Trivial Treatment

To spit in the face of someone who has just either blatantly disrespected you in public or in front of friends. Said person who's face is now covered in spit does nothing to harm or hurt the person who spit. Just curses and states "me and all my boys are going to fuck you up" while backing away

appeal to triviality

A logical fallacy where someone involved in an argument says the issue in question being argued over "doesn't really matter" in an attempt to shame their opponent into giving up so that their side can push their agenda unopposed.

This fallacy is easily countered by telling the person doing this argument to shut up and go away if they don't actually care.
Person 1: "Why do you care so much if the space marines in Warhammer 40,000 are female anyway? It's just toy soldiers, stop being such a whiny incel over nothing!"
Person 2: "Appeal to triviality. If you didn't actually care about this stuff then you wouldn't even argue about it in the first place."
