The reason you call people out on this "millions of times" is because you use it incorrectly and seemingly just say it whenever. People telling you that you're wrong is not "begging the question", and, if anything, it is infinitely more fallacious of you to keep insisting that everyone else's premises are the false ones but yours are conveniently not.

You keep overlooking the most important part: you're using these fallacies wrong.

You simply don't like that they're telling you they think your opinions are bad because x, y, and z, so you resort to calling out fallacies that don't actually exist as some kind of means of handwaving away their criticisms against your own personal values or premises.
