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

PBF aka Pretend Boyfriend is a convenient imaginary boyfriend who often comes in handy in many ways, such as excuse to get out of doing something, turning down a date, etc.
