The blanket assertion that any claim associated with "postmodernism" is automatically false, confused, or dangerous. The fallacy lies in treating a diverse, complex intellectual tradition as a monolithic error, and in using the label as a refutation rather than engaging specific ideas. "That's just postmodernism" becomes a conversation-ender, as if naming the tradition does the work of critique. But postmodernism includes many thinkers with different views; some may be right, some wrong, most complex. The label isn't the argument.
