Meaning
This reads as a refusal to let hostility set the terms. It can be taken to mean that chasing universal approval is a trap, especially when criticism comes from people who are already set against you. It lands for anyone working in public view, where the healthier move is often to stay focused on the work instead of trying to win over every detractor.
