        Here’s the goomba fallacy in a nutshell:

        It’s basically two fallacies of composition together. I think Kairos is saying it applies in this case because of the greentext.

        (Another name for the same fallacy is the “Muhammad Chang” fallacy. Basically: if the most common name is Muhammad, and the most common surname is Chang, then the most common full name should be Muhammad Chang.)

          Muhammad Chang

          I willing to bet there are people named like this in indonesia and west china (uyghur province)

            Most likely, but it isn’t the most common full name in the world. Because typically people with one don’t have the other.

            (Plus family names aren’t even obligatory in Indonesia, and Muhammad is so common among Muslims around the world that they typically have also a second personal name — like “Muhammad Osman”.)

              that’s fair. At first glance Muhammad Chang sounds impossible as the two cultures are quite separate, but I tried to think of overlaps.

        Fallacies aren’t exclusive to debates. They’re more like brainfarts; when something goes wrong with your reasoning, there’s a fallacy. It doesn’t matter if you’re debating or even doing shit on your own.

        And, although not in this case*, fallacies are a big deal. One of the big ways we (human beings) cause each other harm is by not thinking things properly.

        *as you said OP is joking. A lot of jokes rely on fallacies, and that’s fine — it’s like you relax your reasoning for amusement. OP is also taunting bigots in 4chan, it’s kind of fun to see them screeching.

    Those wankers want to give you all the cons of being a woman but not the perks.

      yea that’s basically what being a trans woman is like

      you are sexualized and treated like a subordinate, but you don’t get the protection and assumption of innocence that (white) cis women have
