Sometimes victim blaming is valid. We as people can take mitigating actions to avoid trouble. And a lot of people just don't.

E.g. people who don't look before crossing a road at crosswalks. It's the vehicles fault for hitting you. But you could have easily prevented it by having a modicum of self-preservation

Yeah I mostly agree with this. Like, sometimes a victim can cause something to happen without deserving the outcome. Nobody deserves to be mauled by a lion, but jumping into a lion cage will cause that to happen, and I won't feel bad for you.

Controversial - the community to discuss controversial topics.

Challenge others opinions and be challenged on your own.

This is not a safe space nor an echo-chamber, you come here to discuss in a civilized way, no flaming, no insults!

Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence, "trust me bro" is not a valid argument.
