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: "According to the data I gathered, this plane has a better thrust to weight ratio and turn rate than this other plane..."
Tim: "Doesn't matter. It depends on who is flying it."
Kyle: "Are you really gonna drop the Rooster quote?"

Quote fishing is a word referring to the act of somebody posting or making a “quote” that they think is meaningful but in actuality it’s just forced, on their story with the hope of it being screenshot and going “viral”
Example include: “iF yOu diDn’T sPEak tO mE in LOcKdOWn dOn’T sPeaK to mE aT scHOol”

A portmanteau of "mocking" and "motivational," a mockivational quote is a satirical or cynical take on the traditional motivational quote. This type of quote often employs humor, sarcasm, or irony to challenge the overly optimistic, simplistic, or cliché nature of conventional motivational sayings.
Mockivational quotes are not intended to demotivate or discourage, but rather to provoke thought, question conventional wisdom, or provide a humorous perspective on life's challenges. They can serve as a form of comedic relief, particularly in contexts where traditional motivational advice seems inapplicable, inadequate, or overly idealistic.

This kind of people will only continue a problem, or worsen it, and will not solve it, creating a vicious circle. And/or this kind people will also create new problems for their ego

I don't usually open Discord but I have the notification enabled, and recently I saw the notification that the Internet Archive is being sued by book publishers. I think it's suicide in a quote or "suicide" because they do it for money, and later they will regret it because it worth more than money and once they lost, they cannot be recovered. They're starting another Alexandria Library burning but this time, they burn their own wisdom or knowledge
Some are not grateful and keep hoarding money by using greedy practices or corruption, even they're already rich, for some reason

Whoever who was bullied but then supports bullying is the type of person who suicide in a quote. Why would you support bullying if you have bullied? You're killing yourself
-----
Someone cares you and accepts you openly crying, but you suicide in a quote by saying "crying is not manly," in favour of "masculinity." How stupid are you? How dare you sacrifice yourself for a fake masculinity or toxic masculinity? Hypocrisy is like leukemia, it will kill yourself when you need a help or support, and remember that there's a fine line between bravery and stupidity. Not all cries are weak, and we men aren't taught about positive cries, like in cute art. Stop gendering bullshit, there's no such thing as genders in basic human feelings and anything inanimate/intangible, and it is a taboo that designed to limit certain demographics from becoming great

To tell a fib or to make something up.
To paraphrase so outrageously that all likeness to the original comment is lost.
To invent statistics from thin air.
