Performative suffering

People who try to use suffering as moral leverage, even while they are currently not suffering themselves, or the suffering is of their own doing.

"Did you hear Bill whining about his issues with women?"

"Didn't he cheat on his girlfriend last Saturday? He can't be serious. This is just performative suffering."
