Q-Ping-Pong

The American political system, where gay men from both major parties passed the keys to each other over the course of several decades, and made it look like they were fighting each other.
We need a new party with a leader who isn't a total fucking clown to emerge so this shitty game of Q-Ping-Pong can end already!

Ping-pong Paddle Fallacy

The act of accusing someone of turning a debate into a pointless back-and-forth ("ping-pong") by merely responding to their points, thereby framing any defense or counter-argument as proof of their own unproductivity. It’s a meta-critique that tries to invalidate engagement itself, suggesting that by playing the game (using the "paddle"), you are automatically proving the opponent's point that the discussion is futile or cyclical. This fallacy seeks a cheap win by declaring the act of arguing to be the losing move.
Example: In a debate about movie preferences, Person A says, "Modern CGI is soulless." Person B offers counter-examples of expressive CGI. Person A retorts, "Stop swinging the ping-pong paddle fallacy—you're just proving my point that fanboys will defend anything by arguing endlessly." Here, the very act of offering a rebuttal is twisted into evidence of blind fandom, shutting down the exchange.

Ping-pong Game Fallacy

The accusation that an entire discussion has degenerated into a repetitive, unresolvable rally of objections and counter-objections with no progress, and that continuing to participate is inherently irrational. The person deploying this fallacy appoints themselves the referee who declares the "game" pointless, often to mask their inability to land a substantive point or to escape a losing position. It invalidates the process of dialectic by dismissing it as childish play.
Example: Two philosophers are deeply engaged in a nuanced email thread exploring a contradiction. A third person interjects: "You two are stuck in a ping-pong game fallacy. This is just intellectual circle-jerking that goes nowhere." This unfairly reduces a complex, evolving dialogue to a mere game, aiming to discredit the entire endeavor rather than engage with its content.
