There's a kind of just-world moralizing people do that's like victim-blaming on steroids.
Normal victim-blaming says if you do X, and you're aware that doing it exposes you to being hurt by someone choosing to do Y, it's pretty much your fault if they do Y and you get hurt. Here on HN, what I've seen repeatedly is people not just blaming you for Y but also feeling fully justified in making sure Y happens, even if it otherwise wouldn't.
IME that kind of thinking comes from a particular worldview that's disproportionately common here.
