mother-shaming

When someone shames a woman for getting pregnant or being a mother.

People were so mother-shaming toward Sarah by telling her that she wouldn't be able to be a mother since she was a teenager, single, and poor, that she felt pressured into an abortion and later had PTSD from it.

Teen-shaming

When your teenager acts extra cool while implying that you're old and lame.

"That's not even a word" she said walking sideways up the stairs, as she was totally teen-shaming me.

earth shaming

The practice of making those you feel don't do enough for the environment like subpar humans.

After admitting she drank 3 cases of bottled water per week and didn't recycle the plastic, she felt subjected to earth shaming by her peers.

pandemic shaming

When someone calls others out for not following social distancing rules during the COVID-19 pandemic, whether in person or on social media.

When I mentioned to Karen that I went out twice this week for groceries, she told me that I should only be going out once a week at most and that I was putting other people in danger by my selfish choices.

Karen was pandemic shaming me...

vodka shaming

When others attempt to make you feel bad about yourself because of the amount of vodka you can consume.

My guy was totally vodka shaming me tonight when he saw me polish off a half gallon of vodka we picked up less than a week ago. I told him to fuck off and let me do me.

Drink Shaming

When ordering a drink at a bar or from a waiter/waitress and you are shamed for your order because it doesn't fit the social norm.

"I would like to order a fruity beer please"...."isn't that what a sorority girl would order?"
"Hey man! Why are you Drink Shaming me? I happen to like a cold Ruby!"

trauma shaming

When someone who has been affected mentally or psychologically by a trauma, or even a bad upbringing, is criticized for the behavior they display as a result of the trauma, with those criticizing seemingly forgetting, or not knowing the reason behind this behavior. Some may continue to criticize the person with the trauma even when explained the reason, claiming that the trauma doesn't "justify" their behavior. In the case of fictional characters, expect one to call a trauma-stricken character "annoying" for lashing out.

Commenter: "Ugh, just watching Degrassi Junior High right now and Spike is so rude towards Shane! Like why is she like that towards that poor boy?"
Another commenter: "Dude, she literally has an absent father and she got pregnant at 14. Stop trauma shaming.".
