Victim Playing

Form of gaslighting where someone acts like the victim after wronging you. For instance, if someone ends up saying you're harassing them saying "you're sensitive" or "grow up". This form of manipulation causes a lot of damage in relationships and leads people to feel they are the "issue" after all. This behavior has been seen by entitled people mainly "Karen's" and "Chad's". In the end people who victim play do not take responsibility for initiating an issue and end up making you out to be the issue. They will commonly say things like "yes, but everyone is using skull emojis", etc. They have serious issues accepting responsibility for their actions of any sorts in society. They often call the police on people when they feel wronged or end up calling for "backup".

I punched you because everyone is mean. This is an example of victim playing.

Avedøre Victim

A man emotionally and physically exploited by his wife’s unstoppable shopping addiction. Most commonly spotted in or around Avedøre, Denmark — a place where hope goes to die and delivery drivers cry.

The Avedøre Victim spends every day fetching endless “small” packages ordered online, from obscure pickup locations, lockers, and post offices, often without warning. He is promised love, peace, or at least dinner — but receives none. Instead, he returns home carrying three overstuffed IKEA bags and a crushed soul.

Known symptoms include:

Chronic back pain from lifting "just one more parcel"

PTSD triggered by GLS and PostNord logos

A dead look in the eyes when asked “Can you just pick it up on your way?”

Often used jokingly, but there’s a dark truth behind the term. If you see one: offer help, or at least a cold beer.

“Bro, I haven’t seen Frederik in weeks.”
“Yeah, poor guy became an Avedøre Victim. Last I heard, he was carrying 12 packages from Min Købmand while crying.”
