A logical fallacy where someone involved in an argument says the issue in question being argued over "doesn't really matter" in an attempt to shame their opponent into giving up so that their side can push their agenda unopposed.
This fallacy is easily countered by telling the person doing this argument to shut up and go away if they don't actually care.
