Another related fallacy I see all the time is dismissing a problem by inventing a terrible solution.
E.g.
Climate change is real -> "So you are saying we should just shut down all industry and go back to the dark ages"
The establishment of Israel was unethical -> "So you are saying we should just push all the Jews currently living in Israel into the sea."
Even asking a question shows a fallacy, since it implies that the existence of an adequate solution is related to the truth of the existence of the problem. A very common example is
There might be innate differences in ability/interests between men and women -> "If this was true, what would that imply? What is your end goal here"
