Why do people get so much enjoyment out of blaming actual real victims?

Victim blaming is especially common with regard to the victims of sexual assault and rape.

I think that the perpetrators of sex crimes need to be held accountable for their actions, and under no circumstances should such criminals be given any leniency for reasons of their personal problems. I believe that these predators are essentially sociopaths who feel entitled to take whatever they want. So if the law says that something is illegal then the bad guys say, "... but she tempted me, I was drunk, she wanted it, her eyes said yes". Additionally I also think that the friends and family of the perpetrators victim blame, because they want to maintain the status quo. The scumbag criminals don't want to go to jail of course, but also their friends and families don't want their piece of shit loved one to go to jail so they blame the victim in order to help them maintain their denial about the fact that there loved one is a steaming pile of shit.

Not all victims/survivors of sexual assault are female, and not all perpetrators or sex crimes are male. I hate all sexual predators equally regardless of sex, age, race, religion, or persuasion, etc.

Ok if a man is sticking his hand in a gator mouth and he bleeds to death im blaming the gator and the man both. if a man is in his back yard and a bear jumps from a bush and bites off his head no way is that his fault. bears are sneaky like that

Feminism is cancer.

If I may enter this, it depends on your feminist.

Feminist who hate men are victims of brainwashing

end of story lol either that or bad experiences

This is how I feel about United airline dragging and beating that doctor off a plane because they fucked up. Then turning around and trying to sully his reputation.Severe assholeism at its finest

Yeah, I see your point.

I can't think of a legitimate scenario in which "depends" would apply unless it involves someone who got attacked by a stray dog who stole their burrito after they waved it the dog's face.

When the perpetrator of the crime is a human being, regardless of whether or not the victim was careless, naive, or "asking for it" the only one who deserves hate and blame is the criminal.

I don't care what the victim was wearing or what they were doing the only one deserving of blame is the perpetrator, and I also feel this way about armed robbery. I don't care if the criminal was raised in poverty or on drugs or whatever, the blame should always be on the criminal.

Perhaps the victim/survivor could use some education as to how to be more street smart in order to avoid being a victim again, but the only person deserving of blame is the criminal and the only person deserving of compassion is the victim!

People do this because they don't want to believe good things can happen to good people. When they hear of a bad thing happening, they automatically go to cast blame to uphold their false just world belief. Even people with illnesses get victim blamed, even those with non-preventable illnesses.

the hell are you talking about? lol
