Harambe's Law
"You are a racist/sexist/xenophobe/homophobe/abelist" is code for "you are winning this argument, and I hate you for that."
The first person in a discussion to call someone Racist, Sexist, Xenophobic, Homophobic or another pejorative term is deemed to have automatically lost the discussion because they have admitted they have no facts or logic to support their position, and thus resort to name-calling to silence further embarrassment.

According to Thebausffs' "Bausen's Law", in League of Legends, every plate is a kill and every turret two kills.
"So I'm 2/4.. But i took four plates, plus the turret.. So, according to Bausen's Law, I'm actually 8/4 would you look at that"

ACS Law just sent a threatening letter to my elderly grandmother claiming she'd shared pornography online. She's in tears despite knowing she's never owned her own internet connection.
Sorry Mr. Smith but my daughter hasn't done her homework this week because she received a letter from ACS Law threatening to ruin her life.
Gavin, how are those idiots at ACS Law still practicing? Surely they're banned from the UK by now?

If a content creator who deserves more recoginition gets a popular meme, it will be in a way where they can't be recognized for it. The name comes from the fact that this has happened to the streamer Jerma985 multiple times.

Shank's Law is internet shorthand for a common response to the logical fallacy of "Argument from authority". It states: " The imaginative powers of the human mind have yet to rise to the challenge of concocting a conspiracy theory so batshit insane that one cannot find at least one Ph.D holding scientist to support it."
Proponents of conspiracy theories often attempt to lend their swivel-eyed nonsense credibility by citing the "findings" of one or more Ph.D professors. However, they fail to appreciate that the fact that a person holds a Ph.D doesn't necessarily mean they aren't crazy.
