na-adjective
self-deprecating; self-exposing one's flaws
Describes a person or attitude that deliberately reveals or exaggerates one's own shortcomings, often with a cynical or provocative edge. More literary and analytical than casual self-deprecation.
彼の露悪的な態度は、周囲を困惑させた。
His self-deprecating attitude, almost flaunting his flaws, puzzled those around him.
その作家の露悪的な作風は、読者を選ぶ。
The author's style of exposing human weaknesses tends to divide readers.
自己卑下 is a noun meaning self-abasement or excessive humility, often in social contexts; 露悪的 is an adjectival noun describing a more analytical or literary attitude of revealing one's dark side.
Compound of 露悪 (roaku, 'revealing evil') + 的 (-teki, '-like'). 露悪 itself is a relatively modern coinage from 露 (ro, 'expose') and 悪 (aku, 'evil'), used in literary criticism to describe a style that exposes human vice.
