Appeal to Kaffir Fallacy

An Appeal to Kaffir Fallacy is when someone (usually a Muslim) appeals to a disbeliever as a source instead of citing their own.
Guy Named Retirement: You cannot kill children in Islam
Guy Named Kay: What's the source?
Guy Named Retirement: Wally knows the source
Guy Named Kay" Aye! That's an Appeal to Kaffir Fallacy!

Maxwell Fallacy

An over reliance on AI and using AI erroneously. Using leading prompts into large language models that generate a desired response and using that response as proof. The worst kind of fallacy there is. Also posting screen shots of this fallacy is double bad
This is a classic Maxwell Fallacy thinking that you are right just because you asked enough leading questions to get ChatGPT to agree with you! But none of us humans agree with you and we see right past your straw man arguments.”

King Arthur Fallacy

The belief that a society simply needs to elect the right leader and give the leader all the power they ask for, ignoring that 1) a leader who makes one group happy will hurt another group, and 2) the powers given to the one good leader will still be in effect when their successor takes power.
Person A: "You don't get it! If we can just ignore the Constitution and give (politician) more power, they'll fix everything!"
Person B: "That's the King Arthur Fallacy! As good as King Arthur may have been, he's at the very least mostly fiction, and all the kings that followed still wielded his power, for better or for worse.

Koopa Fallacy

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."

Fault-to-Ratio Fallacy

Fault-to-Ratio 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

The Monika Fallacy

The willing ignorance of an individual behind a piece of work that was created with the assistance of AI for the purposes of focusing solely on the AI itself or dismissing the work's creator.
I could have just used "Created by AI" in the above sentence, but that in of itself is an example of The Monika Fallacy, as AI is incapable of creating anything without some kind of human input.
