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.".

Get the trauma shamingmug. Shaming or dismissing someone for aspects of their existence they had no control over (parents, genetics, place of birth etc) which people consider to be "privilege" today.
Becky : Tom, you can't have an opinion on abortion because you're a dude. #maleprivilage
Jesse : Becky, you can't just privilege shame Tom. He's a gynecologist for crying out loud.

Get the spot of shamemug. The look someone gives you when you to silently inform you of the uncoolness you may accidentally be radiating. They are do so by raining their shame rays down upon you. Shame Rays are usually a silent expression on the face of an onlookers witnessing your public gaucherie, but may be accompanied by a 'wait- what?' and raised eyebrows.
'On Friday when I was drunk, I tried to explain to a bunch of my co-workers what 'Neat Pet Group' is on Facebook and how it fills my newsfeed with pics of cool dogs... and how this video popped up where this dog didn't know how to respond to the command 'get down', so it did all the tricks it knew...and well, then they gave it a treat anyway because that was cute, you know?' Everyone was silent during the build-up to and post- this rather considerable anti-climax. I felt their shame-rays raining down on me as I plowed on through the increasingly staggered and awkward story to the inevitable and disappointing conclusion. So that was my evening.
