A fallacy where someone dismisses all arguments of a person by labeling them a "relativist." The label functions as a dismissal: relativism is assumed obviously false, so if you're a relativist, nothing you say matters. The fallacy lies in treating the label as refutation, ignoring that there are sophisticated forms of relativism and that labeling someone doesn't engage their arguments. It's a conversation-ender dressed as philosophical critique.
