Arguments in power scaling debates that bring a hefty dose of bias & not much brainpower to the table. Oversimplified arguments, abuse of hyperboles and a preference for shaky statements over real evidence. As if critical thinking took a vacation. The term captures discussions where depth and smarts are, regrettably, in short supply.

"BLEACHscaling" is a term coined to describe a highly disingenuous or exaggerated method of assessing and comparing the power levels of fictional characters. This often involves cherry-picking feats, misinterpreting context, or using hyperbolic statements to inflate a character's abilities beyond reasonable limits. The term is inspired by the infamous debates surrounding power scaling in the anime and manga community, particularly those involving the series "Bleach," where characters' power levels are frequently a subject of heated and often biased discussion.
Sure! Here's an example of how "BLEACHscaling" might be used in a conversation:
Person A: "I think Goku's Ultra Instinct form is one of the most powerful states in anime."
Person B: "Yeah, but Ichigo from Bleach could totally beat him. Remember that time he cut through dimensions? He's clearly on a multiversal level."
Person A: "Are you seriously BLEACHscaling right now? Cutting through dimensions in Bleach isn't the same as being a multiversal threat. You're blowing his feats way out of proportion!"
