Blame Canada

A previously existing phrase that became exceedingly popular in the Northeast following the massive "Northeast Blackout of 2003" that originated in Ontario. The blackout affected parts of Ohio, New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Michigan, Massachusetts, Connecticut and Rhode Island for a total of 45 million Americans. While US officials blamed Canada for the outage, Canadian officials blamed several US states including New York and Pennsylvania.

Blaming the beasts

A term used amongst players of the Guilty Gear game franchise to describe the actions of a person who, in their eyes, is choosing to complain about the game and its features rather than improving.

Originates in reference to the round into speech, with the full line being "Mankind knew they could not change society, so instead of reflecting on themselves, they blamed the beasts"

As such, it's also a way of telling a person to go reflect on their style of playing and reconsider themselves.
"How is Nagoriyuki high tier? He actively kills himself when using his tools?"

We had KPMG come in and perform analysis on our project. They said all the right things, and we knew they would, but we were just investing in a blame shield should things go south down the track.
