Proxy Argument 

Having an argument through a messenger.
So Sarah could say something to Steve than Steve says that to Iron Man than Iron Man gives a response to Steve, who then relays that to Sarah. Repeat to infinity.

After Iron Man killed Steve's dog, they got in a proxy argument through Sarah.

Proxy Digitallighting

A form of digitallighting where the gaslighting is performed not directly by the original antagonist but by proxies—friends, followers, or automated bots—who amplify the disinformation, harassment, and reality‑distortion. The original instigator maintains plausible deniability (“I didn’t say that; my followers just care”), while the proxy network executes the attack. Proxy digitallighting makes it difficult for targets to identify their abuser and impossible to escape the coordinated assault.

Example: “He never directly harassed her, but his 5,000 followers suddenly flooded her mentions with doctored screenshots—proxy digitallighting, using a mob to do the dirty work.”

pig by proxy 

A narcissistic individual who thinks they should have the same respect and authority as a police officer because they have a friend or relative who is a cop.

Validation by proxy 

To feel better about oneself by viewing oneself not as an individual but as part of a larger group. In this state, one need not accomplish anything oneself but can take great pride in the accomplishments of others as though they are personal accomplishments because the group is viewed a personal extension.

'Yea we won!"

"No the Steelers won. You just watched the game on TV."

"Same thing."

"No It's not, it's your validation by proxy."
