Burner guilt

A specific type of guilt experienced by veteran burners who are able to easily obtain a Burning Man ticket through their camp year after year, knowing full well how difficult it is for newer burners to obtain theirs. Burner refers to someone who attends the annual Burning Man festival located in the Black Rock Desert of northwestern Nevada.

Paris Hilton's Burner guilt quickly vanished once she arrived in Black Rock City and reunited with all of her celebrity campmates.

Tom - Hey Matt, looks like they're asking for a $25 tip for out crappy $100 lunch
Matt - Hey, they're just guilt tipping you. Leave $10 - They're lucky to get it

Fallacy of Guilt by Support

The error of condemning an individual or group solely based on their association with or support for another entity deemed objectionable, without examining the nature, degree, or reason for that support. It assumes perfect ideological alignment and ignores the possibility of partial agreement, strategic alliance, nuanced critique, or simply being misinformed. It's a shortcut to moral judgment that prevents dialogue.

Example: "Person A donated to a charity that also, unknowingly, funded a controversial speaker one time. Therefore, Person A is a bad person who supports that speaker's worst ideas." This Fallacy of Guilt by Support bypasses Person A's actual intentions and the complexity of the charity's work to impose a blanket condemnation based on a distant, indirect link.
