Maybe i just worded this badly, but telling people to take precautions, or that something is risky and maybe shouldnt be done, is victim prevention if anything.

Obviously you cant blame people for what other people do to them, but sadly we dont live in a utopian world so everyone needs to learn how to be prepared for when things go wrong or they will suffer the consequences when the time comes.

Its like saying that its victim blaming to tell a woman to consider taking pepperspray with her when going out alone at night. Yes it would be very cool if that wasnt necessary, but sadly it is.

Don't pay it too much mind. It's clear that your intentions were good, your message was good and most people understood what you were saying. It's just that written language can be interpreted in different ways, but that's not your problem
