People who are ilke Grammar Nazis when it comes to the use of fallacies in a argument. Basically these people are usually in the Facebook comments and in Reddit threads. Also Fallacy Nazis are mostly left wing or factcheckers.
I hate fallacy nazis! They think that the facebook comment section is a some sort of a debate center and they're pointing out the fallacies of people.

When someone in an argument attempts to deny your argument by nitpicking a small mistake, such as a mis-pronunciation or typo. Named after the famous "end him rightly" meme, where a fencing opponent throws their pommel in your face as a distraction.
"That's actually a sea lion, not a seal, therefore you're completely wrong about everything" "Bullcrap, that's The pommel fallacy"
Nerds like to use this when they procrastinate.
The mathematical fallacy 2 = 1 is a classic one, guess which step is incorrect:
Let x = y.
Multiply by x: x² = xy.
Subtract y²: x² − y² = xy − y².
Factorize: (x − y)(x + y) = y(x − y).
Divide by (x − y): x + y = y
Because x = y, replace all x's with y's: y + y = y
Simplify: 2y = y
Divide by y: 2 = 1
Did you see the incorrect step? Spoiler alert: it's the fifth one; you can't divide by (x − y), as that equals 0 (because x and y are equal), and you can't divide by zero.
kyno fallacy: the idea that calling a random ass fallacy will instantly make your point right or will make you win the argument
*twitter screenshot*: "anime is supposed to be perfect, but black people ruin that"
denzel: hes not 100% wrong
harry: thats racist bro
denzel: STRAWMAN FALLACY!!!!!!
harry: how is that a strawman? sounds like the kyno fallacy to me
A fallacy that is meaningful irrespective of the truthiness of subjectivity's premises because the subjective precedes the objective on the line of time.
A fallacy that must be treated as meaningful and therefore real because the subjective vector universally points toward truth whereas the object-vector does so exclusively specifically.
A true fallacy is true regardless of its premises ie. meaning CREATES reality a la Kant.
The false assumption that a person who belongs to some arbitrary group definition must therefore think like the stereotypical archetype of that group.
"Just because he's from California doesn't mean he subscribes to its politics; that's just a hivemind fallacy."
A subcategory of the common strawman fallacy.
A Redditman Fallacy is when a user pushes an agenda by showing a screenshot of a reddit post. This reddit post is usually atrocious in quality or with terrible takes, in which the user may clown and easily defeat the argument in order to push their agenda.
An example of this is clear in politically motivated twitter accounts using screenshots including but not limited to reddit posts
