Rooster quote

It is also "Rooster argument". The origin comes from the callsign of Bradley Bradshaw "Rooster" from movie Top Gun: Maverick. In the movie, Rooster and his pilot Pete "Maverick" Mitchell escape a hostile airbase using a F-14A Tomcat before being intercepted by a pair of 5th-Generation Sukhoi Su-57 Felon fighters. Maverick says that the F-14A objectively cannot handle a 5th-Gen fighter but Rooster refutes by dropping the famous quote: "It's not the plane, it's the pilot". (Rooster also said this earlier in the film where he got furious towards Maverick pulling out his papers in the academy.)

A lot of the people who are into military aviation (especially in video games) who debate the 'hard factors' of an aircraft (i.e. debating the flight performance of the F-86F vs MiG-15bis) will usually use this quote to refute the argument based on their skill or in general. Completely ignoring the point of the argument just so they feel better.

Kyle: "Are you really gonna drop the Rooster quote?"

quote farming

When a writer forces overly "deep" and dramatic lines into their work purely to be highlighted or shared online, even if the moment doesn't call for it.
Similar to clipfarming, but for literature- manufacturing quotable moments instead of letting them happen at suitable times
Half the dialogue felt like the writers were auditioning for a Pinterest board, just relentless quote farming
