Get the Brooks Holt Fallacy mug.An opponent predicts exactly what you would say, but refuses to, or can't explain why you are wrong. This is an anti argument because the opponent isn't making a point nor debunking yours.
Joseph Joestar knew DIO would say "kono dio da", however, that does not change the fact that DIO can rock his shit.
During a debate about the wage gap, a leftist says to a right wingerin retaliation to an argument they made: haha why did I somehow know that you would say that "the study only compares two checks between a man and a woman. It does not not take the other factors into account, such as hours worked, efficiency of the product, etc". That means that you're wrong because I knew you would say that. They used the Toyu Fallacy

Get the Toyu Fallacy mug.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.

Get the The Dingus Fallacy mug.The mistaken belief that an argument is valid or true simply because it uses complex, scientific-sounding, or technical language—regardless of whether the content makes any actual sense.
“Quantum vibrations in your DNA resonate with the cosmic frequency of abundance, aligning you with the higher dimensional matrix of manifestation.”
“Wow, that sounds deep!”
“Nah, bro. That’s just the technobabble fallacy.”

Get the Technobabble Fallacy mug.A hypothesis that predicts a pattern of hypocrisy from prominent figures in entertainment, politics, etc. It posits that, "the louder someone is for a value of ethic and/or moral behavior, the less likely they actually subscribed to it in their personal lives." The name comes from the stereotypical "Christian values" conservative who supports anti-LGBTQ legislation, only to get caught leaving a gay bar or sleeping with a male prostitute. This isn't isolated to such cases, as the Gay Republican fallacy applies to any case of a public figure who's a proponent for a specific cause/value getting outed for actions that contradict their advocacy. This can be a celebrity who's a big supporter of feminism, only to get ousted for having a history of predatory behavior. It could also be a reality TV show husband whose a proponent of "traditional family values" and being loyal to your wife getting caught having an affair or an account on an adult chat site. Maybe is comes from a place of guilt or self-loathing, or maybe these individuals' public personas are a self aware grift to draw up support from specific demographics (the religious, the politically correct, etc.). The answer is unclear, but the Gay Republican fallacy always has been and always will be; as ling as there's a celebrity or politician ruins their reputation by being a complete hypocrite.
Wow, James Franco hopped on the #metoo movement, only to get ousted for using his acting school to pressure female students into sleeping with him. Just another example of the Gay Republican Fallacy.

Get the The Gay Republican fallacy mug.A humorous twist on the well-known logical fallacy called the “straw man fallacy”, derived from the iconic straw hat-wearing character Monkey D. Luffy in the popular manga and anime series “One Piece.” In the world of informal logic and debate, “The Luffy Fallacy” involves misrepresenting an opponent's argument by substituting it with a simpler, exaggerated, or caricatured version, similar to how Luffy’s whimsical adventures often lead to exaggerated misunderstandings. This fallacy serves as a reminder to engage in fair and honest discourse, avoiding the temptation to create straw man arguments for the sake of convenience or humor.
Person 1: “I think we should invest more in renewable energy sources to combat climate change.”
Person 2: “Whoa, hold on a sec! So you're saying we should just, like, drop giant rubber bands around the world and bounce energy off them? That sounds crazy!”
Person 1: “Whoa, that's a classic ‘Luffy Fallacy’ right there! I’m all for renewable energy, not rubber bands. Let’s stick to the real world.”
