10. The Innocent-Looking Instigator aka The Selective Victim Card User
Ah yes, the one who walks in like a saint, they pose as the voice of reason, speak in polished platitudes, and craft the perfect image of calm leadership, and acts like they’re above all drama — while secretly handing out matches behind the scenes.
They play the peaceful composed “good one” in public, but in private? They’re fueling conflicts, silently cheering on those who stir the pot, and giving moral support to chaos — as long as it’s not directed at them. They’re not neutral, just calculated. They stir chaos in whispers, hide behind diplomacy when confronted, and only display moral outrage when it won’t cost them social points.
They never take a stand when others are attacked, don’t speak up when abuse happens, and pretend not to see the bullying — unless, of course, they become the target.
Then suddenly, it’s a full-blown meltdown, and they start playing the victim card on loop, acting like the universe just conspired to destroy the one innocent soul left online.
Their motto?
“If it’s not about me, it’s not my problem — but if it becomes about me, I want justice, empathy, and public sympathy immediately.”
They cry wolf when it’s convenient, but when others are bleeding, they hand out blindfolds.
And don’t be fooled by the polished image — behind that “voice of reason” tone is someone who knows exactly how to manipulate the room, without ever getting their hands dirty. They wear righteousness like a costume and victimhood like armor.
And if emotional manipulation were an Olympic sport? This one would not only compete — they’d host, judge, and collect the gold medal.
