A form of Objectivity Bias where one invokes "objectivity" as a magic wand to dismiss opposing views without engaging them. The fallacy lies in claiming that one's own position is simply objective reality while the opponent's is biased, ideological, or subjective—without demonstrating why this is so. "You're not being objective" becomes a conversation-ender, a way of positioning oneself as the neutral arbiter of truth while dismissing all alternatives as merely perspectival. This fallacy allows the speaker to claim the mantle of objectivity without actually doing the work of demonstrating why their view deserves that label.
