Where you have an unfavorable opinion of someone who enjoys reveling in victimhood. See whiner.
Extrapolation: Unfortunately, real shaming does exist, for example in "slut-shaming", criticizing a sexually active woman to get her to stop, be like your mother, and fit in a box. Shaming, however, has been co-opted by the therapy/legal drug industry, who consider all doubt or criticism of "ailments" as attacks or "shaming". For example, if a person can't stop eating sandwiches and you say, "Hey, maybe you shouldn't eat so many sandwiches," they scream—"SHAMING!"—pay their therapist, and eat another sandwich. They're sick, you see, and you're a fucking asshole.
