This is victim blaming. It’s wrong and it has no place here or anywhere.
I am not familiar with the original OP, but anyone who goes around having interactions in a confrontational style should expect to be confronted, along with all of the other things that come along with confrontations. Pretending that none of us have any agency in any of the bad things that happen to us because we are "victims" is a silly trope that is far too common.
> But if you ride choose to ride the subway back and forth across the Bronx at 3 am every night with big gold chains visibly dangling around your neck, you absolutely deserve some of the blame for being the "victim" when you get mugged!
Actually no, wearing gold chains and riding the subway are not crimes. This is just more victim blaming.
A better example would be the mugger is responsible for their subsequent arrest and imprisonment after mugging someone.

Right, you don’t know, so you’re just assuming that’s relevant here. You have no reason to believe graphic death threats were warranted. Personally I can’t imagine a post that would justify such death threats.

Who is pretending this? You have fabricated this position.
Come on ya'll now, let's be real
Some jokers got a rough time keepin' it concealed
I wonder what it mean, it's probably self-esteem
They fiendin to be seen, get hemmed like Gabardines
Cats think it can't happen until the gats start clappin
They comin' down the wire spittin fire like a dragon
Cause while the goods glisten, certain eyes take position
To observe your trickin', then catch that ass slippin'
Like, come on now ock, what you expect?
Got a month's paycheck danglin' off your neck
And while you Cristal sippin', they rubbin' up they mittens
With heat in mint condition to start the getti-gettin'You shared your own irrelevant experience which undermines the experience of being threatened. You then used that irrelevant experience to assume with no information that these threats were deserved.
You could have instead asked what was posted and then offered your advice if it was warranted. But what post or posts justify graphic death threats?
You can't have it both ways. You can be a hero saving a victim by creating more victims.
What posts justify graphic death threats? In a vacuum none. With context I could think of many examples including: Maybe he is posting death threats himself or perhaps committed a crime to a person in an identity we consider more of a victim.
Someone who punches somebody and when they hit them back that person is suddenly the victim? I'm not sure I see the world as black and white as that.
No.
> You tell me that my opinion is irrelevant because someone who you labelled a victim could be undermined then you do the same thing.
I didn’t say your opinion is irrelevant. I said your experience of not receiving death threats is irrelevant to someone else’s experience of receiving death threats.
> You can't have it both ways. You can be a hero saving a victim by creating more victims.
I’m not a hero and I’m not saving anyone.
> Maybe he is posting death threats himself or perhaps committed a crime to a person in an identity we consider more of a victim.
There’s literally no justification for graphic death threats. You have no reason to believe either of those hypotheticals are real.
> Someone who punches somebody and when they hit them back that person is suddenly the victim? I'm not sure I see the world as black and white as that.
You are arguing with your own straw man.
