> Some people have zero self preservation. I wouldn't go deliver something to a terrorist group for any amount of money.

Is this victim blaming, or am I misreading it?

"She shouldn't have worn such a short skirt" is not quite "He shouldn't have gone unarmed and alone to a meeting with ISIS in ISIS-held territory."

relevant exhibit for anyone that is merely avoiding victim blaming because they were told not to, without addressing why victim blaming is often based in mythology:

so, in human interactions, its always the person that does the harmful, nonconsensual and/or illegal action that should have the focus

Self preservation is a concept which extends beyond scenarios with a victim and a perpetrator.

Don't pet feral animals.

Don't run with scissors.

Don't wear a fur coat in the desert.

Don't drink bottles labelled "poison".

So, it should reasonably follow:

Don't hand yourself over to violent, hostile people.

In some cases, a victim is to blame. There are even awards for this sort of thing.

[MattGaiser]

The victim is not to first to be blamed, but the result is predictable and avoidable.

Yes, but no.

You need the ability to distinguish between a bad social cliche like "short skirt, asking for it" and this.
