Shame-Flation

Blaming "Cancel Culture" and playing the victim when someone gets blowback for doing or saying something awful, hurtful, and/or upsetting.

We all make mistakes, and it's liberating to own them, apologize, grow, and learn to be a better person. So why does everyone on Fox shame-flation responses to their bile and play the victim by blaming Cancel Culture?

Everyone has a first amendment right to say what they want, and everyone has a first amendment right to answer crappy things with anything from gentle criticism to harsh blowback.

Shame dating

Two people who hang out and have sex, but never go out in public together. Either because they don’t want to be seen together, or the relationship is just about sex.
A glorified ‘fuck buddy’. The two may talk about taking things in the direction of actual dating, but never do.

Jordan: Hey aren’t you and Ryan going for dinner tonight? You’ve been hanging out for ages!

Alice: we’ve spoken about it, but I think he just wants me to go to his place wearing lingerie so he can tie me to his bed.

Jordan: Oh really? You guys are definitely shame dating.

Alice: Yep! 🤷🏻 ♂️

shame spiral

A shame spiral characterizes the loss of self-control over something that makes one feel worthless and pathetic. Due to these feelings of low self-worth and guilt, the action that triggered the shame spiral is repeated and the degradation of one's self continues. It is a cycle that repeats itself, bringing one down further as it repeats. Example triggers for shame spirals could be excesses of junk food, alcohol, meaningless sex, buying unnecessary gifts for oneself and the like.

Out-of-shape Bob: "I had McDonalds for lunch today and now I am ordering myself a pizza. I am on a serious shame spiral. I hate myself. Ugh."

Shopalholic Sue: "My rent check yesterday bounced but today there was this cute pair of shoes on sale and I had to buy them. How do I get out of this shame spiral?"

Rubbing one index finger down the other index finger in a gesture of admonishment, like peeling a carrot.

In light of your inappropriate behavior, I can only make shame carrots at you.
