I also blame the victim in this situation. Victim blaming isn't always an automatic dismissal for any argument.

- wumeow 2y agoSay her laptop was encrypted, but with a weak password. Would she still be to blame? Say her laptop was strongly encrypted, but she hadn’t updated it in a year and they used a security vulnerability to gain access. Would she still be to blame? I guess I’m old-fashioned, but I blame criminals for the crimes they commit.
- 1970-01-01 2y agoYes. Life has nuance. She was betting all humans would be decent people, and they clearly are not. Darwin awards exist for a reason: You can blame a victim if they're ignoring all common sense. What if she: Goes for a hike at the Grand canyon, with no water, becomes dehydrated, and dies. Smokes and drinks her entire life, suffers a massive heart attack, and dies. Rides a bike to work with no helmet, is hit by a truck, and suffers permanent brain damage. Invests her live savings in NFTs and has to declare bankruptcy. Victim blaming is OK with me in all of these scenarios.
