1. An easily triggered person, even without the intent of offending them. This is either a person with unresolved mental baggage from previous offenses or a person, who is spoiled/unaware to the point of expectation of special treatment in form of courtesy and spending your time/resources on them in excess of basic decency.
2. Projecting oneself onto one's perceptions and interpretations of already fairly vague (and subject to interpretation) historic generalizations or statistics, especially when one has close to none personal involvement in them, and then using it to justify own specific actions. For example: "women have been sexually objectified" therefore I have a right to slap men's butts as they've been "loaning this right" for millennia.
3. Similar to 2. but a lot more cherry picking and ignorant to one's position/not self-aware. For example when a relatively safe and wealthy first world country person - anywhere from the lower middle class or higher - is complaining about being an oppressed minority, while not really being either a minority nor abused nor as 'systematically and unfairly limited' as they claim to be, in fact, it's likely to be, in some ways, the opposite and they're just an overly egotistical individual.
4. The term could also be used to ridicule - by abusers for the sake of promoting normalization of their former abuses and ignorant normies - their ignorance of witnessing abuse.

by veinsofgold April 16, 2021
A form of mental gymnastics used by selfish people to avoid accountability, or to avoid admitting they are an asshole. Related to princess syndrome and narcissism.
Symptoms include:
being easily offended,
making everything dramatic,
lack of improvement in life,
somehow being the victim of every story they tell,
fixation on negative events,
blaming others for their actions,
starting unnecessary conflicts,
obsession with identity politics,
poor understanding of boundaries,
lack of respect for others,
unwilling to take responsibility,
and a sense of entitlement.

Person 1: "Can I borrow you car?"
Person 2: "No, I need to run some errands."
Person 1: "Geez you don't have to be an asshole, I'm just trying to go get some food because im poor and starving and have a broken leg. Your literally attacking me as a person. Do you know how many people kill themselves because of people like you?"
Person 2: "Please go to counciling for your victim mentality."

Literally the WORST quality to a human being ever. Bar fucking none. We might as well officially declare it the 8th deadly sin.
It's very common among those who are incapable of taking a harmless little joke and take every single thing so goddamn personally; the biggest red flag is how they'd always accuse someone of "bullying" them then get all defensive when they predictably get told otherwise, refusing to admit they're wrong and work on growing a thick skin and learning to control themselves.

A: "They were bullying me yesterday"
B: "Bruh, they were only teasing. Drop your victim mentality and grow up."
