AlexaVonTrayne since you're so desperate to involve yourself in something that has nothing to do with you and doesn't affect you, I suggest educating yourself so you don't look like an idiot when you talk out of your ass.
Here are the definitions of the words Victim-blaming and Victim-shaming:
Victim-blaming is the attitude which suggests that the victim rather than the perpetrator bears responsibility for the assault. Victim-blaming occurs when it is assumed that an individual did something to provoke the violence by actions, words, or dress.
Victim-shaming is when the victim of an event is blamed, or partially blamed, for their own attack. It wrongly shifts blame from the guilty party onto the victim, and therefore doesn't (or makes it more difficult to) punish the one truly at fault.
I never blamed anyone for anything that happened to them. In fact, I expressed sympathy to them PRIVATELY regarding the situation, and then clarified that again when the matter was made public by them.
I blamed the person (keeping their name confidential in case they aren't comfortable being outed) for leaking what I told them in full confidence and for them being the reason so many people found out. There's a difference. I did not blame them for what happened to them, I was friends with this person and we had talked about how they felt about that. I blamed them for what they did to me.
So the next time you want attention and need to involve yourself, get your facts straight because otherwise you'll just look like the idiotic asshole that you are.
