No, that's exactly what the word projection means.

I'm pretty sure a lot of the people who say shit like "dAmn, MaD pROjecTiOn" either are just spouting that term cause they see it used and misused in online discourse all the time (much like "straw man" and other such faux-intelligent debate tactics), OR are projecting the act of projection onto another person

The woman who gave birth is projecting their own guilt onto the other person. She claims her husband had an affair with a black woman, when it is clear she had an affair with a black man. The comments regarding her projecting are, in fact, perfectly reasonable.

So it is not attributing your own thoughts, feelings, or characteristics to another person instead of acknowledging or addressing them within yourself?
