Ping-pong Ball Fallacy

A specific variant that casts the argument itself as the mindless, bouncing object being hit back and forth without agency or resolution. It portrays the points being made as inherently empty or trivial—just a "ball" in a silly game. This dehumanizes the debaters and trivializes their stakes, suggesting the topic is frivolous and the participants are just keeping it alive for sport.

Example: During a serious policy debate on healthcare, one side presents a cost analysis. The opponent replies, "We're not doing this. I'm not your ping-pong ball fallacy. I won't keep bouncing this same tired argument back and forth so you can feel like you're playing a game." This reframes a substantive exchange as a trivial volley, attempting to unilaterally declare the topic beneath consideration.
