JPEG fallacy

A logical fallacy where one reductively presents an idea or object in terms of it's basic fundamental parts, missing the point of it, often to make an argument seem more simple or valid than it would be with the added context, similarly to how detail is lost with the compression of a JPEG.

Person A: (raging at a game)
Person B: "Why're you getting so mad? It's just pixels on a screen, bro." (An example of the JPEG fallacy, because sure, it is "pixels on a screen", in the most basic sense, but it's grossly reduced.)

Lovers' JPEG

Similar to a Lovers' tiff, but compressed x10

Person 1: Alice and Bob's Lovers' Tiff didn't seem to last very long.
Person 2: Yeh, you could say it was more of a Lovers' JPEG

needs more jpeg

A tern used on r/greentext to basically say "this image looks terrible". It summons a bot which turns the image into a JPEG and the more times it's replied to with 'needs more jpeg' the blockier it looks.
