A guy who, due to ego or low intelligence, refuses to acknowledge that he didn’t get understand the joke, so instead resorts to insisting that there was never a joke in the first place. He will often criticize the intelligence of the person telling the joke on the basis that they were serious.
“Make sure not to use satire around that guy! He’s Dunning-Kruger’s Kill-Joy, he’ll trap you in an argument you never actually made!”

*not to be confused of Dunning–Kruger effect*
The Moron-Kruger Effect is a psychological phenomenon/cognitive blackhole, in which, the moron in question lacks sufficient information about a given topic and still chooses to argue as if they know it all.
Main difference between it and the Dunning–Kruger effect is that the moron actively chooses not to educate themselves and uses their previously stated arguments as I they were universally accepted.
4 notable stages of the Moron-Kruger Effect are:
• Indulging in a conversation about a topic that the moron knows/heard little or insufficient information about and shares their thoughts on it.
• When met with scrutiny, the moron will justify their takes as if they were misunderstood.
• The moron is easily enraged at the responses that they had received. Furthering his spiral into confusing misinformation with facts.
• Finally, the moron will now start to double down, knowing that they are in the wrong, yet they choose to not rectify previously made mistakes and will keep spreading misinformation.

"That guy thinks that all game developers are lazy because of the success of so-and-so and now they keep arguing about what they don't know about when proven wrong? That's the Moron-Kruger Effect!"
"My neighbor thinks 5G is cancerous because they heard it uses more power and now they think COVID-19 was a conspiracy!? Moron-Kruger Effect."

Darwinism in action? No I think Anti Vaxxers are an example Dunning Kruger Malthusianism. They see tried and tested disease prevention as deliberate infection.

The Downing-Kruger effect is like the Dunning-Kruger effect, but specifically exhibited by people with Down Syndrome. It may be more apparent than usual due to the “stubborn” personality type commonly associated with DS.
My roommate kept nagging me a lot by saying I needed to take NyQuil, even though I actually had pinkeye and it wouldn’t have helped any. I know he thinks he’s caring for me, but he really doesn’t understand what he’s talking about. It’s not his fault though; he has Down Syndrome, so this is just the Downing-Kruger effect in action.
