Reply to comment by lc1138 in Pay attention to your belongings when playing sports or similar, crime is getting really out of control by Hand_OfTheKing

Victim blaming can apply to any situation, but it's more common for sexual crimes hence that it's the best comparison to understand when it's being done, a better explanation that whatever I could write is here: https://www.verywellmind.com/why-do-people-blame-the-victim-2795911

And the conclusion is gold for some people around here:

>But bad things can and probably will happen to you at some point in your life. So the next time you find yourself wondering what someone else did to bring on their misfortune, take a moment to consider the psychological attributions and biases that affect your judgment. Rather than blame the victim, try putting yourself in that person’s shoes and perhaps try a little empathy instead.

Let’s just say I much much much MUCH rather have my car stolen than be raped

Let's just say that in both cases you'll feel equally attacked and blamed if people comes to tell you it's, entirely or partially, your fault because of X personal opinion that comes to their mind.

I get you. I don't know what the other person is on about. By their logic, if I'm crossing the street with a walk signal, and car runs a red light and hits me, I guess it's my fault for not jumping out of the way.

Yeah, I don't know what people is smoking here that feels it's okay to blame the victim here instead of the thieves. Now Volo league even confirmed that there has been multiple incidents over the last few weeks, so it wasn't just a one time theft.
