I just learned a brand-new term for this: It's called the "Goomba Fallacy"[1]

The history of this term goes back… one year? (from a rather unpopular meme) I’m all for introducing new vocab in english but it feels like there should already be a term for this.
Maybe “population fallacy”: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ecological_fallacy ?
The population fallacy is when one infers information about an individual from the group, which wasn't done here as there is no specific individual in question. The population fallacy is seeing that some demographic likes to do a thing more than other demographics and thinking therefore any given subject in that demographic likes to do that thing.
