SANITÄTER 

German for "paramedic". Definitely did NOT become common with BFV; I don't know how you can even think that. If its usage in BFV was "common", then it was likely no more common than its usage in, I don't know, WORLD WAR TWO or something, not to mention the fact that it was used exactly one decade prior to BFV in Call of Duty: World at War in 2008. And I am sure it has been used in many other WWII games prior to BFV as well.
"Sanitäter!"- Wehrmacht callout from COD: WAW Multiplayer. And subsequently WWII, likely.

Argumentum Ad Sanitatem

A logical fallacy where one dismisses an argument by claiming the opponent needs psychological or psychiatric help, rather than engaging with the substance of their position. The fallacy lies in treating mental health status as a refutation of claims, as if being in psychological distress automatically invalidates what someone says. "You need help" becomes a conversation-ender, a way of dismissing uncomfortable ideas by pathologizing the person who holds them. This fallacy is particularly insidious because it weaponizes genuine mental health concerns—using the stigma surrounding psychological distress to silence dissent, avoid difficult conversations, and position oneself as the sane, reasonable party without actually addressing any arguments. It's argument by diagnosis, not by reason.
Example: "When she raised legitimate concerns about workplace conditions, her manager didn't address a single point—just said 'you need psychiatric help.' Argumentum Ad Sanitatem: using the language of mental health to avoid engaging with substance."
