Charity Shield

When you use the fact that you raised money for charity as a form of deflection against criticism for any oopsie you made. Very prominent on social media influencers and Youtubers.
Person 1: So have you heard about this guy who got himself into trouble on the internet?

Fan: WHY ARE PEOPLE SO FOCUSED ON HIS MISTAKES?! WHAT ABOUT ALL THOSE CHARITY RUNS HE DID IN THE PAST?!

Person 1: How does raising money for charity negate these actions? There's no such thing as a Charity Shield."
