- Karunamon 11y agoIf by "victim blaming", you mean "criticizing someone for taking a stupid action that a reasonable person could assume would end badly".
- irishcoffee 11y ago> "criticizing someone for taking a stupid action that a reasonable person could assume would end badly". Its her fault she got raped, she wore a SHORT SKIRT. Edit: fuck you.
- omginternets 11y agoPeople like you never seem to distinguish between (a) pointing out what is unreasonable/imprudent, and (b) claiming that a given misfortune was deserved. It would be comical if you weren't so unpleasant and rude.
- irishcoffee 11y ago"distinguish" The subjectivity of this word amuses me to no end. I can distinguish whatever I want whenever I want, as long as facebook and twitter agree with me.
- omginternets 11y agoSo let me make sure I have this straight... You don't believe there's a distinction to be made between "that was a bad idea with predictable consequences" and "he/she deserved [insert misfortune here]"?
- irishcoffee 11y agoI'm saying that the line that separates <"that was a bad idea with predictable consequences"> and <"he/she deserved [insert misfortune here]"> moves whenever the internet twitter/facebook mob decides it does. The distinction is mob mentality. Hence my amusement.
- InclinedPlane 11y agoDon't forget that people who appear on those shows get paid. At least scale wages if not more, plus accommodations, all of which is considerable for people living within ordinary means. Combined with the thrill of being on tv it can b.s. An overwhelming experience, which explains why so many people do it. But much of it cones down to financial and emotional manipulation.
