trivial

used in mathematics for proofs that are considered easy after understanding them
student: i don't understand how this is obvious.
prof: hmm let me get back to you tomorrow, i don't remember how to prove it right now.

1 week later:
student: about that proof...
prof: ah yes, i just finished reading the proof but don't worry. it is indeed trivial.

serial trivializer

Someone who likes to pass off the accomplishments/goals of others as overly simple or easily attainable despite being an unintelligent blowhard.
Steve: Did you hear? Nick got a job at that Fortune Five Hundred accounting firm.
John: Pfft, whatever. Nick ain't even smart, just got lucky. Besides, I could do that shit any day.
Steve: Dude, are you serious? You can't even spell 'because', you're living with your mom and trying to become a rapper. Bro you're a serial trivializer.

Trivializing

What you're doing. I'm not making any extraordinary claims here and the claims I AM making can be substantiated with video evidence.
Hym "You're trivializing. Likely out of spite. This isn't a mental illness. It isn't a manifestation of my own mind. There are reasons to kill you and your kids. It's either too difficult or too scary for you to deal with that. So you've created a mythology that ommits those reasons and you're doing this because it's easier for you to compell the behavior of 1 person than it is 5. So that's what you're trying to do. Get me to cede authority over my own mind. Regardless of whether or not I'm CORRECT. If saying things that marginalize tansgenders does some significant psychological damage I don't see how you can think that this would not. Which means it isn't the damage you care about. YOU need therapy because YOU have a disfunctional mind. I don't have depression. I don't have anxiety. You are collectively doing a thing to me. Actively and deliberately. I will not give you what you want. The only thing I can be certain of... Is that you REALLY don't want me to hurt you kids. It should concern you that the people touting freedom of thought have pivoted an entire 180° and started pushing the idea that certain thoughts are like literal viruses and, therefore, they need to do what YOUR SIDE was trying to do... With a dash of "but muh-child safety." You're not as rational or as skeptical as you think you are and I can guarantee this won't end how you want it to... Like, literally... That's a thing I can do manually."

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."

Trivializing

Nah, don't try and trivialize it you fucking cuck.

Hym "Nah, I was way more specific than that and coming from A FUCKING CHEATER that doesn't mean a whole lot, does it? I'm 6'1. You think if I cut the weight and did a bunch of fucking steroids I couldn't do what a retard like you does? Accept at a higher weight class? It ain't rocket science you're doing in their genius and you STILL need to cheat to win you fucking prick.
Why all the trivializing? If I was in his corner and he had said to me 'I can't find my jab' I would have had a response there. What did his coach say? Not the correct answer apparently! How about 'You're head-hunting. Feint high and then rip to the body.' Or 'Every time you go to throw a jab he's raising his arms into that modified cross-guard and because you're only aiming it his head it isn't hard for him to block. Jab him in the body to set up your hook or overhead. Chael says he has a tendency to not block his body' or, shit, 'Do what Michael Bisping did to GSP and jab his lead hand so you can follow up with an overhand.' I mean, jesus christ! There are ways to find your jab! Bisping was able to do it with only one eye! I mean, you had like 2 whole years to learn how to fight in the pocket but you didn't take what I said seriously and look what happened. Throw an elbow! You're clearly not going to pay me so, there. It's not going to work as well now because everyone can see it, fuck-face. Have fun wrestling him. You're going have to do that now. Sorry. Vasily listens. Or his dad does. And no I don't think people are giving me the credit I'm due I think they're sitting there like an upity bitch like 'Nuh-uh! You don't know! You're not a fighter! Fighters are extra-special guys! Only a fighter knows how to shoot steroid into my ass as good as I do!' Fucking dip-shit."

Trivial

You motherfuckers need to accept that some of the things I've done are trivial and what is happening to me is not...
Hym "And if YOU think what I did with AI here is trivial YOU need to go online and WRITE A FUCKING INSTRUCTION MANUAL FOR A TIME MACHINE and MAYBE a billionaire will pay to make it and then you can go back in time and stop me from getting harassed for 15 years or, better yet, you can stop it all! You can stop me from downloading Win.exe. You can stop me from taking birth control. You can stop Kendra from fucking that retard. Shit, you can stop him from getting molested. You can stop them from reading my fucking email. BUT UNTIL THEN, you haven't done ANYTHING ever that compares."
