An appeal to ownership
An appeal to ownership is a logical fallacy similar to an "ad hominem" fallacy where someone dismisses another person's argument based on that person's failure to own a particular object, treating ownership as evidence of the person's competence rather than actually rebutting or addressing the merits of the argument itself. Situations like this are becoming increasingly common in today's online discourse.
"What color is your Bugatti?" or "If you cant afford it, just say that" or "Bro has an Android" are all an appeal to ownership.
