Victim Blaming

Description

Words have specific meanings. You can't throw around buzzwords and expect to either win an argument or make it seem more valid than it actually is. You also can't stretch their definitions to fit your position.

If you need to do those in order to make your point valid, then the problem isn't the definition. It's your argument.

I feel like there should be a concrete definition for victim blaming: holding the victim partially or completely responsible for something that was completely out of their control. Like getting mugged or beaten.

Victim blaming is NOT holding a dumbass responsible for them not taking heed of someone elses warnings. Like if a boy brought an MLP backpack to school and got made fun of for it, and his siblings/parents TOLD him it would be a bad idea, who's fault is it REALLY? I mean, that's like if I were to get into a sword fight with a samurai and then wonder why I got stabbed!
