Verbatimist 

noun | ver·ba·tim·ist | /vər-ˈbā-tə-məst/

A person who insists on interpreting or responding to language strictly as it is worded, often ignoring context, tone, implied meaning, or clarification—typically in order to maintain a flawed or incomplete argument.

Notes:
• Often used pejoratively to describe individuals who rely on overly literal interpretations to deflect criticism or avoid addressing the actual message.
• Related to behaviors seen in rhetorical deflection, bad-faith debate, or pedantic argument styles.
