One-sided coin fallacy

One-sided coin fallacy occurs when a person only looks at one side of things, hence ¨one-sided coin fallacy¨. It occurs when someone argues that an action can exist while being completely oblivious that said action must have an opposite reaction.
Person A: Why are governments so stupid man? They can just raise the minimum wage to get rid of poverty.

Person B: Lol, that´s a one-sided coin fallacy. You can´t only look at the minimum wage going up, you also need to realize that companies paying more on wages will just make all their products more expensive.

Zeno's Paradox Fallacy

The futile use of verbosity or technical blather in an attempt to ascribe logic to a fallacious argument.
No matter how much technical detail you can use to explain the genetic relationship between you and that chick you kissed, I know she's your sister, and I'm not listening to your Zeno's Paradox Fallacy nonsense.

Owed Consent Fallacy

Owed Consent is an incel fallacy where the incel does a kind jesture like buying a gift or dinner for a person, and despite them not agreeing to reciprocate still have the social unawareness to act out and say they are Owed Consent. This is usually held by men between the ages of 16 and 21 who were neglected as children who were not taught how to respect girls/bottoms.
"I paid for this bitches meal but she said no! She must've said yes!" - John
"You're an incel John, you know they don't owe you anything if they didn't agree to anything" - Scott
"But I feel so used!" - John
"Then get into a relationship before? Set terms? Don't be an incel maybe? Make it clear you want something in return before acting like they signed a waver to smash your sorry ass? You fell for that Owed Consent Fallacy my man." - Scott

Quizmaster Fallacy

When unsure in a multiple-choice quiz, you should always pick the answer that doesn't follow the pattern of the others.
For example, if the question is "What year did the US and Britain go to war?" and the answers are:

A) 1700
B) 1750
C) 1812
D) 1850

You should always pick 1812, because it doesn't follow the pattern of round numbers.
"How did you know that was the right answer?"

"It didn't follow the pattern of the other answers, why else would the Quizmaster have put it there? It's the Quizmaster Fallacy in action!"
