Implicit false dichotomy

We're seeing a lot of that recently in the discourse around "Victimhood"
Hym "And how it works is basically like this: So-and-so will sarcastically say 'Well this person is clearly a victim.' And what they are insinuating is that the person is 'acting as though they are a victim even though they are are not.' This creates the implicit false dichotomy between 'People who act like victims' and 'People who don't.' The former are 'The bad ones' and the latter are 'The good ones.' Sound familiar? It's the 'good one/bad one frame.' I'VE WRITTEN ABOUT THAT BEFORE! REMEMBER!? It's a framing tool they like to use! See it!? And that's all it is. It doesn't mean anything."

Habitual false confirmation bias

The tendency for an individual to wrongly come to a conclusion, largely due to that individuals obsession with a specific item or idea.
Danny states "Product X is only available on Apple IPhones, therefore Iphones are better." When in reality, Danny has an unhealthy obsession with Apple products and is rejecting the obvious signs that androids are better products. Danny is committing habitual false confirmation bias.

hood fails

accounts that show people partaking in petty crime, or generally goofing off, especially in a low-income neighbourhood, but show the doer failing, often spectacularly.

alternatively, a genre of instagram account that usually post fast-paced videos that consist of snippets of funny videos cut such that the punchline in each either exists or is cut off. given the rapid-fire nature of how they are edited, the videos are intentionally overstimulating leaving the viewer no other appropriate reaction other than to laugh. for flavour, the editor may slip in popular memes and images, and deliberately include lewd artworks depicting but not limited to furries and anime girls

usually, there would be a place name (or object) appended before "hood fails" for example toronto, nebraska, and the posts would usually contain some videos referencing that place.
toronto hood fails is my favourite account on insta bro every reel is frying me

Gar-Failed

(Verb)

To be Gar-Failed is to know disappointment at a cosmic level: like Garfield waking up to an empty lasagna pan. Every Wednesday you get your hopes up—bowling shoes rented, camera ready, dough rising—and every Wednesday such bestie pulls a Gar-Fail, leaving you holding nothing but regret and extra pepperoni.
Example:
“Thought we were making pizza and going bowling, but Greg Gar-Failed me again.”

One-liner roasts:

When Garfield hates Mondays, but Greg makes you hate Wednesdays.

To be left standing alone in bowling shoes, holding a camera and a homemade pizza sauce.

Greg ghosts Garfield Day harder than Garfield ghosts diets.

YOU failed

HAHAHA! WHAT!? I don't think that's how that works but OK. Kind of. I mean, what did the guy who did the shooting actually say was the reason he did it? Because it's probably just that (to the extent he has the capacity to articulate his grievance)
Hym "Nope. YOU failed. You tried to tell me that I failed and YOU failed, shit-head. Like, the national guard BEING THERE... Was supposed to prevent that. They were supposed to scare crazy-evil people into not doing crime and/or actively prevent the crime from happening as it's happening... And then look what happened. Not only did they NOT DO THAT EVEN A LITTLE BIT... But also they were the VICTIMS OF THE CRIME. That's like ME getting murdered in a mass shooting. I mean... It's like they are trying to 'manifest' things. Right? It also seems like the approval rating goes up or down at my behest. So that's neat. I say down! Shut it all down! No more approval for shit-heads! And yes Alex. I do exist. I'm like a real guy. I got a little baby dick and everything. I live in an apartment. And I am existing so fucking hard right now you would not believe. A lot harder then those fucking national guardsman, that's for sure. Because, uh, they do not do that anymore... Umm... Right. Sorry for your loss, by the way. Whoever thought having the national guard fucking stand around out there was a good idea... Does the national guard not have a plan for that? Like... The American military... doesn't have a plan... For what to do... If a guy with a gun... Tries to shoot them while the are standing around? What?"
