 Mirroring can be used many ways, such as a [[tactics:stonewalling]] tactic, by [[tactics:victim-card|playing the victim]], or to hit an exposed [[tactics:flank]] of an enemy's reputation. It is sometimes deployed in conjunction with [[tactics:sealioning]]. It is commonly used by [[hazards:gatekeepers]], [[hazards:shills]] and [[hazards:cults]]. Mirroring can be used many ways, such as a [[tactics:stonewalling]] tactic, by [[tactics:victim-card|playing the victim]], or to hit an exposed [[tactics:flank]] of an enemy's reputation.

 +This is a very common tactic used by gatekeepers and agent provocateurs. Sometimes they will attack to provoke the victim into complaining. The attacker will then use the complaint as "proof" that the victim is the one bullying the attacker. It is a form of [[tactics:lying#gaslighting|gaslighting]]. Sometimes they may escalate this charade far enough to recruit [[hazards:flying monkeys]] to continue the attack for them.
