Does anyone have a name for this one coping mechanism that I've noticed? Basically, people cope with their problems by projecting them onto other people. For example, if someone is overweight and is trying to lose weight, they will complain about other people (usually their family members) being "overweight" (putting this in quotes because I see them talking to non-overweight people, saying things like "I haven't seen you exercise in a while").
Seriously this coping mechanism needs to stop. I'm tired of having other people's problems projected onto me, just because they can't get their life together.
I mean I have my own problems too, but using me and exaggerating my problems to cope with your own problems doesn't help you at all.

@xianc78 you see this literally all the time with anime/loli haters ending up either liking loli or just being straight up pedos who are caught with CP and trying to have sex with children.

@beardalaxy @xianc78 Isn't this itself projection? That the group that dislikes loli is full of pedophiles instead of the group that faps to drawings of children
The default opinion is against loli, even to the point where it's illegal in most places, so anytime anyone anywhere does something criminal it's not surprising they were either against it or said nothing on the topic
If they did say anything pro-loli, they wouldn't survive in the public. The exception would be Japs (where lolicon is synonymous with pedophile), and there's no small number of counter-examples of lolicon artists or mangakas tracing pics, drawing real kids, or mangakas caught with IRL CP
