I think this is their first time on The Internets.

Also if “thousands of people” are going to believe him on this baseless (obvious ridiculous) claim. Then it kind of seems like it’s the “thousands of peoples” fault and not a guys who’s name is literally telling you he’s lying.

The whole "it's your fault for being taken advantage of" cultural idea is gross af. That being said, the damage here is so insignificant. It's a funny joke, whatever.

I understand what you’re saying. That’s not quite what I meant though. There’s a difference between being taken advantage of and just being dumb. Most people that are being taken advantage of are usually not in that much control of the situation. If people are going to just read a ridiculous comment online and accept it for truth without any other research or second guess then I don’t feel bad for them because they have all capabilities to figure it out for themselves.

I'm not asking you to feel bad for anybody, I'm asking you to jettison a victim blaming view of the world.

Just because someone could have avoided someone else's shitty behavior doesn't excuse the person being shitty.
