   * Cyberbullies and [[tactics:suicide-trolling|suicide trolls]] may justify their attacks by accusing the victim of being cyberbullies or suicide trolls.
   * People engaged in [[tactics:dox|doxxing]] or [[tactics:swatting]] may justify those attacks by claiming their victims were doing the same thing.

+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.
