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.

Cartoon Logic

AKA Cartoon Physics.

A law in cartoons that states that if something impossible would be amusing if it actually happened, then it will happen.

That's not the entire rule, either; see below.

The full definition of Cartoon Logic is as follows:

*Should the character be able to do this?

> Yes No

*Would it be funny if they couldn't?

> Yes No

*They can't do it.

----

*Should the character be able to do this?

Yes > No

*Would it be funny if they could?

> Yes No

*They can do it.

Cowboy Logic

Logic used by those who are anti-intellectual

Cowboy logic says that I shouldn't have to pay taxes for schools that will indoctrinate our kids against the jebus.

spatial logic

Logic for people who don't like logic. Kind of like computer logic, only more stupid stuff that no one uses.

I do spatial logic puzzles so I have no friends.
