When someone's character, actions, or opinions are judged SOLELY based on a group or person they are associated with, rather than their own merits or actions. Essentially, it's assuming that negative traits of one individual or group automatically apply to others who are connected to them.
Works on the basis of things other than people, (ideas, groups, etc.)
Association fallacy on the basis of people:
John James has a brother who committed fraud and petty theft, so we should really keep an eye on John because he probably learned a thing or two from his brother!
Didn't Bob Generic spend some time in that labor union? Yeah, we should kick him out before he starts spouting off stuff about eating the rich!
Association fallacy on the basis of ideas:
The Conservative Party has deep ties to traditionalism, nationalism, and anti-communism. Y'know who else did? THE NAZIS! LOCK THOSE GENOCIDAL, RACIST BASTARDS UP!
The Democratic Party has deep ties to liberalism and worker's rights. Y'know who else did? THE COMMIES! LOCK THOSE GENOCIDAL, OPPRESSIVE BASTARDS UP!
Pointing out a certain contraband or prohibited action alike which only implies said person pointing it out also knows or is involved in said prohibition.
Though it doesnt have to be immoral, it could just be akward or embarrassing.

An over reliance on ai and using ai erroneously. Using leading prompts into large language models that generate a desired response and using that response as proof. The worst kind of fallacy there is. Also posting screen shots of this fallacy is double bad.
“That’s a classic Maxwell Fallacy thinking you are right after you finally got ChatPT to agree with you after asking it enough questions! None of us humans are falling for your straw man arguments though.”

“This is a classic Maxwell Fallacy thinking that you are right just because you asked enough leading questions to get ChatGPT to agree with you! But none of us humans agree with you and we see right past your straw man arguments.”
This is how you win a debate. You call out Nemesis Fallacy and your opponent has to concede. Nemesis Fallacy is anything you want it to be. Use your omnipotence to give it a definition.
"I call Nemesis Fallacy."
"I plead Nemesis Fallacy."
The Goomba Fallacy refers to a phenomenon in which two groups with contradictory views are perceived as one group that contradicts itself.
This often happens on internet fandoms where due to large amounts of people interacting anonymously, it creates the illusion of people wanting multiple contradictory things at a time when in fact it is the result of disagreements between multiple sub-groups in the fandom.
"First fans wanted a larger cast, and now they want a smaller cast, these people don't know what they want!"
"Are you sure it isn't Goomba Fallacy?"
When someone calls an an argument a fallacy in order to deflect from its sound reasoning in order to avoid needing to form an actual rebuttal.
You committed the Bullshit Fallacy when you called my argument a fallacy when it's completely logical. Either make an actual argument or shut the fuck up.
