A logical fallacy when netizen dismiss other netizen's opinion just because s/he is/they are using anime avatars/profile images
The example of reductio ad anime:
Waifu avatar? Splish-splash, your opinion is trash
Hentai avatar? Opinion discarded
Any netizens who use anime avatar can shut the fuck up

When people claim something is automatically right because a large number of people are saying it. You can have a scenario with a hundred idiots and all their mates vs 1 clever person on their own. The karma system on reddit is probably the most egregious implementation of this idea tbh since people blindly assume upvotes = 100% correct in all scenarios
Person A: that game has bad reviews so it must suck. All my mates said it suck so it must be true
Person B: have you played it yourself? Sounds like Ad Populum to me
Person A: huh?

Reductio ad Ursidae: A satirical rhetorical tactic used to invalidate men's actions or arguments by making constant and often absurd comparisons to bears. For example, This technique highlights the irrationality of these comparisons by suggesting that men's behavior is so lacking that even a bear, known for its raw destructiveness, would act more considerately. However, in reality, a bear would cause far more damage and chaos than a man could.
“A bear wouldn’t leave the toilet seat up”
“Don’t pull the bear card”
“Excuse me it’s Reductio ad ursidae to be correct”
“Don’t pull the bear card”
“Excuse me it’s Reductio ad ursidae to be correct”

when one has a bias against, feeling for, or fear of something without proper logical analyzation of the subject, whether it is an object, creature, person, etc. when this happens, one may generalize the subject to how they feel. if one has a bias against something, they may consider it to be wrong or immoral without properly reviewing if it is wrong or immoral. if one has a fear of something, they may consider it to be frightening without properly reviewing if it is harmful. the words "ad subiectum" are latin for "to the subject". a form of ad subiectum that already exists is ad hominem, which translates to "to the man", which is when one has a bias against a person, considering them to be wrong in their argument because of their character or personal attributes, without properly reviewing if their argument is valid or invalid.
"they were directly afraid of the dark. not because of what was in it, but rather because what was in the dark made them directly afraid of the dark, which is ad subiectum."
