You do see how these are very different from being told to lie to enrich someone else?
Like if you said someone told you to kill yourself in fortnite so they could win a polymarket bet that would at least be related and a fun comparison story.
This is like saying, well sure you shot your husband for beating you but, me, I ignored it for years when my sister was being abused by her husband. Its not related and just sorta makes you look miserable and bad in comparison rather than relatable.
You can reply how you want but this is not gonna go well in conversation.
