shamer
One who humiliates
A shamer is someone who shames others—publicly criticizing or humiliating them for perceived failings.
The word appears most often in compounds: fat-shamer, slut-shamer, body-shamer.
These terms emerged from online discourse where calling out shamers became its own form of social correction.
