A fallacy where someone dismisses arguments by labeling them "postmodernism." The label functions as intellectual dismissal: if it's postmodernist, it's automatically confused, relativist, or dangerous. The fallacy lies in treating the label as refutation, ignoring that postmodernism is a complex tradition and that labeling an argument doesn't engage its content. It's a way of feeling sophisticated while avoiding thought.
