    Is there a name for the trope where someone gets upset so they stop listening, even if you’re right?

        I think Conservative might be a better word for this

      There’s probably a German word for it

            because that doesn’t make any sort of sense in german; it’s nonsense ;)

            ETA: “waffenspiel” is the only actually german part of that. and the translation for that is accurate (weapons’ game), but also kinda nonsensical, especially without proper context.

            the rest is just straight up not a word…
