        That won’t do. Everyone knows gods protect fools, and madness is practically a subset of traditional divinity. Lumping these people in with insane idiots is very disrespectful.

        I think it’s already called a Straw Man.

        Someone fake that people will attack and ridicule. And then, when pointed out that it’s fake, people will backtrack and say silly things like “there are people actually this stupid and crazy” without an oz of awareness that nearly all their examples of others acting like that are, also, straw men.
