The Logical Fallacy's definitions

Trans-Right

A person who is Authoritarian-Right but identifies as Libertarian, or vice versa.
Not to be confused with trans rights, something that people who are Trans-Right would be against.
Ben Shapiro may identify as a Libertarian, but a lot of his opinions are inherently authoritarian: ant-gay rights, anti-feminism, banning porn and drugs and corporate demagoguery over communal democracy under the flimsy pretense of a meritocracy.

Like a lot of other people of the Trans-Right, he thinks the Political Compass is a liberal conspiracy because it is more accurate than his own claims.

Redsploitation

A subgenre of exploitation film that focuses on native americans. Most commonly, native americans are portrayed by actors in red-face and involves exacting revenge on white antagonists.
"Somewhere in the grey area between the noble savage and the savage-savage lies the Redsploitation film. These gems of schlock cinema feature Natives getting off their knees and kicking white ass all over the West. The majority of these films follow a rigid formula: one hour of abusing the Native protagonist, and one hour of the Native protagonist murdering every white person who appears on screen. And like all great exploitation films, they're ridiculous in the best sense of the word. Apply your warpaint and ready the horses... it's time to unbury the hatchet."

Nazisploitation

A genre of exploitation cinema that focuses primarily on Nazis, Adolf Hitler and other associations of the third reich and Nazi Party. Notable themes include torture, rape, bondage, BDSM, S&M, sexual deviance, fascism, militarism, World War 2, concentration camps and Dieselpunk.
Neil: I'm telling you, man. "SS Girls" was a billion times more disturbing than "Women's Camp 119."
Craig: "Women's Camp 119" takes place in a frickin' extermination camp! If "SS Girls" had taken place in an extermination camp I'd agree with you. But it's in a whorehouse, so it might as well be a musical!
Gene: This is really a genre? Nazisploitation? You guys don't see anything wrong with this?
Neil: Oh, yes. God forbid somebody exploits the Nazis.
Gene:That's not what I meant dude...

Anti-Stratfordians

People who believe, to one capacity or another, the theory that William Shakespeare of Stratford did not write the plays that he had become famous for.
"There are certain people who believe that Shakespeare's plays are so sophisticated, so erudite, so brain-crapingly good that a middle-class kid from the Boondocks without a University degree couldn't possibly have written them. Why no one suspects the same from degree-less writers Maya Angelou, Truman Capote, Ray Bradbury, Mark Twain and Charles Dickens is anyone's guess. Still, the belief goes that only some one with a vast education and a noble soul could have designed such masterpieces. Shakespeare's too perfect not to be made by a perfect human. It is literary creationism."

Tropic of Fuckabout

The border that distinguishes whether or not the high difficulty of a video game makes the game "challenging but rewarding" or "frustrating and unrewarding."
"Finally, after much frustration and about 900 attempts, I've gotten the core on the ropes and I'm moments from landing the final blow, whereupon I glitch through the floor and fall to my death. No. That's too much. That's gone right over the Tropic of Fuckabout on a jet-ski full of dicks. I'm done. Fuck The Surge, fuck Deck13, fuck anyone who likes it. Blimey, that's filled my schedule out for the week."

Happenings

An art event, often staged or pre-scripted, that requires active participation from an audience to come to full fruition.
Fluxus art involved the viewer, relying on the element of chance to shape the ultimate outcome of the piece. The use of chance was also employed by Dada, Marcel Duchamp, and other performance art of the time, such as Happenings.
