When discussing various topics revolving around modern dating, NAXALT will basically be the only logical fallacy thrown at you by midwits. The structure is simple, and we've seen it a bazillion times:
Incel: Women only want chads, look at this dating app data, the majority of likes go to the top 5%...
Soy: Well, not all...
NAXALT stands for "not all X are like that," as opposed to AWALT, or "all women are like that." The fallacy lies in the rejection of a strong statistical trend, which can be demonstrated empirically, in favor of individual exceptions. Meaning, if the majority of couples under the age of 30 meet online, and if the majority of women indeed go for the most attractive men, it simply doesn't matter that a Reddit user knows John, who's not that good-looking, and who met Sally offline. It's the "begging the exception fallacy," and it's anecdotal.
NAXALT can always be made in the face of any generalization one dislikes. In practical reality, there will always be exceptions, no matter how small or irrelevant. And it takes no brainpower to do so. One can make a generalization like "Birds fly," only to be met with, "Excuse me, penguins don't." And one can outsource the thinking to CuckGPT. A soy can just copy and paste a post made on this forum and ask the AI to "critique it." But the "critique" will come in the form of NAXALT.
