That's a power dynamic thing, by terminating the conversation on your own terms you control the conversation, You had the last word so they're thinking about what you said. I use this one occasionaly when interacting with the general public when they're being a stupid, its actually quite hard to do correctly as it requires a good feel for the eb and flow of the conversation.
Charles Dance as Tywin Lannister uses this to dominate conversations in Game of thrones for example.
Naturally they usually do it incorrectly however, they terminate the arguement mid-flow when they're clearly upset and the other guys isnt and is pushing his point. They also announce they're doing it which is a mistake and they amplify this by adding a 'zinger'. This makes them look petulant and weak.
Toby should have gone with a softer less confronational version of his reply, where he simply states he doesnt believe her demographic buys his stuff. He calmly should have gone back and forth with her until he's clearly in control then terminate the conversation but doesnt acknowlague it at all and avoids mentioning comicgate for a while unless directly brought up.
But that's the differance between a authority figure and a tubby nerd. It's funny how Sjw's are obssesed with power but don't actualy know how to create it or carry the authority.
