People who are ilke Grammar Nazis when it comes to the use of fallacies in a argument. Basically these people are usually in the Facebook comments and in Reddit threads. Also Fallacy Nazis are mostly left wing or factcheckers.
I hate fallacy nazis! They think that the facebook comment section is a some sort of a debate center and they're pointing out the fallacies of people.

The mathematical fallacy 2 = 1 is a classic one, guess which step is incorrect:
Let x = y.
Multiply by x: x² = xy.
Subtract y²: x² − y² = xy − y².
Factorize: (x − y)(x + y) = y(x − y).
Divide by (x − y): x + y = y
Because x = y, replace all x's with y's: y + y = y
Simplify: 2y = y
Divide by y: 2 = 1
Did you see the incorrect step? Spoiler alert: it's the fifth one; you can't divide by (x − y), as that equals 0 (because x and y are equal), and you can't divide by zero.

When someone in an argument attempts to deny your argument by nitpicking a small mistake, such as a mis-pronunciation or typo. Named after the famous "end him rightly" meme, where a fencing opponent throws their pommel in your face as a distraction.

The false assumption that a person who belongs to some arbitrary group definition must therefore think like the stereotypical archetype of that group.
"Just because he's from California doesn't mean he subscribes to its politics; that's just a hivemind fallacy."

kyno fallacy: the idea that calling a random ass fallacy will instantly make your point right or will make you win the argument

A fallacy that is meaningful irrespective of the truthiness of subjectivity's premises because the subjective precedes the objective on the line of time.
A fallacy that must be treated as meaningful and therefore real because the subjective vector universally points toward truth whereas the object-vector does so exclusively specifically.
