Sometimes lack of terminology is disempowering - that which is unspoken ("un-named") dominating a conversation online or offline. For anyone appreciative of succinct terminology, perhaps "cry-bully" might be useful in certain conversations you have. Courtesy Daniel Greenfield.

Islam, Social Justice Warriors and the Cry-Bully I don't know if Cry-Bullies is the perfect word, but it captures the dynamic perfectly. November 7, 2015 Daniel Greenfield This phenomenon of the abuser-victim is ridiculously widespread these days. Every Social Justice Warrior that organizes a hate campaign quickly rushes to friendly media outlets to whine about harassment and their heroic stand against people doing to them what they do to others. I'm not sure if Cry-Bully is the best name for it, but I haven't come up with anything better for it. That's Julie Burchill's label at the Spectator. I've stripped out most of the UK pop culture references to focus on the point. This is the age of the Cry-Bully, a hideous hybrid of victim and victor, weeper and walloper. They are everywhere, these duplicit Pushmi-Pullyus of the personal and the political... In the 1970s, there was a big difference between bullies and cry-babies. Islamism is the ultimate Cry-Bully cause; on one hand stamping around murdering anyone who doesn’ t agree with you, on the other hand yelling ‘ISLAMOPHOBIA’ in lieu of having a real adult debate about the merits of your case. Their ‘helpline’ is even called Tell Mama – bless. The British-born Islamist recently sentenced to twelve years had no problem posing with severed heads (‘Heads, kaffirs, disgusting’) and asking friends back home to send him condoms which he planned to use raping women captured as ‘war booty’ but then claimed to be having nightmares and suffering from depression in order to escape jail. I would argue that the same brand of selfishness and dehumanization that leads to abusive behavior also leads to victimhood. We've known this about criminals for some time now. They're all victims. No matter what horrible things they did, someone else always drove them to it. They're self-centered enough not to care about anyone else while being exquisitely attuned to their own feelings. As I wrote a few weeks ago... The one thing that Muslim murderers excel at is playing the victim. Someone always “made” Mohammed do it. Someone got him so frustrated and upset that he had no choice but to rape and kill. There’s a term for the kind of people who think like this; criminals. There’s a term for the kind of people who defend them; leftists. The Muslim case for justice can be found in the books of a million police departments where all the stories begin with the criminal feeling sorry for himself and end in hospitals and morgues. The story always begins with, “I wanted what was coming to me” or “She shouldn’t have made me angry.” But this isn't limited to Muslims. You can see it in the Black Lives Matter tantrums. Or the anti-Gamergate crowd. They're the victims and it's always someone else's fault. The entire passive aggressive narrative of safe spaces (if you don't censor people who disagree with us, we're the victims) turns abusers into victims, censors into heroes defending their mental health from dissenting views and the victim-victor paradigm is constantly flipping from one to the other. One moment the SJW hero is doing an end zone dance over having defeated the latest cultural enemy. The next moment they're crying over mean stuff said to them on Twitter. They're narcissistic and insecure. They want to be treated as helpless heroes, victims of some terrible social disease (not that kind) that leaves them always out of power and yet always winning. Their sensitivities have to be accommodated and censorship is their trophy. They're all about inclusiveness for special people like them, while driving out and shutting up anyone who disagrees with them. I don't know if Cry-Bullies is the perfect word, but it captures the dynamic perfectly.
