Goomba 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?"
