Flame shift

To deflect judgment for being a terrible person and/or doing terrible things by jumping on the momentum of hate toward someone else. Typically used by canceled influencers/celebs in an attempt to regain public favor and win back their audience.

Despite being extremely problematic figures in their own right, Jeffree Star and James Charles have chosen to flame shift to Mikayla Nogueria for lying to her fans, hoping that the community will forget their much worse misdeeds.

Frame shifting

Nope. You just using my own accusations against me as an exercise far call all of you worthless fucking panhandler.

Hym "I don't talk about having any responsibility. YOU'RE THE ONE who claims to have responsibilities. And I ASKED YOU ALL when YOUR RESPONSIBILITY TO OTHER PEOPLE (Me to you) ACTUALLY EXTENDS to other people. If everyone around me has a responsibility (As I SUPPOSEDLY do) to other people... At what point so THEIR RESPONSIBILITY TO ME... ACTUALLY INTERACT.... WITH ME... at ANY level? When does the 'responsibility to others' that YOU SAY WE ALL HAVE (and NOT ME I didn't say that) interact with me? NEVER. Fucking never! Because you don't actually believe the shit you believe for YOU. YOUR responsibility to EVERYONE is you doing whatever you feel like doing and EVERYONE'S responsibility to YOU is 'Accepting their responsibility to "other people" (i.e. YOU) and not tainting your perfect with their plight.' Avoiding the question and frame shifting. It's all ANY of you do. It's free money."

frameshift

When, on a scantron or similar bubble-in sheet, you leave one answer blank or grid an answer in twice, leading all subsequent answers to be gridded wrong. Usually takes about 5 more fill-ins before one starts frantically erasing and re-gridding.

OMG! I only scored a 700 on my SATs?! *looks at answer packet*... Damn frameshift.
