„you are [insert bad person here]”

„why would you think that?”

„he speaks chinese. you speak chinese. he happens to be an asshole. you speak Chinese just like him, so therefore you are probably an asshole like him.”

    In addition to the others this is also an association fallacy.

    For example, a fallacious arguer may claim that “bears are animals, and bears are dangerous; therefore your dog, which is also an animal, must be dangerous.”

      Dogs are dangerous though, that’s the thing. Cuteness overload is a real and serious condition! It’s the silent killer.
