When someone farts and blames it on someone else, usually a smaller child or someone that can not represent or defend themselves in the accusation.

A contractor, employee or provider who is engaged by a party simply so that party can point at them at a later juncture should anything go wrong. Often performed by large corporations or government bodies where the permanent staff need to pass the buck in order to retain their comfy positions.
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.

Blind Blame (otherwise known as Blindfolded Blame) is when someone accuses something or someone else of something that is actually the fault of either the Blind Blamer's own short-comings, or a lack of understanding the other side's perspective/reasoning. The lack of both self-reflection and seeing other perspectives makes it a form of Miserablism, and is most done by students and some political activists.
Examples of Blind Blame include:
• Students (who dont pay attention or study any good) blaming teachers or the education system for their bad grades, without thinking about 1: if they maybe didnt study well, didnt pay attention or just never bothered asking questions, or 2: the reasons the teacher has for giving them that grade, and the reasons the education system has for working the way it does.
• Political activists (who are bad with money and lack good work ethics) blaming capitalism for why they're poor and calling for communism, despite not taking into account 1: their own financial decisions and how their resumé looks in current job market, or 2: why communism usually leads to even more poverty and how capitalism, while not perfect, has more opportunities for monetary success
Note: remember that these examples are not saying that blaming teachers or politicians is always Blind Blame. There's a reason I specified "who dont pay attention" and "who lack good work ethics" in these subjects. Its just those subjects with these traits that I am reffering to

A form of shifting blame by taking part of the blame and then shifting the main part of the blame ro another even though your completly at fault.

Randomly placing blame on a third party for something that someone else has done. Made popular by the song "United Hates Guitars." The song inadvertently places blame on Ms. Irlweg who works at the airline. Irlweg has become the scapegoat of the broken guitar incident.
In the company lunchroom: Who left the soda in the freezer? It exploded and the entire freezer is covered in frozen cola. (Silence - no one speaks up).
"Blame Irlweg."
Everyone laughs and accepts the conclusion.
"Alright people, get back to work."
"Blame Irlweg."
Everyone laughs and accepts the conclusion.
"Alright people, get back to work."

Victim blaming is when you rape a woman and then accuse her,because she was dressed like a slut and obviously wanted to be raped.This is often creating a Slutwalk and would be normal in a Rape Culture.
Sanguinetti said:"women should avoid dressing like sluts in order not to be victimized“.This is obviously victim blaming.
