Get the The Big A Fallacy mug.An informal fallacy in which you lambast or criticize someone for doing something unhealthy when you yourself do comparably unhealthy habits or actions. Essentially, it is hypocrisy specifically in the form of habit.
"Hey Conner, it's ridiculous how you spend hundreds of dollars on glass mousepads. That is such a waste of money, for shame!"
"How utterly preposterous of you to propose, Anthony; In actuality, you are committing the 'glass mousepad' fallacy. Why is it bad when I have unhealthy spending habits when you spend hundreds of dollars on Touhou merchandise? Why don't you practice what you preach!?"

Get the The 'Glass Mousepad' Fallacy mug.Related Words
A fallacy that defends a flawed position by comparing it to even worse alternatives, without ever addressing the flaws themselves. "Sure, our healthcare system is broken, but at least it's not as bad as Country X." The fallacy doesn't solve the problem; it just points to someone else's greater problems as a reason to accept one's own. This is the logical skeleton of the "lesser evil" argument, of "it could be worse," of every defense of the status quo that never actually defends the status quo—it just points to something worse. The fallacy ignores that the existence of worse alternatives does not make a bad alternative good, and that the goal should be improvement, not comparison. It's the favorite fallacy of those who benefit from things staying exactly as they are.
Fallacy of the Relative Exception (Fallacy of "All Other Alternatives Are Worse") Example: "She pointed out the corruption, the inequality, the failing infrastructure. He responded with the Fallacy of the Relative Exception: 'But look at Country Y—they have it so much worse.' The problems she listed remained unaddressed, unsolved, untouched. The existence of somewhere worse was supposed to make her somewhere better. It didn't."
