fauxpressed

Pretense of victimhood or oppression in order to win undeserved sympathy and notice.

fauxpression

The claim of some kind of oppression or other adverse condition being inflicted against the claimant personally or to a group/faith to which the claimant belongs to that is obviously hyperbolic or at least certainly exaggerated in terms of severity.
