ad subiectum

when one has a bias against, feeling for, or fear of something without proper logical analyzation of the subject, whether it is an object, creature, person, etc. when this happens, one may generalize the subject to how they feel. if one has a bias against something, they may consider it to be wrong or immoral without properly reviewing if it is wrong or immoral. if one has a fear of something, they may consider it to be frightening without properly reviewing if it is harmful. the words "ad subiectum" are latin for "to the subject". a form of ad subiectum that already exists is ad hominem, which translates to "to the man", which is when one has a bias against a person, considering them to be wrong in their argument because of their character or personal attributes, without properly reviewing if their argument is valid or invalid.

"they were directly afraid of the dark. not because of what was in it, but rather because what was in the dark made them directly afraid of the dark, which is ad subiectum."

Reductio Ad Ursidae

Reductio ad Ursidae: A satirical rhetorical tactic used to invalidate men's actions or arguments by making constant and often absurd comparisons to bears. For example, This technique highlights the irrationality of these comparisons by suggesting that men's behavior is so lacking that even a bear, known for its raw destructiveness, would act more considerately. However, in reality, a bear would cause far more damage and chaos than a man could.

A bear wouldn’t leave the toilet seat up”

“Don’t pull the bear card”

“Excuse me it’s Reductio ad ursidae to be correct”

ad hominymph

A person who likes to debate online but whose idea of debate consists solely of levying ad hominem attacks until everyone loses interest in debating with her, at which point she declares victory.

OP: Posts something on social media.
Commenter: I disagree with what you said.
Commenter: For real, I disagree. Let's discuss.
Commenter: Why are you ignoring me?

OP: Because I have better things to do than debate online with a known ad hominymph. If I wanted to do something frustrating and pointless, I'd try to solve a Rubik's Cube.
