"Victim blaming" is, simply put, the concept of blaming victims of any misfortune for their misfortune. When the person has actively hurt someone else, it is covered by tropes such as [[Asshole Victim]] and [[Hoist by His Own Petard]]. That said, when "victim blaming" is referred to, it almost always refers to when someone hurt by someone or something ''did not actively hurt someone else first'' and is still being blamed for their own misfortune.
