Strohjoka-Argument

Rhetorische Taktik in Diskussionen, bei der einer sachlichen Kritik mit dem Vorwurf der Voreingenommenheit oder mangelnden Sensibilität begegnet wird, um von der eigentlichen Argumentation abzulenken.

A: Die neue Magierin ist zu stark. Ihre Fähigkeiten verderben den Spielspaß.
B: Du hast wohl ein Problem mit starken weiblichen Charakteren. Das ist ziemlich sexistisch von dir!
A: Ein klassisches Strohjoka-Argument 🙄 Können wir zur Diskussion über die Spielbalance zurückkehren?

Argument Sandwich

When two people you are friends with get into an argument with each other, and they both want you to believe their side of the story.

Hey, Dave and Kate broke up. Yeah, they both messaged me about it and I don’t know who to believe. I’m in a bit of an Argument Sandwich right now man.

Close your legs arguments

Typically misogynistic arguments used to push the onus on the one in question to deny them rights . Used to commonly conflate responsibility with rights provided serving as a red herring .

You shouldn't appeal to close your legs arguments such as telling a man to get a vasectomy or practice abstinence if he doesnt want to pay child support as if the right to decline child support has any bearing on whether he's responsible or not .

Felur Argument

When a person says something so dumb, you look your friend in the eyes and just see a piece of him die. Most of the times they're arguing more to prove you wrong then the opposite. The topics for said arguments are most of the times pretty stupid.

Felur: "Dude if the earth keeps getting warmer and warmer we'll evaporate due to global warming".

Kantor:" Bro it doesn't work like that, global warming won't evaporate us".

Felur:"But... but... it will.. because..".
Kantor:"Shut up, this is honestly such a you argument, literally a Felur Argument".

The Conspiracy-Loop Argument

Every conspiracy theory can be presented as a conspiracy itself.

A: I'm telling you, there are aliens in Area 51, it's no conspiracy theory.
B: No, the conspiracy theory is a conspiracy theory, it's what they want you to think.
A: You are just using the Conspiracy-Loop Argument.
