tumblr logic

The predominate mindset among more vocal Tumblr users, where whoever have the most incensed emotions, or whoever has the most “oppressed” attributes (POC, women, etc.) always win every argument, no matter if they are factually right or not. Virtually every Tumblr community engages in some form on this mindset in some way, with Tumblr users especially enjoying to hate on white, cishet, males no matter what their political state is (see: die cis scum, male tears, etc.) Granted, Tumblr logic does not mean Tumblr users are always wrong, this is just a logical fallacy that is often employed by Tumblr users to argue with people who disagree with them, even when said conversation has nothing to do with race, gender, politics, etc. tl;dr: This is an appeal to emotion, appeal to minority, and victim complex that Tumblr engages in at an alarming amount, and due to this repeated fallacious logic, is what gave Tumblr its infamous reputation of “feelings over facts”.

Example of Tumblr logic:

Logical internet user: I dislike your opinion, so I will give out a bunch of (possibly true, this is the internet after all) facts that refute your argument.

Illogical internet user: I dislike your opinion, so here is 13 reasons why you are a sexist, racist, homophobic, transphobic, Islamophobic, (insert other Tumblr buzzword insults), bigoted scum who’s argument is now completely invalidated due to their alleged bigotry, even if they made actual points.

*The illogical user then gets upvoted for appealing to various minority groups, whereas the logical user gets thrown into oblivion by the seething lynch mob of incensed internet users who want someone to fight against.

Tom Logic

Something so incredibly dumb and lazy that it's almost brilliant!

Tom Logic: "I just wrapped my bowl in foil before using it so I don't have to wash it up"

Sod's Logic

The use of Sod's Law to one's own advantage.

Used Sod's Logic today. Really didn't want it to rain on my picnic today, so I brought an umbrella with me.
OR
I really want this person I fancy at work to talk to me. Today I didn't wash, do my hair or wear clean clothes and I'm hungover. 99% guaranteed today's the day they start speaking to me.

Alcoholic's Logic

Type of logic an Alcoholic has, whether they are in recovery or not. This logic may not make sense to anyone who isn't an alcoholic.

Alcoholic: When you fix that kitchen cabinet to the wall to house the double oven, for extra peace of mind I'd like you to screw in two brackets, fixed to the wall behind the cabinet, under the shelf the oven will sit on.
Non alcoholic: Here we go, alcoholic's logic again!

leap of logic

1. Taking conclusions without enough supporting premises (or even no supporting premises at all)
2. Forcing two irrelevant shits to be related

List of logical leaps:
1. Cocoklogi (non causa pro causa/questionable cause fallacy)
2. Black and white/either-or/false dilemma
3. Being overdramatic (a.k.a. Slippery Slope and Strawman)
4. Argument from ignorance (we don't know X, therefore X is wrong)
5. Hasty generalization

Whoa, both the Left and the Right are the experts of mental gymnastics and leap of logic!

Jamie logic

A fact or belief that is remodeled into a new reality, to the benefit of the authority that has implemented such decree.

I just bought this apple for one dollar isn’t that great? Yeah it is, so happy you got a great deal!
So would you like to buy an apple? Sure why not!
That’ll be five dollars. Wait what? Why is that if you got it for one and are trying to sell it for five? That’s just Jamie logic, that’ll be five dollars please!
