When I see new graffiti on the walls of the place I work as a janitor, I just ignore it since we don't have the chemicals needed to actually clean that shit off. We're supposed to; there's even one of those process picture board signs for that and gum in the broom closet. My boss just never fucking gets us what we need.
Sometimes the need to say something is worth death, nevermind someone getting paid to clean it up. Truth and genuine expression is bigger than the constructs we live in.
This is a more general situation but not exactly the same i think
"Everyone is a villain" says, a pov exists where you're the villain.
Here is more "one will fake a story where you are the villain" (a specific case where the pov in which you are the villain is faked to protect someone's interests)
I've seen the second a lot in breakups were one will find every excuse possible to not think they are the asshole, including gaslighting themselves into thinking the other is a monster respinsible for the whole thing.
I used to have a coworker who had an ongoing affair for 10+ years, but made herself feel better about it by pointing out that I was gay and an atheist. I never understood her logic.
Especially since adultry being a sin is one of the 10 Commandments, and homosexuality being a sin is from the same book that says mixed fiber clothing and shellfish are sins.
Of course, that's all ignoring the fact that homosexuality being a sin is likely a mistranslation, with the actual translation being 'raping male children is a sin.'
And then I internalise that I'm a bad person and feel guilty for making them be disappointed in me and upsetting them, and being selfish and stuff, and what they did to me feels justified, as it was punishment for me being so bad, and they have the right to do whatever they want to me

This sage presumably does not feel guilty about the janitor who is going to have to use harsh chemicals and a lot of scrubbing to remove the graffiti.

your boss probably pretends you’re a bad person so he won’t feel guilty

My favorite version of this is "everyone's the villain in someone's story".

Thats essentially guilt tripping in a nutshell. The thing is, everyone can be a victim of manipulation without even knowing it ❤️.

Sometimes, people want another person around so that they can blame their own failure to another person.
