How is this -12 in rating?

https://lichess.org/rJXRp6YI/white#44

I am underrated here by a margin and resigned after a mouseslip.

If the ratings were reversed i could see a drop like this but losing 12 points against a higher rated opponent???

Lichess favors black. It makes no sense, but that is how it is now.

It's kinda harsh tho, i could see -5 or 6, but - 12 is insane in my eyes.

It’s probably because of your rating deviation rather than Lichess “favoring Black”.

You probably haven’t played any Bullet games during that time, which makes your rating deviation go higher.

The more your rating deviation gets higher, the more “dramatic” the elo gain/loss will be.

This elo drop of yours can be possible based on the number of your rating deviation at that time.
