad and continuing the loop.
The Skill Issue Fallacy can be found most often in debates about similar video games, such as between Terraria and Minecraft, Valorant and Counter Strike, etc. While the fallacy is not inherent towards a specific group of players or fandoms, reviews from people with no prior, direct experience with the media, people who had an initial, coincidental negative experience, or reviewers who previously fell victim to the Skill Issue Fallacy while consuming said media, exhibit noticeable traces of the fallacy. Some examples are, but not limited to: vague/irrelevant/a lack of evidence (“Terraria sucks because its 2D graphics are bad”), cherry picked reasons (“Valorant’s ability mechanic sucks because of the lack of balancing”), and reaching (“Minecraft’s community sucks”).
This fallacy doesn’t have just limited to a few individuals either. Large groups of people can be deluded and herded into the fallacy because of viral videos posted by those who fell for the fallacy prior, causing a chain reaction of falling for the fallacy when the target media is sometimes actually peak.
