Please note that this website is currently a work in progress! Lots of interesting data and statistics to come.
Glad she threw in "The Fallacy Fallacy" too many people forget that one. But I wish she mentioned the "The Novel Fallacy" when she talked about the appeal to nature.
Appeal to authority is NOT what she said. Appeal to authority is claiming that because an expert said it, that makes it true. An expert in particle physics claiming something about particle physics is true because she said it, does not make it so. Accepting ideas based on (legitimate) authority is one of the most horrendous logical fallacies which exists.
There is a variation of it called appeal to false authority, but as a logical fallacy that is a redundant specification.

This is informative, but reddit rhetoricians love "calling out" what they believe to be logical fallacies. Calling something a straw man when it isn't, fails to address what your conversation partner is arguing.
So, just take this with a grain of salt. Calling out logical fallacies does not give you the win. You still need to have a conversation with someone if you want to change their mind.
I find so many of these are just part of conversation, sometimes ironically, sometimes just try out an extremity corner case against someone's point. Trying to edit all fallacies out of my own speech would definitely make me a lot less able to generally converse. People love to share hates, and justify them for partly humorous (false) reasons to avoid deeper, ego challenging underlying character choices. It's all part of the great chinwag of life.
Fucking great... Now everyone on reddit is going to be pointing out what they believe are logical fallacies for the next couple of days
All the people who need to watch this will either not watch it or think it doesn't apply to them.
tu quoque is also more commonly known as whataboutism.
Don't go to Thanksgiving dinner and start pointing out the logical fallacies of your family members unless you actually like looking like a pretentious jackass. Do yourself a favor and agree with them about...literally everything.
Mashed potatoes taste better when people aren't throwing them.
