My friend just made me aware of a kind of word game people apparently play, where they bring up a thing but then it's wrong if you comment on that thing?

Say, I say in a conversation that I do something because of my OCD, but then magically someone talking to me shouldn't be allowed to refer back to my OCD? Like, unless I give explicit permission?

Is it just me or are the rules of conversation fucking weird as shit?

I have literally no clue what your friend is talking about. Outside of, idk, "selectively reclaimed" slurs or whatever.

I. Don't think this is a thing? Or not a thing people who aren't passive aggressive assholes do? But I'm honestly baffled. Weird as shit indeed.
