I don't think it's textbook victim blaming at all. If a guy goes around tossing beers in peoples' faces in bars and occasionally catches a beat down, I don't think it would be victim blaming to state that, 'Hey, maybe if he didn't throw beer in peoples' faces he wouldn't catch beat downs'. It doesn't mean anyone is condoning violent responses to provocation, just stating the role that the instigator played a role in the incident. Phil Fish repeatedly threw beer in the face of others and got a lot of vitriole in response.
