A humorous twist on the well-known logical fallacy called the “straw man fallacy”, derived from the iconic straw hat-wearing character Monkey D. Luffy in the popular manga and anime series “One Piece.” In the world of informal logic and debate, “The Luffy Fallacy” involves misrepresenting an opponent's argument by substituting it with a simpler, exaggerated, or caricatured version, similar to how Luffy’s whimsical adventures often lead to exaggerated misunderstandings. This fallacy serves as a reminder to engage in fair and honest discourse, avoiding the temptation to create straw man arguments for the sake of convenience or humor.
Person 1: “I think we should invest more in renewable energy sources to combat climate change.”
Person 2: “Whoa, hold on a sec! So you're saying we should just, like, drop giant rubber bands around the world and bounce energy off them? That sounds crazy!”
Person 1: “Whoa, that's a classic ‘Luffy Fallacy’ right there! I’m all for renewable energy, not rubber bands. Let’s stick to the real world.”

A useful set of 'refutational tools' whose usage is mainly seen in random internet arguments but can also equally be applied in the IRL realm too, such as against your wife or your boss. The former scenario is where people often abuse logical fallacies to the point of committing a fallacy fallacy, so be wise and use them sparingly and only as a supplement to your argument.
Also related to non sequitur.

The truth will have no conceivable defence, where as a fictional narrative can always be confirmed as fallacy.
John: I believe that we can grow our gross revenue 10% over the next six years using this marketing strategy.
Harvey: Well, facts are friendly. until then, fiction is fallacy.
The definition of fact being an absolute truth, where as to define fallacy is to holding a mistaken belief, especially one based on unsound arguments.
Facts are friendly, fiction is fallacy - would be defined as until you have evidence you are unable to make a case against the fallacy of your argument.

Where you think you're more awesome than everyone else, and that your opinions are so right, they don't require justification and everyone else is stupid for thinking differently.
Person 1: "I disagree with you, I think the Beatles is a boy band because some of their early stuff shows especially the commercialism aspect of boy bands."
Jack: "That's wrong, obviously the Beatles isn't a boy band."

Jack: "Anyone who doesn't believe in God is an idiot, there's obviously a God."

The common mistaken belief that all people who drive Subarus are gay, just because all lesbians drive Subarus.
Christie: Hey Joe, you're a flaming homosexual because of those navy blue briefs! Steve: No way. I'm an expert on men's underwear. Like Rick from Pawn Stars calls me when he has questions. This js just a classic example of The Subaru Fallacy!
