Projection is a defense mechanism that consists of attributing one’s own unacceptable urges or behavior to another.<ref><nowiki>https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/basics/projection</nowiki></ref> Because Cyaxx refuses to admit any fault, he has the habit of detaching anything negative that is said about him and throws it back at whoever said it. What peculiarly strikes is how transparent Cyraxx’s projection is. For instance, he accused his aunt of living in filth and playing pretend on videogames all day, seemingly not considering the sheer irony of these words coming from the mouth of someone who is known by all for being both very unhygienic and highly delusional. | Projection is a defense mechanism that consists of attributing one’s own unacceptable urges or behavior to another.<ref><nowiki>https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/basics/projection</nowiki></ref> Because Cyaxx refuses to admit any fault, he has the habit of detaching anything negative that is said about him and throws it back at whoever said it.

Cyraxx’s weak repartee and low intelligence might also contribute to his habit of projecting onto others. Being uncapable of coming up with comebacks in the heat of the moment, he will resort to repeating insults that he has heard before, including insults that were specifically made about him. | Cyraxx’s weak repartee and low intelligence might also contribute to his habit of projecting onto others. Being uncapable of coming up with comebacks in the heat of the moment, he will resort to repeating insults that he has heard before, including insults that were specifically made about him. For example, Cyraxx made a video where he complains about the controversy surrounding Linkin Park's new singer, Emily Armstrong, due to her ties with the [[wikipedia:Scientology|Church of Scientology]] cult. A few days later, while on Marty's panel, he slanderously accuses Marty of being a Scientologist, which he believes if an "evil internet cult". It is most likely that Cyraxx deducted from the aformentionned controversy that being a Scientologist is something really bad, and thus he can weaponize it against Marty. However, he fails to realize that Scientology is frowned upon due to it being a scam made to exploit tax loopholes, not because it is "evil" in the way Cyraxx seems to imagine it. | ||
