screen time fallacy

The misconception that a robot or AI's behavior can be attributed to excessive "screen time", similar to how it affects human children, ignoring the fundamental differences in programming, autonomy, and design between machines and humans. It's just a matter of coincidence that such humanoid robot was conceived and "born" at a lab with as many screens as a sci-fi spaceship.

Blaming the humanoid robot's inappropriate actions on a 'screen time fallacy' is just ridiculous; it’s not like it was sitting in front of an iPad binging brainrot contents!

Appeal to Kaffir Fallacy

An Appeal to Kaffir Fallacy is when someone (usually a Muslim) appeals to a disbeliever as a source instead of citing their own.

Guy Named Retirement: You cannot kill children in Islam
Guy Named Kay: What's the source?
Guy Named Retirement: Wally knows the source
Guy Named Kay" Aye! That's an Appeal to Kaffir Fallacy!

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

Did a Fallon

To voluntarily cuddle up to fascists, evil-doers, and oligarchs, in public. To normalize those who hurt others because, at that moment, they’re not hurting you, personally.

I used to like that actor. But then he did a Fallon.

The 'Glass Mousepad' Fallacy

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!?"

Half Chub Fallacy

Someone arguing that directs the substance of the argument specifically to a spot which brings them pleasure to talk about.

Muxaio: You can’t treat me worse because I have a lower VISA status than you
Alp: That’s such a red herring fallacy and this isn’t applicable to the job status that you can’t get over

Alp has a pleasure for Fallacies
Muxaio: Don’t get too excited now, that’s clearly a half chub fallacy. We know you masturbate to the thought of fallacies.
