Reductoid

The name for a person who fails to engage with the nuances or complexities of a controversial discussion, and instead takes the easy route of resorting to paint the opposing side with universally condemnable titles, such as "racist", "misogynist", "marxist" or "Nazi".

Reductoids espouse such judgements with an unfounded air of certainty and moral superiority, and often do so when they are incapable of reason.
Greg - "Well actually, I don't believe that trans women should compete in male sports-"

Reductoid - "TRANSPHOBE"

Greg - "You didn't even get to hear out my argument, it is in good faith"

Reductoid - "Transphobic piece of shit, why do you hate trans people?"

Greg - "I don't hate trans people, you are being such a reductoid right now"

reductape add absurdium

The repeated patching up of a flimsy argument for a ridiculous proposition made by someone you’d think would be smarter.

Reductape is Latin for the process of repeatedly patching something until all you see is the patch and you can no longer see the thing being patched.

Absurdium is an isotope of Einsteinium (Es, atomic number 99) which when present in the brain of even the hugest genius renders them stupid.
