Sensivism

Sensivism (from Latin sensus — feeling, sensitivity + suffix -ism) — a form of psychological abuse, consisting in artificial creating unfounded reasons for aggression towards the victim, characterized by hypersensitivity and the exaggeration of unjustified causes used to legitimize aggressive behavior.

The key driver of hatred here is rooted in unreasonably exaggerated feelings, aimed to justify the aggressive behavior in advance and try to look like the provoked one.

For instance, a person1 murdered person2, because the person2 looked at person1 in a strange way.

That is sensitivism since the actions are disproportionate to the reasons
A culprit, all of the sudden stabbing a young lady on a bus, is pure form of sensivism
