Using the internet and media (even word-of-mouth) to expose hypocrisy in everyday situations to subversively benefit your own agenda (whether personal or organizational).
The Local Newspaper didn't cover the local music event... so, we used a Shame Campaign via tweets and emails to the larger media saying, "our town and its newspaper don't support the arts." The next week, we had a full page spread.

Get the shame savermug. 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.".
