victim armor

any disorder, trait, characteristic, attribute, feature, or other detail invoked with the intention of portraying one as a victim in an attempt to render them irreproachable

Stop trying to use your diagnosis as victim armor, it still won't excuse your behavior!

Retroactive Justification

When you call someone out who's wronged you and they try to use your response, anger, or retaliation to justify what they did.

Person A: "I only lied because I knew you'd react like this!"
Person B: "That's some retroactive justification bullshit! That's not how time works. The cause happens BEFORE the result, dumbass!"
