I seriously think we're at a point where we just need to say "yes, we're blaming the victim", not because we actually are, or think it's the victims fault, but because engaging this line of questioning is a complete waste of time.
The person whose nudes were stolen and published did not deserve it and did not ask for it, but it's not productive to tell them (and society at large) that there was nothing they could have done to avoid or mitigate the situation. There are bad actors in this world and we all do things tens or even hundreds of times a day to minimize their impact.
