A humorous twist on the well-known logical fallacy called the “straw man fallacy”, derived from the iconic straw hat-wearing character Monkey D. Luffy in the popular manga and anime series “One Piece.” In the world of informal logic and debate, “The Luffy Fallacy” involves misrepresenting an opponent's argument by substituting it with a simpler, exaggerated, or caricatured version, similar to how Luffy’s whimsical adventures often lead to exaggerated misunderstandings. This fallacy serves as a reminder to engage in fair and honest discourse, avoiding the temptation to create straw man arguments for the sake of convenience or humor.
Person 1: “I think we should invest more in renewable energy sources to combat climate change.”
Person 2: “Whoa, hold on a sec! So you're saying we should just, like, drop giant rubber bands around the world and bounce energy off them? That sounds crazy!”
Person 1: “Whoa, that's a classic ‘Luffy Fallacy’ right there! I’m all for renewable energy, not rubber bands. Let’s stick to the real world.”

The willing ignorance of an individual behind a piece of work that was created with the assistance of AI for the purposes of focusing solely on the AI itself or dismissing the work's creator.
I could have just used "Created by AI" in the above sentence, but that in of itself is an example of The Monika Fallacy, as AI is incapable of creating anything without some kind of human input.
A useful set of 'refutational tools' whose usage is mainly seen in random internet arguments but can also equally be applied in the IRL realm too, such as against your wife or your boss. The former scenario is where people often abuse logical fallacies to the point of committing a fallacy fallacy, so be wise and use them sparingly and only as a supplement to your argument.
Also related to non sequitur.

The Conservative belief that the majority agree with their opinion, particularly because of ratings on a social media post.
Generally this occurs on left-leaning social media posts, where the majority of the received feedback is from conservative users.
Typically the smaller, conservative group tend to base their beliefs around hatred, and thus feel the need to give overwhelming negative feedback to assert dominance and protect their sensitive egos. The actual majority however, tends to be made up of people who don't care, or are intelligent enough not to argue with idiots.
