shame link

Adding a hyperlink to any digital communication with the intent to shame whatever that link points to, or to shame the message receiver
I added a few shame links to my blog post so people don't have to do their own research about the bad guys.

Split screen, Duet videos where people throw shade is a form of shame linking. It's like pointing at someone's misfortune and yelling "Look at how awful they are!!!"

Shame linking can be a form of digital bullying if the person/entity hasn't already been cancelled. Shame links can go viral due to schadenfreude.

attention shaming

The practice on social media (Facebook in particular) of chastising others for responding to the news they are responding to, accusing them of being distracting from "more important" issues, as determined by the scolder.
Lauren's most recent episode in attention shaming Dirk was for tweeting about Sean Spicer's latest gaffe instead of a new report from Greenpeace on the near extinction of Zimbabwean duck-billed platypi due to climate change.

Walk of Shame

When Andrew Jackson forced the native Americans to leave their land and go to Oklahoma in the early 1800's.
Teacher: Many Native Americans died on that journey, that's why it's called the trail of tears
Joe: no, it was called the walk of shame, because they were ashamed to leave their land.

country shaming

To make a disparaging or unflattering statement about an entire country or its people, either due to malice or insensitivity. What's important is the context in which the statement is said and the person's motive for saying it rather than whether it is true or not. A journalist could state that country X is the poorest in the region or has a high level of crime out of an earnest desire to inform the audience, but he/she may also have the desire to tarnish the image of the said country due to their own biases. Other more clear examples of country shaming include referring to countries as "sh*tholes", saying things like "your country doesn't matter" or "nobody ever goes there", and bringing up unflattering statistics about a country to mock someone.
Telling someone their country is poor and insignificant is a form of country shaming.
