Revisionism Fallacy 

Aka, the “Liberty Cabbage Fallacy”, When people forcefully change the meaning of a word or concept for political or social reasons, then pretend that new meaning is legit just because it’s popular or approved by institutions.

“Man I love Liberty Cabbage!”

“You mean Sauerkraut?”

“No it’s liberty cabbage bc German bad!”

“Thats just a revisionism fallacy, everyone’s just gonna call it sauerkraut the moment your social opinions lose grace”

Forced Diversity Revisionism (FDR) it is a shiny new coinage for those Hollywood history tweaks that prioritize inclusivity vibes over era-specifics, and for all those complaining about Viking warlords with cornrows or medieval knights who look like they just walked out of a UN meeting.
