if a person walks in to a lions enclosure and gets eaten, they're a dumbass and it was their fault. if a person goes to a party and gets COVID, they're a dumbass and it was their fault. if a person leaves their credit card unattended in public and it gets stolen, they're a dumbass and it was their fault. this isn't even an ethical debate, it's common sense. the fact that they were the "victim" doesn't excuse their behavior at all. soyjaks on reddit even have a whole sub dedicated to this (r/winstupidprizes)
but if, say, a woman sends nudes to a guy who is known for sharing and uploading them, or she goes to a frat party where the hosts are widely known for sexual misconduct and gets black out drunk, and you even suggest that she might have been responsible for her predicament, it would be considered "victim blaming". what really disturbs me here is the level of doublethink required for this concept to exist. NPCs are literally capable of reprogramming themselves to ignore basic logical principles that they already understand because it doesn't suit their agenda
usually the counterargument to this would be some feminine, moralistic garbage that doesn't really mean anything, "It doesn't matter, no one deserves to be sexually harassed just because they made a mistake". which is easily refuted by the examples listed above. no one deserves to be eaten or lose their life savings for making a mistake, either. it's not a matter of whether they deserved it or not. the point is that their unfortunate situation is a result of their own poor decision making and not a wider social issue like feminists want it to be
