Sometimes I just ignore anon hate because theres a proverb I learnt in a Nigerian movie that said.
‘You cannot run naked after a mad man in the street after he has taken your clothes away from you because the public will not know who is the mad person between the two of you’

I feel like this proverb was based on firsthand experience.

That is weirdly specific but also a pretty good point

The version I learned was “Never wrestle with a pig. You only end up covered in mud and the pig enjoys it.”

I’ve also seen “Never play chess with a pigeon. The pigeon will just knock over the pieces, shit on the board, and strut around like it won the game.”
