A person entering a, usually controversial, discussion with the most surface-level, stereotype-based, and hyperbolic arguments possible. Their take then becomes the easy go-to meme response that spreads, resulting in a form of Flanderization for the discussion as a whole, cutting any nuance or complexity to the discourse and adding undeserved importance to it.
Some of the more prevalent examples of this are in discussions of Fermi's paradox, where the go to is, "Aliens don't talk to us because we're stupid," despite how much it's implying about the aliens in question. And arguments about America not using the metric system, with the reason often being, "Americans are too stupid and lazy to understand it," forcing a stereotype and ignoring any actual reasons the US hasn't switched over.
Since these arguments are often done for quick validation, they often have little to no research backing them either due to overconfidence of being right, or an unconscious fear of having to think complexly.

commenter 1: omfg why don't Americans just switch to metric already, why are they too dumb to do government.
commenter 2: You could leave and google how states' rights work, fucking discussion pollution.

Get the Discussion Pollutionmug. This means that the discussions are tedious and literally no one cares about them! Most students just find some answer on google and summarize it as their discussion.

Get the canvas discussionsmug. Refers to any meeting between two or more people that takes place after they have all partaken of voluminous quantities of baked beans or spiced cabbage, resulting in a comparably voluminous quantity of drawn-out butt-trumpet rasps.
"July is National baked bean Month" Pppppppp-rrrrrttttt. "Excuse me." Google "baked beans speech" for the entire hilarious long-winded discussion.

Get the Discussionmug. A chatroom for Pro Anorexia discussion, but the admin is non-existent and the mods are TERRIBLE! A wasteland of a place.
Hey! Have you seen Blah (mod) on Pro-Ana Support and Discussion Chatzy recently?
You mean the 40 year old pervert who preys on young, thin girls? Nope! He’s probably busy drinking. Only ED he has is erectile dysfunction.
