Strawmanner

A 'strawmanner' is someone who makes up a person, usually embodying a stereotype, to get mad about or use as an example in arguments. Basically, it's someone who makes a strawman that isn't real and uses it as a sort of punching bag.
p1: Man, p3 is a total strawmanner.

p3: You're just like that one woke liberal leftist who gets triggered by everything.

p2: I don't see any "woke liberal leftists" getting triggered by everything.

p1: See, p3 is strawmanning!
