Blind Hate Idiot (BHI) - Someone who hates Disney Star Wars only because they hate women and black people. "I DIDN'T LIKE IT, SO EVERYTHING SUCKS!!!" is what they caw amongst their murder of crows while watching the critically acclaimed "Disney's The Acolyte" tv show on Disney+ (streaming now!) Be warned! BHI's are also extremely prone to cousin humping.
That Blind Hate Idiot can't see the artistry in the Acoltye because he's blind, an idiot, and full of hate!

Get the Blind Hate Idiot mug.This type of fallacy is a mix of the "hasty generalization" fallacy and the "association fallacy."
Village Idiot Fallacy: This fallacy occurs when Person A highlights a foolish argument made by Person B and criticizes it. Person A then wrongly assumes that anyone remotely associated with Person B also holds the same foolish belief. This fallacy is often applied to entire groups, especially in online discourse. The term "Village Idiot Fallacy" comes from the idea of pointing to the village idiot and then assuming the entire village shares his beliefs, illustrating guilt by association.
Hasty Generalization: This fallacy occurs when someone makes a broad generalization based on a small or unrepresentative sample. (Person A is making a generalization about a group of people based on the beliefs or actions of one individual, the "village idiot.")
Association Fallacy (Guilt by Association): This occurs when someone asserts that qualities of one thing are inherently qualities of another, merely by an irrelevant association. (Person A is claiming that the whole group shares the same beliefs and qualities of the "village idiot" simply because they are associated with him.)
Combining these concepts this is how "The Village Idiot Fallacy" manifests itself.
