Is there a name for the fallacy/debate tactic when someone just throws out unrelated attacks on character or intelligence?
I.e. "he's so stupid he probanly thinks [thing noone mentioned in the debate]"
Similar to strawmanning but unrelated to the claims, rather just blind accusations.

Not a fallacy. If you're an incel and you're trying to argue a point, I can just call you an incel and you lose. Doesn't matter what you think.

Same with fat people, weak men, chinless betas.

The only thing that matters in an argument is power.
