* ''Literature/TheDeathMageWhoDoesntWantAFourthTime'' has some very notable examples.
** In a tavern just after the death of Darcia, the main character's mother, Martina of the Five Colored Blades tells Heinz that it doesn't matter why Darcia gave birth to a dhampir, the horrific three days of public torture and immolation is "reaping what she sowed" for daring to get pregnant and give birth, even if Vandalieu was sired by rape. Considering that at the time she's saying this, Martina is a woman herself, and her job as an adventurer involves rescuing female victims of monster rapes, this is deeply disturbing.
** In chapter 200 of the web-novel, Heinz has ''repeatedly'' been slaughtering Curatos created meat-puppets designed to emulate all of Van's friends, family, and allies, including Van himself. When Van takes enough control of the meat-puppet Curatos created to call Heinz out on this, Heinz interrupts the attempt, points at the corpses and yells that it's all their fault for not wanting to talk things out. Predictably, this does nothing to convince Van that Heinz is anything but an existential threat that has to die.
* At the start of ''How The Masked Earl Fell in Love'', Crysta, the protagonist, learns that her fiance Michele got Crysta's half-sister Stephania pregnant out of wedlock, thus forcing her to dissolve her engagement with Michele and allow Stephania to marry him instead. Stephania and Michele, as well as Deborah(Stephania's mother and Crysta's WickedStepmother), all blame Crysta for waiting too long to marry Michele, but the only reason Crysta waited was because she was too preoccupied with managing the family estate to save the family from financial ruin while Crysta and Deborah were wasting money.
* ''Anime/KirbyRightBackAtYa'' The cappies of cappy town have a habit of blaming Kirby when things start to get too intense for them, simply forgetting that Dedede has been ordering monsters before Kirby even showed up and he certainly didn't ask to be hunted by some psycho company. The worst of it is in the finale, after Kirby has been rendered unconscious and thus unable to do anything while Cappy Town was destroyed, the villagers all turn on him and even tell him to leave. And they never apologize for this during the finale either.
* ''Manga/IsItMyFaultThatIGotBullied'': Both Shinji and Nagumo do this to Aizawa and Shiori respectively, blaming their relentless bullying on imagined aspects of their victims' personalities.
* In ''Manga/MyHeroAcademia'', as a result of repeated villain attacks on the students of [[SuperheroSchool U.A. High School]], especially at the school's USJ training facility and at an off-campus summer training camp, the students are forced to move into dormitories, are unable to visit their families off-campus without permission and hear that their SchoolFestival might be canceled if the authorities get even the hint of a threat. Some bitter students outside of the Hero Course blame Class 1-A (the main characters) for this, despite the fact that 1-A were victims of the attacks; the USJ attack was meant to kill All Might, while the training camp attack was for the sake of kidnapping Bakugo, a member of 1-A.
* ''Anime/MyHime'': Yukino accuses Shizuru of [[AmbiguousSituation doing]] ''[[AmbiguousSituation something]]'' [[AmbiguousSituation to Natsuki in her sleep]]. Haruka declares that relationships between women are disgusting, and that both Shizuru ''and'' Natsuki are filthy, despite clearly having heard Yukino (who's Haruka's best friend, and thus someone she has no reason to disbelieve) say that Shizuru did it "while Natsuki was sleeping". What's more, Haruka had just witnessed Shizuru [[DudeShesLikeInAComa kissing an unconscious Natsuki earlier]]. In a rare case of the perpetrator defending the victim, Shizuru speaks up, declaring, "What happened was something that ''I'' did to ''her''. I will not allow you to insult Natsuki."
* ''Manga/MyLoveStory'', kicking off the entire series, a man who was caught groping Rinko on the train tries to defend himself by saying she was "asking for it." [[{{Understatement}} Takeo disagrees.]] [[MegatonPunch Strongly.]]
* ''Manga/OnePiece'': The nobles of the Goa Kingdom completely approve of their King lighting Grey Terminal on fire and killing all of the people living there. One of the nobles even tells their child that the scavengers deserve their fate for being born poor.
* In ''Literature/RebuildWorld'' Katsuya is soundly hated on both sides of the fourth wall when Akira is chasing a pick-pocket Alna who has taken all his money, but Katsuya, not knowing better, takes Alna's side. When it looks like Akira's been talked down and both sides could come to some sort of agreement, Katsuya goes all OpenMouthInsertFoot and states that if Akira did get pick-pocketed then it was his fault because "he was being careless and lazy," and says it '''loudly'''. This forces Akira to actively hunt Alna and kill her, because if he doesn't people aren't going to stop going after him and his until Akira and everyone he cares for wind up in a ditch as bloody corpses somewhere. This results in ''a lot'' of needless violence and death before the situation is resolved.
* The anime adaptation of ''Literature/TheRisingOfTheShieldHero'' has the Filorial queen openly criticize Naofumi for not striving to clear his name after Malty's FalseRapeAccusation. On paper, this makes some sense. In reality, '''how was Naofumi supposed to do that?!''' Queen Mirellia was out of the country putting out diplomatic fires, the other three cardinal heroes were completely unsympathetic, and King Aultcray was clearly biased against Naofumi, convicting him on the most circumstantial and flimsy evidence possible '''and''' continued to harass Naofumi in every way imaginable, both subtle and gross. When hard evidence of Naofumi's innocence is provided, the other three heroes, especially Motoyasu ''still'' see him as "guilty" beyond all possible reason.
* Kyubey subtly does this to all Magical Girls in ''Anime/PuellaMagiMadokaMagica'' when Madoka calls him out for betraying all the Magical Girls his kind have made wish contracts for, as all of them inevitably end with the wishes backfiring driving them to either death or despair. Kyubey responds that ''they'' didn't betray the magical girls, their ''wishes'' did; according to him, wishes that "go beyond reason" distort reality and cause it to auto-correct any hope they create with equal ammounts of despair and ensure they always end horribly, and thus if the Magical Girls aren't satisfied with the outcome, then the fault lies in them for wanting and wishing for the unrealistic in the first place.
* Naoka Ueno does this ''hard'' in the anime adaptation of ''Anime/ASilentVoice''. While she readily admits to bullying Shouko, she vehemently denies said bullying was wrong. She insists Shouko ''deserved it'' by daring to try to fit in and make friends, and blames ''Shouko'' for their elementary school friend group breaking up due to said bullying. And unlike in the manga, [[spoiler:Ueno never has a HeelRealization over it]].
* The protagonist Crest Bahurst in ''Manga/TrashSkillGacha'' gets ''a lot'' of blame for daring to be the victim of abuse and torment.
** His father and four older brothers love to condemn him as "a devil's child" because he dared to survive his mother suffering DeathByChildbirth, and use that as a reason to torment and torture him growing up.
** When his father one-sidedly accuses him of lying about a prophetic dream and exiles him to near-certain death, the very next day, he answers the king's summons and learns from the pope's decree that the prophetic dream was legit, and now he has to scramble and try to rectify things. The moment he's alone with his four remaining sons, they all proclaim that Crest didn't "try hard enough" to convince them the dream was legit, and that's why he was banished.
** Crest's own abusive fiancé always blamed him for the abuse she heaped upon him, by stating that it's his fault for "cheating," which he never did, especially since the only other girl Crest interacted with was his school appointed sparring partner in the swordsmanship class. And the reason Ellis, the fiancé in question, is jealous? Said sparring partner just happens to have bigger breasts than herself.
* ''Manga/ATimidWomanLongingForHerDeliveryGirl'': In Takase's backstory, her coworker Kazama gropes her, resulting in him being fired. Her coworkers gossip about her, accusing her of exaggerating the incident and saying she should have been fired instead, resulting in Takase quitting to go freelance.
[[/folder]]
* ''Literature/ArifuretaFromCommonplaceToWorldsStrongest'':
** Kouki often does this in the form of CondescendingCompassion. He is [[GoodCannotComprehendEvil incapable]] of realizing that there are people who do things ForTheEvulz. As such, if he sees someone being bullied, he immediately believes that the victim must have clearly done something to provoke it. When he sees Hajime physically dragged off the training grounds by Hiyama and his three flunkies so the four of them can use Hajime as a punching bag, Kouki honestly believes it's Hajime's fault "for not taking the training seriously" and falling behind, despite the fact, that from the beginning, the training program was clearly not working for Hajime, period, regardless of how much effort Hajime put into it.
** Eri Nakamura's father died protecting her from getting hit by a car, only for her mother to blame her for his death. When she remarried, her stepfather physically abused her, until he was arrested for AttemptedRape... and Eri's mother blamed her for it, claiming the girl had somehow seduced him, and gave her a NoHoldsBarredBeatdown that became Eri's StartOfDarkness.

* ''Fanfic/EyesOnMe'': In ''If You Ever Cared to Ask'', [[AbusiveParents Sadako]] blames her daughter Nyoko for being raped, showing NoSympathy for her trauma and claiming she brought it upon herself. Eventually, she kicks Nyoko out of the house while her husband and the rest of their children watch.
* In the ''Fanfic/InfinityTrainBlossomverse'', this tactic is commonly employed by antagonists and ''pro''tagonists alike. Chloe, for instance, is constantly blamed by her bullies for how they [[AllOfTheOtherReindeer abused and isolated her]], claiming that she ''deserved'' to be treated that way for being a CreepyLonerGirl as well as having the privilege of being a Pokémon Professor's daughter. Chloe in turn has her moments of engaging in this, such as when she viciously calls out [[spoiler:Paul/Despair]].
* The main characters of ''Fanfic/MyBravePonyStarfleetMagic'' all blame [[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic Twilight Sparkle]] for [[spoiler:her death at the hands of Raven]].
* ''Fanfic/RaiseYourVoiceAgainstLiars'': Rather than trying to discipline any of the bullies in her class, Ms. Bustier prefers scolding their victims, claiming that they need to "set a good example" and "keep the peace" by [[EasilyForgiven forgiving their abusers]].
* ''Fanfic/WithPearlAndRubyGlowing'' deals with victim-blaming in several chapters, fitting its CentralTheme of the struggles rape and abuse victims face.
** [[WesternAnimation/TheGreatMouseDetective Basil]]'s father implied Basil's rape was due to naivety, saying he's old enough to know about "stranger danger."
** [[{{WesternAnimation/Rango}} Rattlesnake Jake]] shames a six-year-old [[WesternAnimation/GravityFalls Gideon Gleeful]] for being raped by Bill Cipher because it makes him impure and possibly gay, and claims he has to be raped again to be "cured."
** [[{{WesternAnimation/Freaktown}} Boo Boo]] blames Priscilla for her own assault, even though Boo Boo set it up.
** Miss Kitty is assaulted outside of a club, and when the police arrive, they arrest her for "soliciting" because she's a sex worker, which is also why she was attacked to begin with. To contrast, her assailants only get charged for "disturbing the peace."
** The police blame Mabel for her gang-rape because she sent the men (who [[{{Catfishing}} claimed to be one boy her age]]) inappropriate pictures of herself (which the men asked her to do). Stan chews them out for this.
** [[WesternAnimation/TurningRed Tyler]] half-undresses and gropes Meilin in front of the entire party, and she gets blamed for retaliating, with the implication of misogyny, classism, and racism (Tyler is also partly Asian, but Meilin's family is much more traditional) being among the reasons. She did kick him in the groin hard enough to make him bleed, so it's understandable that people who didn't witness it might blame her, but he was the one who started it.
[[AC:''Literature/{{Animorphs}}'']]
* Victim-blaming is one of the main themes in the ''Fanfic/{{Eleutherophobia}}'' series, which takes place in an [[TheUnmasquedWorld Unmasqued World]] where thousands of people used to be controlled by {{Puppeteer Parasite}}s.
** [[SparedByTheAdaptation Tom]] blames himself for getting infested at first -- and so do several other people. In ''Back to the Future'', his aunt and uncle say it served him right for wandering into a place he didn't belong; and in ''Ghost in the Shell'', CNN QuoteMine him to make it sound like he was complicit in all the horrible things his Yeerks did.
** Several television personalities in ''Lost World'' claim that people made Yeerks up so they don't have to take responsibility for their own actions.
** ''Total Recall'' mentions the "Vicky Austin argument", named after a Controller who committed suicide on live television. Some lawyers think that any host ''could'' have done that if they ''really'' wanted to, so anyone who didn't (eg: Alloran) was secretly complicit, even though FightingFromTheInside is ''extremely difficult''.
[[AC:''Franchise/{{Arrowverse}}'']]
* ''Fanfic/{{Blackbird|Arrow}}'': Dinah Lance tries to justify her decision to trade her older daughter Laurel to the League of Assassins for her younger daughter Sara by blaming ''Laurel'' for befriending Oliver and bringing him into her lives. Her reasoning is that if she hadn't befriended Oliver and later dated him, he wouldn't have tried to blow up their relationship by taking Sara on the ''Gambit'' with him and Sara would have never gotten on it. It's such a bad case of InsaneTrollLogic that even the traumatized Sara immediately tries to refute it, and the only reason she doesn't succeed is because [[AbusiveParents Dinah talks over her and tries to bully her into accepting the latter's decision]]. Naturally, nobody else accepts that line of thinking and the entire situation just serves to make Dinah a bigger HateSink.
[[AC:''Film/{{Descendants}}'']]
* In ''Fanfic/WhileTheGettingIsGood'', Evie revealed to Chad that her mother was {{abusive|Parents}}. Chad responds by exposing that she's been cheating on her tests -- turns out he was so bothered by her story that he wanted her gone so that he wouldn't have to think about it anymore.
-->'''Phoebus:''' And instead of reporting this to the school or the police, you deliberately arranged for her to be returned to the same situation where it occurred?

Sharon calls this out as victim-blaming, saying Christian is just a terrible, abusive Dom.
[[AC:''VideoGame/FiveNightsAtFreddys'']]
* ''Fanfic/MikesNewGhostlyFamily'': In the third "Ultimate Custom Night" chapter, William Afton is confronted over his sins in Hell by [[spoiler:Nightmare's recreation of Mike Schmidt's inner darkness]]. As the [[spoiler:Dark!Mike]] judges William Afton over his [[AbusiveParents horrible parenting skills]], he brings up how William allowed Elizabeth to die at the hands of Circus Baby [[ParentalNeglect because he didn't bother to watch over her]]. William [[NeverMyFault deflects the blame]] by claiming that he warned her not to approach the animatronic and that she got what she deserved for not heeding his warnings. [[spoiler:Dark!Mike]] responds to this comment by [[FisticuffProvokingComment landing his gauntlet-clad fist right into Afton's face]] and states that William would pay for this comment very soon (which he does as he gets torn apart by every single animatronic at once when the judgement ends).

He maintains this attitude even after three years have passed.

[[AC:''Manga/LoveHina'']]
* ''Fanfic/ForHisOwnSake'': Naru does this regularly as part of her NeverMyFault attitude. Not only does she constantly blame Keitaro for all of her UnprovokedPervertPayback assaults upon him, she blames him for her KarmaHoudiniWarranty running out after he breaks up with her. Not that she actually ''wants him back'', mind you -- she only attempts to [[CrossingTheBurntBridge cross that burnt bridge]] after she's torched all of her other options.
** Naru also initially refuses to apologize to a man she assaulted until she's [[OrderedApology ordered to do so]]. When she later claims that she shouldn't be punished any further due to said apology, Chizuka points out that she only did so because she was ''forced'' to apologize... and Naru goes on to rant about how she shouldn't have needed to, continuing to blame her victim and his wife for pressing charges over the assault.
[[AC:''WesternAnimation/MiraculousLadybug'']]
* ''Fanfic/{{CONSEQUENCES|MiraculousLadybug}}'': In ''WORLD BEYOND'', Hawk Moth goes on a MonumentalDamage rampage around the world, slaughtering innocents around the world while claiming that Ladybug and Chat Noir are responsible for their deaths, as they're unable to reach those places and save them with the Miraculous Cure. Lila parrots his rhetoric, saying the heroes should just surrender their Miraculi to end the slaughter.
* In ''Fanfic/CrimsonAndNoire'', Monarch's victims are blamed for the things they did as akuma, despite Crimson Beetle and Lady Noire explaining to the public that they were BrainwashedAndCrazy. Many former akuma are ostracized, isolated and shamed.
* ''Fanfic/DodgedABeetle'': During Parent Career Day, Chloé trips Marinette, and Lila calls the SpoiledBrat out on it. Mayor Bourgeois then angrily demands that Roger ''arrest'' Marinette and Lila for ''daring'' to accuse his daughter of such an act, despite it being blatantly obvious that she did.
* ''Fanfic/TheKarmaOfLies'':
** Adrien dismisses and downplays the impact of Lila [[ConArtist conning his classmates]] by claiming his friends wouldn't give up anything they couldn't ''afford'' to lose. He also underestimates how cunning Lila actually is, implicitly blaming the others for not being able to see through her deception.
** Lila reacts incredulously when Adrien [[spoiler:enters his bank account passwords in front of her]], treating this as though he was practically ''begging'' her to take advantage. This also makes it incredibly difficult for him to [[CassandraTruth convince the police of the truth]], in large part because they find it hard to believe that he didn't exercise any caution around her [[TheFarmerAndTheViper despite knowing her true nature]].
* ''Fanfic/KarmasABitch'':
** Defied and discussed by Tikki. While she agrees with Zoe's criticisms about how Marinette was dealing with Lila, she admits that she didn't bring them up herself before because she didn't want Marinette to feel like she was blaming her for being bullied by the ManipulativeBitch.
** Lila is wrongly suspected of this when she tries to convince the police that [[spoiler:''Zoe'' was the mastermind behind their plans to con their classmates]], as by this point, they already know that [[LiarRevealed she's a habitual liar]] who regularly engages in such tactics.
* ''Fanfic/LadyBugOut'':
** Alya attempts to defend her mishandling of the Oblivio incident by blaming Ladybug for suffering LaserGuidedAmnesia in the first place, declaring that if she didn't want to have photos of her posted without context, "Maybe she shouldn't be kissing somebody in front of her favorite blogger's phone."
** When Adrien gets in trouble with Master Fu for attacking Ladybug, he attempts to get ''her'' in trouble as well, trying to convince the Guardian that the incident was entirely ''her'' fault.
* ''Fanfic/LeaveForMendeleiev'':
** Ms. Bustier pressures Chloé's victims to "lead by example" by [[EasilyForgiven forgiving every slight]]. She also tries to force Marinette to continue submitting to Chloé's abuse even after she transfers to Mendeleiev's class, claiming she [[SelfServingMemory never noticed any problems]] back when Marinette was one of her students.
** Nino tells Marinette that it was ''her'' fault she got bullied, and that she should have stood up for herself against Chloé. He similarly blames Mylène for getting cowed by Chloé's badgering and bullying. Note that he says all of this because [[{{Hypocrite}} he couldn't bring himself to tell Chloé]] that he didn't want her involved with his movie, as he was afraid [[ScrewTheRulesIHaveConnections she'd have her father to shut the whole project down]].
* ''[[https://archiveofourown.org/works/20306431/chapters/48140335 Once Bitten, Twice Shy]]'': Marinette responded to one of Adrien's lectures about how [[DisappointedInYou disappointed he was]] that she was still trying to expose Lila when she "wasn't hurting anyone" with her lies by giving him an IndignantSlap. Due to this, he's secretly ''satisfied'' by watching her suffer in class, telling himself that she ''deserves'' to be hurt... in precisely the way he was refusing to acknowledge she was being hurt before.
* Referenced in ''Fanfic/ASmallButStubbornFire'': Sabine fears that her daughter has been assaulted, and that the reason why Marinette refuses to say anything or open up about her trauma is that she's convinced [[CassandraTruth nobody will believe her]]... or that worse, they'll insist it was entirely her own fault.
* ''Webcomic/ScarletLady'':
** In the second half of "Origins", the similarities between Hawkmoth/Gabriel and Chloé are highlighted by how both engage in this: Hawkmoth attempts to blame the heroes for the damage dealt to Paris by their fight with Stoneheart, while Chloé [[PlayingTheVictimCard tries to convince Adrien]] that Marinette was bullying ''her'' by standing up to her. Both get called out on this; Marinette berates Hawkmoth and [[FlippingTheBird flips him off]] while Adrien makes clear to Chloé that he isn't fooled and warns her that he'll cut off their friendship if she doesn't stop mistreating others. Incidentally, these incidents also spark off Chat Noir crushing on Marinette and Marinette crushing on Adrien, respectively.
** While she denies it when Marinette [[WhatTheHellHero calls her out on it]], Caline Bustier engages in this by punishing her "model student" for ''daring'' to be upset by Chloé vandalizing the gift she made for her homeroom teacher. Tellingly, despite insisting that they can't ''force'' Chloé to treat others better, Bustier attempts to do just that with Marinette, even ''before'' getting akumatized into flagrant ControlFreak Zombiezou.
* ''Fanfic/TwoLetters'':
** The fic combines this with CartesianKarma. After spending two years fighting Hawkmoth, constantly repressing her negative emotions for fear of getting akumatized herself, Marinette [[TheResenter grew resentful]] of how often others got akumatized. She convinced herself that they weren't even ''trying'' to resist, willingly [[DealWithTheDevil letting Hawkmoth akumatize them]] so they could go on rampages for [[DisappointedByTheMotive trivial, petty and frivolous reasons]]. Due to this, she decided to retire, handing the Earrings over to a SketchySuccessor whom she deems to be "[[LaserGuidedKarma the hero the people of Paris]] ''[[LaserGuidedKarma deserve]]''".
** This also served as Mayor Andre's [[EstablishingCharacterMoment introduction to Marinette]]. Back when she first met Chloé, the SpoiledBrat demanded she hand over all the cookies she'd brought for lunch; when Marinette refused, Chloé then smashed Marinette's lunch and laughed at her tears. When her parents took her to meet the Mayor so he could apologize for his daughter's behavior, he instead laughed it off and declared "Kids will be kids," advising Marinette to bring ''extra'' cookies the next day so ''she'' could properly apologize to ''Chloé''. Thus began years of bullying.
* ''Fanfic/VillainOfYourOwnStory'': In the [[RealityWarpingIsNotAToy new reality created by]] [[BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor Alya's Wish]], Adrien blames Chloé's old classmates for her KarmaHoudiniWarranty running out. One of her tantrums landed her in serious legal trouble, drawing her bullying into the public eye; Adrien labels their accounts of how she treated them MaliciousSlander and seeks revenge by working with Hawk Moth to get them all akumatized.
* ''Fanfic/{{What Goes Around Comes Around|MiraculousLadybug}}'': When Chloé and Lila are arrested due to having willingly cooperated with Hawkmoth, Adrien is relieved... because he thinks this will put an end to ''Marinette'' "making things tense" at school, what with how both of them constantly bullied her and all. He also thinks that Marinette should help him {{Clear Their Name}}s and get them out of trouble, despite them being completely guilty of everything they're being charged with. Of course, he ''also'' wants her to help turn ''Hawkmoth'' into a KarmaHoudini, which [[ItsAllAboutMe says even more about his priorities]].
* ''Fanfic/{{The Wolves in the Woods|MiraculousLadybug}}'':
** According to [[MisplacedKindergartenTeacher Ms. Bustier]], bullies should not be held accountable for their actions as "they're only children". Instead, she expects their victims to "lead by example" by [[TurnTheOtherCheek turning the other cheek]] and forgiving them. Since she refuses to discipline the bullies at ''all'', this translates to the victims getting into more trouble instead.
** Ms. Bustier also allows most of the class to turn on Marinette after Lila convinces them that ''she's'' the BitchInSheepsClothing, making no move to intervene after Kim trips Marinette in front of her. Even when [[spoiler:Lila herself]] asks her several times to step in, she refuses, believing that Marinette should resolve the situation herself.
** In a collection of deleted and extra scenes, one features Bustier calling Salomon in to discuss Amaia and Andres' "poor conduct" in class. Said misconduct includes Amaia refusing to apologize to Alya after the other girl falsely accused her of theft and Andres [[CrimeOfSelfDefense defending himself]] whenever Kim or Alix attack him. Salomon is completely disgusted to learn that Bustier hasn't done anything to address the others' {{Barbaric Bully}}ing, and that she fully expects him to buy into her rhetoric simply because he's a fellow teacher.
** Adrien fully subscribes to Bustier's toxic beliefs, claiming that Marinette brought the bullying onto herself by [[CassandraTruth trying to warn the others about Lila]]. He clings to this belief even after the public learns about his BetrayalByInaction and decries him for it, ruining his former reputation as the "golden boy of Paris". When Luka suggests that he should apologize to Marinette, he angrily retorts that "Well, if she hadn't tried to expose Lila like that, then this wouldn't have happened!"
** He also expresses this attitude as Chat Noir. Not only does he blame Ladybug for the akumatization of [[spoiler:Alya into Rena Rage]], he suggests that they should let the akuma go after the Rossis, claiming that "it's only fair" to let them be hurt.
* In [[https://nobodyfamousposts.tumblr.com/post/184218659010/i-think-the-worse-way-adrien-could-reject this what-if scenario]], Adrien turns down Marinette's AnguishedDeclarationOfLove because he's upset by her continued efforts to expose [[BitchInSheepsClothing Lila]]. In particular, he brings up an incident where Lila had been [[MaliciousSlander maliciously slandering]] the Dupain-Cheng bakery, declaring that Marinette was wrong for defending herself and her family's business. What's more, he declares that her desire to see Lila face consequences for her actions makes ''her'' a bully.
** In [[https://nobodyfamousposts.tumblr.com/post/734443964533489664/what-if-adrien-rejection-in-felix-culpa this follow-up]], Adrien proceeds to [[PlayingTheVictimCard play the victim]] by telling the rest of the class a ''heavily'' biased version of events, claiming that Marinette [[IndignantSlap slapped him]] "[[BlatantLies for no reason]]". (In reality, it was because he'd [[PossessiveWristGrab grabbed her wrist]] and wouldn't let her go.) Adrien continues blaming Marinette even after the rest of the class [[InternalReveal learns more about what happened]] -- with even Lila [[TheFarmerAndTheViper turning upon him]] to save herself from exposure.
[[AC:''Franchise/MyHeroAcademia'']]
* ''Fanfic/AccidentalSuccessor'': After groping Tsuyu during the League of Villains' attack on the USJ, Mineta attempts to defend himself by blaming her for the incident. Thankfully, Principal Nedzu is having none of it and expels him.
* ''[[https://archiveofourown.org/works/39604527 Actions of a Hero]]'' has Izuku [[PointOfDivergence give Katsuki what he wants]] during their exam together, letting him distract All Might while he runs for the gate. All Might then declares how {{disappointed|InYou}} he is that Izuku didn't "work with his comrade", completely ignoring how the BarbaricBully had been beating the shit out of his teammate. Cue an emergency meeting where Inko calls out the blatant double standard:
-->'''Inko:''' So I ask you, why was it my son who received a verbal lecture, while Katsuki got to stand around talking with his classmates? Why was it my son who came home crying, feeling like he'd failed, when he was the only student in the exam ''doing what was asked of him?''
* ''Fanfic/{{Death Daggers|MHA}}'' has a [[PsychoPsychologist quirkist Quirk counselor]] who firmly believes that anyone with strong Quirks should be able to hurt those weaker than them without any consequences. As far as he's concerned, anyone who can't defend themselves against such abuse ''deserves'' to be hurt because they're so weak.
* ''[[https://archiveofourown.org/works/40192773 Disciplinary Action]]'': One of the ways that [[SuckySchool Aldera]] covered up Katsuki's {{Barbaric Bully}}ing was by giving ''Izuku'' detention, claiming that he kept "disrupting class" and causing problems. When Principal Nedzu investigates and uncovers the truth, Mitsuki balks at the prospect of watching a video one of his classmates took of Katsuki [[SuicideDare suicide baiting]] Izuku, only for Inko to speak up and reveal how far this went:
-->'''Inko:''' Play it.\\
'''Masaru:''' Inko!\\
'''Inko:''' Years. For ''years'' you sympathized with me when Izuku got detention and phone calls home, telling me that he needed a firmer hand. While ''this'' was happening, while I was being investigated by social workes because of his injuries and Izuku got lectures from all three of us for being ''clumsy'', while Katsuki was calling me auntie and, and-- ''(wipes her eyes)'' I should have known. ''You'' should have known. ''Play the video''.
* ''Fanfic/TheEmancipators'': When called out on how his explosions left [[spoiler:Ochako]] permanently scarred, Katsuki sneers that they "should have dodged".
* In the ''Fanfic/EnneaSeries'', some of the nastier media sources and civilians blame [[spoiler:poor Hawks]] for how they were captured and tortured by Kaetsu. These groups claim that as a Pro Hero with a [[FantasticRacism mutant-type Quirk]], they "didn't try hard enough to fight back", and that if they weren't "strong enough" to prevent it, then they shouldn't be a Hero at all. Aizawa disgustedly calls it a classic case of victim-blaming.
* ''Fanfic/OneForAllAndEightForTheNinth'': Mineta's mother, Karen, blames Momo for how her son sexually harasses her, claiming that "If those harlots are going to dress provocatively, a few youthful indiscretions are unavoidable."
* ''Fanfic/{{Statistic}}'' has Toshinori going undercover at [[SuckySchool Aldera Middle School]], where he swiftly learns that all of his fellow teachers and staff blame Izuku for being bullied. They also refuse to take any of Toshinori's concerns seriously since he claimed to be Quirkless himself. When he finally [[WhatTheHellHero calls them all out]], Maita smugly declares that he's showing off "the Quirkless victim complex".
* ''Fanfic/{{Think Before You Speak|MHA}}'':
** Izuku manages to avoid Katsuki's attempt to test out the explosive potential of his new gauntlets on him. Unfortunately, [[DeadlyDodging the attack hits Tenya instead]]. Aizawa tells Tensei that ''Izuku'' was at fault for the incident, describing him as reckless and struggling to control his SuperStrength, as part of a scheme to get Izuku ConvictedByPublicOpinion through MaliciousSlander.
** Katsuki is so used to [[KarmaHoudini getting away]] with his {{Barbaric Bully}}ing that his primary defense for how he disobeyed All Might's direct orders to stand down was that "I only did that because it was ''Deku!''" He legitimately believes that's enough to justify and excuse his behavior.
* ''Fanfic/Type2Hero'': One of Katsuki's many, ''many'' violent assaults on his favorite victim resulted in him [[AnArmAndALeg blowing off Izuku's arm]]. Not only does he [[TheUnapologetic feel absolutely no remorse whatsoever]], both he ''and'' his mother blame Izuku, with Mitsuki insisting what happened was "just an accident" and that her son shouldn't be punished for ''crippling'' Izuku.
* ''Fanfic/WereNotFriendsKacchan'':
** As it turns out, Aizawa unintentionally engaged in this due to his own bad experiences. Growing up, he was frequently bullied for his 'villainous Quirk' by others PlayingTheVictimCard, falsely claiming that he'd used his powers on them. He [[WrongAssumption wrongly assumed]] that ''Izuku'' was yet another BitchInSheepsClothing playing the same game, and that he was only ''pretending'' to be bullied by Katsuki.
** Several of their classmates in 1-A assumed that Aizawa wasn't punishing Katsuki for breaking the rules so often because he knew something they didn't, with many drawing the conclusion that Izuku was instigating their fights somehow. Once they learn about the SuicideDare incident, this sparks a collective HeelRealization from everybody who'd made such assumptions.
** Katsuki himself naturally engages in this, constantly insisting that [[NeverMyFault he hasn't done anything wrong]]. Even when his own internal voice asks him "[[ArmorPiercingQuestion So was Deku the villain of the story the whole time? Or was it you?]]", he refuses to acknowledge the point it's just made as that would mean admitting his mistakes.

* ''Fanfic/AndrogyninjasADoseOfVenom'': After her impressive showing at the Chuunin Exams, Sakura finds herself being targeted by certain Konohan shinobi using [[ScrewTheRulesIHaveConnections their connections]] to make her life harder, such as screwing with her ability to restock her supplies. Then one of her missions goes horribly off the rails to the point that she's [[spoiler:the SoleSurvivor]]. Following this incident, Ino [[DiscussedTrope notes]] that there's a high chance of all the ''incidents'' involving Sakura being used as an excuse to [[ReassignedToAntarctica ship her off somewhere]] that she'll be "out of the way", effectively blaming her for all the trouble she's been through.
* ''Fanfic/InDreamsYouFollowButIDreamInTheDark'': After Kiba [[AssholeVictim kills Danzo]], many of Danzo's supporters are furious over his apparent CrimeOfSelfDefense, implying that if the former war hero ''was'' isolating and grooming him, it was because Kiba was too weak to defend himself from his advances. Others blame Tsume and the rest of the Inuzuka clan for failing to notice what was happening before Kiba took matters into his own hands.
* In ''[[Fanfic/TheMoonCriesInReverseNaruto Lunar Lamentations]]'', Anko, Ibiki and Hiruzen fear Shikamaru's intelligence could result in him becoming "the next Orochimaru". So they subject him and his teammates [[TeamMemberInTheAdaptation Naruto and Sakura]] to utterly ''horrific'' treatment, locking them into T&I for months for some TrainingFromHell. All three insist the trio brought it upon themselves by virtue of being ''themselves'', spurring Jiraiya to fear that they're creating a SelfFulfillingProphecy by telling the kids it's ''their fault''.
* ''[[Fanfic/ThreesACrowdNaruto Three's A Crowd]]'': Sakura is the only member of Team Seven who takes the concept of teamwork seriously. Sasuke and [[TeamMemberInTheAdaptation Uo]] are both {{Ineffectual Loner}}s who believe they're ''too good'' to work with others or take D-Ranks seriously, and while Kakashi pays lip service to the idea, he's reluctant to actually address the boys' issues himself. Instead, he insists that it's actually ''Sakura's fault'' that the pair don't respect her, since she's reluctant to show off the full extent of her skills. While ignoring that both boys ''already'' know she was top of their class and simply don't care, and how her outperforming them in exercises just makes them upset that they were [[IWasBeatenByAGirl beaten by a]] ''[[IWasBeatenByAGirl girl]]''.

* In ''Fanfic/AYearToFillAnEmptyHome'', the {{Jerkass}} cop explaining the conditions of Akira's probation to his parents none-too-subtly implies that ''they'' are one of the "bad influences" that they're sending Akira to Tokyo to get away from. This convinces Chou and Takeshi to take the no-contact order at face value.
[[AC:''WebAnimation/{{RWBY}}'']]
* ''Fanfic/{{Raise}}'': Over the course of many, ''many'' years of having others taking his ability to bring people BackFromTheDead for granted, expecting Jaune to work himself well beyond the point of exhaustion simply because [[EntitledBastard they feel entitled to his service]], all while acting like {{Ungrateful Bastard}}s, Jaune becomes [[MaddenIntoMisanthropy immensely jaded]]. This reaches the point where he feels as though most of his patients are TooDumbToLive, blaming either them or their negligent parents for engaging in such reckless behavior, expecting him to save them from the consequences of their actions.

Eventually, she kicks Nyoko out of the house while her husband and the rest of their children watch.
* In the ''Fanfic/InfinityTrainBlossomverse'', this tactic is commonly employed by antagonists and ''pro''tagonists alike. Chloe, for instance, is constantly blamed by her bullies for how they [[AllOfTheOtherReindeer abused and isolated her]], claiming that she ''deserved'' to be treated that way for being a CreepyLonerGirl as well as having the privilege of being a Pokémon Professor's daughter. Chloe in turn has her moments of engaging in this, such as when she viciously calls out [[spoiler:Paul/Despair]].
* The main characters of ''Fanfic/MyBravePonyStarfleetMagic'' all blame [[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic Twilight Sparkle]] for [[spoiler:her death at the hands of Raven]].

* ''Fanfic/WithPearlAndRubyGlowing'' deals with victim-blaming in several chapters, fitting its CentralTheme of the struggles rape and abuse victims face.
** [[WesternAnimation/TheGreatMouseDetective Basil]]'s father implied Basil's rape was due to naivety, saying he's old enough to know about "stranger danger."
** [[{{WesternAnimation/Rango}} Rattlesnake Jake]] shames a six-year-old [[WesternAnimation/GravityFalls Gideon Gleeful]] for being raped by Bill Cipher because it makes him impure and possibly gay, and claims he has to be raped again to be "cured."
** [[{{WesternAnimation/Freaktown}} Boo Boo]] blames Priscilla for her own assault, even though Boo Boo set it up.
** Miss Kitty is assaulted outside of a club, and when the police arrive, they arrest her for "soliciting" because she's a sex worker, which is also why she was attacked to begin with. To contrast, her assailants only get charged for "disturbing the peace."
** The police blame Mabel for her gang-rape because she sent the men (who [[{{Catfishing}} claimed to be one boy her age]]) inappropriate pictures of herself (which the men asked her to do). Stan chews them out for this.
** [[WesternAnimation/TurningRed Tyler]] half-undresses and gropes Meilin in front of the entire party, and she gets blamed for retaliating, with the implication of misogyny, classism, and racism (Tyler is also partly Asian, but Meilin's family is much more traditional) being among the reasons. She did kick him in the groin hard enough to make him bleed, so it's understandable that people who didn't witness it might blame her, but he was the one who started it.

In ''Back to the Future'', his aunt and uncle say it served him right for wandering into a place he didn't belong; and in ''Ghost in the Shell'', CNN QuoteMine him to make it sound like he was complicit in all the horrible things his Yeerks did.
** Several television personalities in ''Lost World'' claim that people made Yeerks up so they don't have to take responsibility for their own actions.
** ''Total Recall'' mentions the "Vicky Austin argument", named after a Controller who committed suicide on live television. Some lawyers think that any host ''could'' have done that if they ''really'' wanted to, so anyone who didn't (eg: Alloran) was secretly complicit, even though FightingFromTheInside is ''extremely difficult''.
[[AC:''Franchise/{{Arrowverse}}'']]
* ''Fanfic/{{Blackbird|Arrow}}'': Dinah Lance tries to justify her decision to trade her older daughter Laurel to the League of Assassins for her younger daughter Sara by blaming ''Laurel'' for befriending Oliver and bringing him into her lives. Her reasoning is that if she hadn't befriended Oliver and later dated him, he wouldn't have tried to blow up their relationship by taking Sara on the ''Gambit'' with him and Sara would have never gotten on it. It's such a bad case of InsaneTrollLogic that even the traumatized Sara immediately tries to refute it, and the only reason she doesn't succeed is because [[AbusiveParents Dinah talks over her and tries to bully her into accepting the latter's decision]]. Naturally, nobody else accepts that line of thinking and the entire situation just serves to make Dinah a bigger HateSink.

[[AC:''Manga/LoveHina'']]
* ''Fanfic/ForHisOwnSake'': Naru does this regularly as part of her NeverMyFault attitude. Not only does she constantly blame Keitaro for all of her UnprovokedPervertPayback assaults upon him, she blames him for her KarmaHoudiniWarranty running out after he breaks up with her. Not that she actually ''wants him back'', mind you -- she only attempts to [[CrossingTheBurntBridge cross that burnt bridge]] after she's torched all of her other options.
** Naru also initially refuses to apologize to a man she assaulted until she's [[OrderedApology ordered to do so]]. When she later claims that she shouldn't be punished any further due to said apology, Chizuka points out that she only did so because she was ''forced'' to apologize... and Naru goes on to rant about how she shouldn't have needed to, continuing to blame her victim and his wife for pressing charges over the assault.
[[AC:''WesternAnimation/MiraculousLadybug'']]
* ''Fanfic/{{CONSEQUENCES|MiraculousLadybug}}'': In ''WORLD BEYOND'', Hawk Moth goes on a MonumentalDamage rampage around the world, slaughtering innocents around the world while claiming that Ladybug and Chat Noir are responsible for their deaths, as they're unable to reach those places and save them with the Miraculous Cure. Lila parrots his rhetoric, saying the heroes should just surrender their Miraculi to end the slaughter.
* In ''Fanfic/CrimsonAndNoire'', Monarch's victims are blamed for the things they did as akuma, despite Crimson Beetle and Lady Noire explaining to the public that they were BrainwashedAndCrazy. Many former akuma are ostracized, isolated and shamed.
* ''Fanfic/DodgedABeetle'': During Parent Career Day, Chloé trips Marinette, and Lila calls the SpoiledBrat out on it. Mayor Bourgeois then angrily demands that Roger ''arrest'' Marinette and Lila for ''daring'' to accuse his daughter of such an act, despite it being blatantly obvious that she did.
* ''Fanfic/TheKarmaOfLies'':
** Adrien dismisses and downplays the impact of Lila [[ConArtist conning his classmates]] by claiming his friends wouldn't give up anything they couldn't ''afford'' to lose. He also underestimates how cunning Lila actually is, implicitly blaming the others for not being able to see through her deception.
** Lila reacts incredulously when Adrien [[spoiler:enters his bank account passwords in front of her]], treating this as though he was practically ''begging'' her to take advantage. This also makes it incredibly difficult for him to [[CassandraTruth convince the police of the truth]], in large part because they find it hard to believe that he didn't exercise any caution around her [[TheFarmerAndTheViper despite knowing her true nature]].
* ''Fanfic/KarmasABitch'':
** Defied and discussed by Tikki. While she agrees with Zoe's criticisms about how Marinette was dealing with Lila, she admits that she didn't bring them up herself before because she didn't want Marinette to feel like she was blaming her for being bullied by the ManipulativeBitch.
** Lila is wrongly suspected of this when she tries to convince the police that [[spoiler:''Zoe'' was the mastermind behind their plans to con their classmates]], as by this point, they already know that [[LiarRevealed she's a habitual liar]] who regularly engages in such tactics.
* ''Fanfic/LadyBugOut'':
** Alya attempts to defend her mishandling of the Oblivio incident by blaming Ladybug for suffering LaserGuidedAmnesia in the first place, declaring that if she didn't want to have photos of her posted without context, "Maybe she shouldn't be kissing somebody in front of her favorite blogger's phone."
** When Adrien gets in trouble with Master Fu for attacking Ladybug, he attempts to get ''her'' in trouble as well, trying to convince the Guardian that the incident was entirely ''her'' fault.
* ''Fanfic/LeaveForMendeleiev'':
** Ms. Bustier pressures Chloé's victims to "lead by example" by [[EasilyForgiven forgiving every slight]]. She also tries to force Marinette to continue submitting to Chloé's abuse even after she transfers to Mendeleiev's class, claiming she [[SelfServingMemory never noticed any problems]] back when Marinette was one of her students.
** Nino tells Marinette that it was ''her'' fault she got bullied, and that she should have stood up for herself against Chloé. He similarly blames Mylène for getting cowed by Chloé's badgering and bullying. Note that he says all of this because [[{{Hypocrite}} he couldn't bring himself to tell Chloé]] that he didn't want her involved with his movie, as he was afraid [[ScrewTheRulesIHaveConnections she'd have her father to shut the whole project down]].
* ''[[https://archiveofourown.org/works/20306431/chapters/48140335 Once Bitten, Twice Shy]]'': Marinette responded to one of Adrien's lectures about how [[DisappointedInYou disappointed he was]] that she was still trying to expose Lila when she "wasn't hurting anyone" with her lies by giving him an IndignantSlap. Due to this, he's secretly ''satisfied'' by watching her suffer in class, telling himself that she ''deserves'' to be hurt... in precisely the way he was refusing to acknowledge she was being hurt before.
* Referenced in ''Fanfic/ASmallButStubbornFire'': Sabine fears that her daughter has been assaulted, and that the reason why Marinette refuses to say anything or open up about her trauma is that she's convinced [[CassandraTruth nobody will believe her]]... or that worse, they'll insist it was entirely her own fault.
* ''Webcomic/ScarletLady'':
** In the second half of "Origins", the similarities between Hawkmoth/Gabriel and Chloé are highlighted by how both engage in this: Hawkmoth attempts to blame the heroes for the damage dealt to Paris by their fight with Stoneheart, while Chloé [[PlayingTheVictimCard tries to convince Adrien]] that Marinette was bullying ''her'' by standing up to her. Both get called out on this; Marinette berates Hawkmoth and [[FlippingTheBird flips him off]] while Adrien makes clear to Chloé that he isn't fooled and warns her that he'll cut off their friendship if she doesn't stop mistreating others. Incidentally, these incidents also spark off Chat Noir crushing on Marinette and Marinette crushing on Adrien, respectively.
** While she denies it when Marinette [[WhatTheHellHero calls her out on it]], Caline Bustier engages in this by punishing her "model student" for ''daring'' to be upset by Chloé vandalizing the gift she made for her homeroom teacher. Tellingly, despite insisting that they can't ''force'' Chloé to treat others better, Bustier attempts to do just that with Marinette, even ''before'' getting akumatized into flagrant ControlFreak Zombiezou.
* ''Fanfic/TwoLetters'':
** The fic combines this with CartesianKarma. After spending two years fighting Hawkmoth, constantly repressing her negative emotions for fear of getting akumatized herself, Marinette [[TheResenter grew resentful]] of how often others got akumatized. She convinced herself that they weren't even ''trying'' to resist, willingly [[DealWithTheDevil letting Hawkmoth akumatize them]] so they could go on rampages for [[DisappointedByTheMotive trivial, petty and frivolous reasons]]. Due to this, she decided to retire, handing the Earrings over to a SketchySuccessor whom she deems to be "[[LaserGuidedKarma the hero the people of Paris]] ''[[LaserGuidedKarma deserve]]''".
** This also served as Mayor Andre's [[EstablishingCharacterMoment introduction to Marinette]]. Back when she first met Chloé, the SpoiledBrat demanded she hand over all the cookies she'd brought for lunch; when Marinette refused, Chloé then smashed Marinette's lunch and laughed at her tears. When her parents took her to meet the Mayor so he could apologize for his daughter's behavior, he instead laughed it off and declared "Kids will be kids," advising Marinette to bring ''extra'' cookies the next day so ''she'' could properly apologize to ''Chloé''. Thus began years of bullying.
* ''Fanfic/VillainOfYourOwnStory'': In the [[RealityWarpingIsNotAToy new reality created by]] [[BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor Alya's Wish]], Adrien blames Chloé's old classmates for her KarmaHoudiniWarranty running out.

Of course, he ''also'' wants her to help turn ''Hawkmoth'' into a KarmaHoudini, which [[ItsAllAboutMe says even more about his priorities]].
* ''Fanfic/{{The Wolves in the Woods|MiraculousLadybug}}'':
** According to [[MisplacedKindergartenTeacher Ms. Bustier]], bullies should not be held accountable for their actions as "they're only children". Instead, she expects their victims to "lead by example" by [[TurnTheOtherCheek turning the other cheek]] and forgiving them. Since she refuses to discipline the bullies at ''all'', this translates to the victims getting into more trouble instead.
** Ms. Bustier also allows most of the class to turn on Marinette after Lila convinces them that ''she's'' the BitchInSheepsClothing, making no move to intervene after Kim trips Marinette in front of her. Even when [[spoiler:Lila herself]] asks her several times to step in, she refuses, believing that Marinette should resolve the situation herself.
** In a collection of deleted and extra scenes, one features Bustier calling Salomon in to discuss Amaia and Andres' "poor conduct" in class. Said misconduct includes Amaia refusing to apologize to Alya after the other girl falsely accused her of theft and Andres [[CrimeOfSelfDefense defending himself]] whenever Kim or Alix attack him. Salomon is completely disgusted to learn that Bustier hasn't done anything to address the others' {{Barbaric Bully}}ing, and that she fully expects him to buy into her rhetoric simply because he's a fellow teacher.
** Adrien fully subscribes to Bustier's toxic beliefs, claiming that Marinette brought the bullying onto herself by [[CassandraTruth trying to warn the others about Lila]]. He clings to this belief even after the public learns about his BetrayalByInaction and decries him for it, ruining his former reputation as the "golden boy of Paris". When Luka suggests that he should apologize to Marinette, he angrily retorts that "Well, if she hadn't tried to expose Lila like that, then this wouldn't have happened!"
** He also expresses this attitude as Chat Noir. Not only does he blame Ladybug for the akumatization of [[spoiler:Alya into Rena Rage]], he suggests that they should let the akuma go after the Rossis, claiming that "it's only fair" to let them be hurt.
* In [[https://nobodyfamousposts.tumblr.com/post/184218659010/i-think-the-worse-way-adrien-could-reject this what-if scenario]], Adrien turns down Marinette's AnguishedDeclarationOfLove because he's upset by her continued efforts to expose [[BitchInSheepsClothing Lila]]. In particular, he brings up an incident where Lila had been [[MaliciousSlander maliciously slandering]] the Dupain-Cheng bakery, declaring that Marinette was wrong for defending herself and her family's business. What's more, he declares that her desire to see Lila face consequences for her actions makes ''her'' a bully.
** In [[https://nobodyfamousposts.tumblr.com/post/734443964533489664/what-if-adrien-rejection-in-felix-culpa this follow-up]], Adrien proceeds to [[PlayingTheVictimCard play the victim]] by telling the rest of the class a ''heavily'' biased version of events, claiming that Marinette [[IndignantSlap slapped him]] "[[BlatantLies for no reason]]". (In reality, it was because he'd [[PossessiveWristGrab grabbed her wrist]] and wouldn't let her go.) Adrien continues blaming Marinette even after the rest of the class [[InternalReveal learns more about what happened]] -- with even Lila [[TheFarmerAndTheViper turning upon him]] to save herself from exposure.

* ''Fanfic/AccidentalSuccessor'': After groping Tsuyu during the League of Villains' attack on the USJ, Mineta attempts to defend himself by blaming her for the incident. Thankfully, Principal Nedzu is having none of it and expels him.
* ''[[https://archiveofourown.org/works/39604527 Actions of a Hero]]'' has Izuku [[PointOfDivergence give Katsuki what he wants]] during their exam together, letting him distract All Might while he runs for the gate. All Might then declares how {{disappointed|InYou}} he is that Izuku didn't "work with his comrade", completely ignoring how the BarbaricBully had been beating the shit out of his teammate. Cue an emergency meeting where Inko calls out the blatant double standard:
-->'''Inko:''' So I ask you, why was it my son who received a verbal lecture, while Katsuki got to stand around talking with his classmates? Why was it my son who came home crying, feeling like he'd failed, when he was the only student in the exam ''doing what was asked of him?''
* ''Fanfic/{{Death Daggers|MHA}}'' has a [[PsychoPsychologist quirkist Quirk counselor]] who firmly believes that anyone with strong Quirks should be able to hurt those weaker than them without any consequences. As far as he's concerned, anyone who can't defend themselves against such abuse ''deserves'' to be hurt because they're so weak.
* ''[[https://archiveofourown.org/works/40192773 Disciplinary Action]]'': One of the ways that [[SuckySchool Aldera]] covered up Katsuki's {{Barbaric Bully}}ing was by giving ''Izuku'' detention, claiming that he kept "disrupting class" and causing problems. When Principal Nedzu investigates and uncovers the truth, Mitsuki balks at the prospect of watching a video one of his classmates took of Katsuki [[SuicideDare suicide baiting]] Izuku, only for Inko to speak up and reveal how far this went:
-->'''Inko:''' Play it.\\
'''Masaru:''' Inko!\\
'''Inko:''' Years. For ''years'' you sympathized with me when Izuku got detention and phone calls home, telling me that he needed a firmer hand. While ''this'' was happening, while I was being investigated by social workes because of his injuries and Izuku got lectures from all three of us for being ''clumsy'', while Katsuki was calling me auntie and, and-- ''(wipes her eyes)'' I should have known. ''You'' should have known. ''Play the video''.
* ''Fanfic/TheEmancipators'': When called out on how his explosions left [[spoiler:Ochako]] permanently scarred, Katsuki sneers that they "should have dodged".
* In the ''Fanfic/EnneaSeries'', some of the nastier media sources and civilians blame [[spoiler:poor Hawks]] for how they were captured and tortured by Kaetsu. These groups claim that as a Pro Hero with a [[FantasticRacism mutant-type Quirk]], they "didn't try hard enough to fight back", and that if they weren't "strong enough" to prevent it, then they shouldn't be a Hero at all. Aizawa disgustedly calls it a classic case of victim-blaming.
* ''Fanfic/OneForAllAndEightForTheNinth'': Mineta's mother, Karen, blames Momo for how her son sexually harasses her, claiming that "If those harlots are going to dress provocatively, a few youthful indiscretions are unavoidable."
* ''Fanfic/{{Statistic}}'' has Toshinori going undercover at [[SuckySchool Aldera Middle School]], where he swiftly learns that all of his fellow teachers and staff blame Izuku for being bullied. They also refuse to take any of Toshinori's concerns seriously since he claimed to be Quirkless himself. When he finally [[WhatTheHellHero calls them all out]], Maita smugly declares that he's showing off "the Quirkless victim complex".
* ''Fanfic/{{Think Before You Speak|MHA}}'':
** Izuku manages to avoid Katsuki's attempt to test out the explosive potential of his new gauntlets on him. Unfortunately, [[DeadlyDodging the attack hits Tenya instead]]. Aizawa tells Tensei that ''Izuku'' was at fault for the incident, describing him as reckless and struggling to control his SuperStrength, as part of a scheme to get Izuku ConvictedByPublicOpinion through MaliciousSlander.
** Katsuki is so used to [[KarmaHoudini getting away]] with his {{Barbaric Bully}}ing that his primary defense for how he disobeyed All Might's direct orders to stand down was that "I only did that because it was ''Deku!''" He legitimately believes that's enough to justify and excuse his behavior.
* ''Fanfic/Type2Hero'': One of Katsuki's many, ''many'' violent assaults on his favorite victim resulted in him [[AnArmAndALeg blowing off Izuku's arm]]. Not only does he [[TheUnapologetic feel absolutely no remorse whatsoever]], both he ''and'' his mother blame Izuku, with Mitsuki insisting what happened was "just an accident" and that her son shouldn't be punished for ''crippling'' Izuku.
* ''Fanfic/WereNotFriendsKacchan'':
** As it turns out, Aizawa unintentionally engaged in this due to his own bad experiences. Growing up, he was frequently bullied for his 'villainous Quirk' by others PlayingTheVictimCard, falsely claiming that he'd used his powers on them. He [[WrongAssumption wrongly assumed]] that ''Izuku'' was yet another BitchInSheepsClothing playing the same game, and that he was only ''pretending'' to be bullied by Katsuki.
** Several of their classmates in 1-A assumed that Aizawa wasn't punishing Katsuki for breaking the rules so often because he knew something they didn't, with many drawing the conclusion that Izuku was instigating their fights somehow. Once they learn about the SuicideDare incident, this sparks a collective HeelRealization from everybody who'd made such assumptions.
** Katsuki himself naturally engages in this, constantly insisting that [[NeverMyFault he hasn't done anything wrong]]. Even when his own internal voice asks him "[[ArmorPiercingQuestion So was Deku the villain of the story the whole time? Or was it you?]]", he refuses to acknowledge the point it's just made as that would mean admitting his mistakes.

* ''Fanfic/AndrogyninjasADoseOfVenom'': After her impressive showing at the Chuunin Exams, Sakura finds herself being targeted by certain Konohan shinobi using [[ScrewTheRulesIHaveConnections their connections]] to make her life harder, such as screwing with her ability to restock her supplies. Then one of her missions goes horribly off the rails to the point that she's [[spoiler:the SoleSurvivor]]. Following this incident, Ino [[DiscussedTrope notes]] that there's a high chance of all the ''incidents'' involving Sakura being used as an excuse to [[ReassignedToAntarctica ship her off somewhere]] that she'll be "out of the way", effectively blaming her for all the trouble she's been through.
* ''Fanfic/InDreamsYouFollowButIDreamInTheDark'': After Kiba [[AssholeVictim kills Danzo]], many of Danzo's supporters are furious over his apparent CrimeOfSelfDefense, implying that if the former war hero ''was'' isolating and grooming him, it was because Kiba was too weak to defend himself from his advances. Others blame Tsume and the rest of the Inuzuka clan for failing to notice what was happening before Kiba took matters into his own hands.
* In ''[[Fanfic/TheMoonCriesInReverseNaruto Lunar Lamentations]]'', Anko, Ibiki and Hiruzen fear Shikamaru's intelligence could result in him becoming "the next Orochimaru". So they subject him and his teammates [[TeamMemberInTheAdaptation Naruto and Sakura]] to utterly ''horrific'' treatment, locking them into T&I for months for some TrainingFromHell. All three insist the trio brought it upon themselves by virtue of being ''themselves'', spurring Jiraiya to fear that they're creating a SelfFulfillingProphecy by telling the kids it's ''their fault''.
* ''[[Fanfic/ThreesACrowdNaruto Three's A Crowd]]'': Sakura is the only member of Team Seven who takes the concept of teamwork seriously. Sasuke and [[TeamMemberInTheAdaptation Uo]] are both {{Ineffectual Loner}}s who believe they're ''too good'' to work with others or take D-Ranks seriously, and while Kakashi pays lip service to the idea, he's reluctant to actually address the boys' issues himself. Instead, he insists that it's actually ''Sakura's fault'' that the pair don't respect her, since she's reluctant to show off the full extent of her skills. While ignoring that both boys ''already'' know she was top of their class and simply don't care, and how her outperforming them in exercises just makes them upset that they were [[IWasBeatenByAGirl beaten by a]] ''[[IWasBeatenByAGirl girl]]''.

This convinces Chou and Takeshi to take the no-contact order at face value.

* This comes up several times in ''Series/AppleTreeYard'' in different forms.
** When [[spoiler:George]] tries to pressure [[spoiler:Yvonne]] into sex, he points out she's already having sex with another man who isn't her husband, then rapes her when she still rejects him, with it being implied [[spoiler:George]] believes she deserves it because she's an adulterer.
** The hostess of a dinner party makes comments suggesting a woman who was recently gang-raped brought it on herself, because surely she would've known what the men's intentions were when she was alone with them; she also questions why she couldn't have just bitten the man who forced her to perform oral sex. Yvonne vocally condemns this, saying that perhaps the woman felt too scared to fight or went with the men under the impression her autonomy would be respected.
** When [[spoiler:Yvonne]]'s lawyer asks her about her rape and she admits she didn't try to physically stop [[spoiler:George]] or get away, he says that some people on the jury may question whether she was raped because she 'let' it happen. This infuriates psychology professor Gary, who explains in a blunt fashion (with a knife to illustrate the point) that some people faced with dangerous and traumatic situations will [[DeerInTheHeadlights instinctively freeze up]] instead of fighting or escaping (it's worth noting that [[spoiler:George]] also struck [[spoiler:Yvonne]] and threatened her with further violence, so it's even less surprising she would've tried to fight).
** While [[spoiler:Yvonne]] is being questioned by [[spoiler:Mark's lawyer]], it's brought up that shortly before her 'alleged' rape, [[spoiler:Yvonne]] had had sex with [[spoiler:Mark]] in an alleyway and attended the party where the assault occurred not wearing underwear, among other things; the line of questioning obviously implies that [[spoiler:Yvonne]] is lying about the rape or perhaps led [[spoiler:George]] on. [[spoiler:Yvonne]] starts crying and states that this kind of attitude is exactly why she didn't go to the police about the rape at the time or disclose her affair with [[spoiler:Mark]] earlier, because she was scared everyone would assume she was a liar or had it coming.
* ''Series/ClassOf09'': Drew was shot mistakenly by a fellow agent in 1997 when attempting to aid her colleagues. She was blamed for it, not him.
* ''Series/CobraKai'': The season 2 finale has Tory start a fight with Sam which escalates into a gang brawl between Miyagi-Do and Cobra Kai students, resulting in both Sam and Miguel being hospitalized. Even though Tory started the fight, Sam is still treated as if she is equally or entirely to blame and gets suspended for two weeks. At a PTA meeting to decide how to deal with school violence, one of the parents accuses Sam of "tramping around" with Tory's boyfriend as if that excuses Tory attacking her.
* ''Series/CriminalMinds'': When the BAU is called to aid in the case of a girl abducted from a local mall, they quickly discover that her paternal uncle was molesting her. This eventually leads to the revelation that his wife, the girl's aunt, was the abductor, because she blamed the girl for her husband's deviant behavior.
* ''Series/TheCrowdedRoom'': Candy is afraid she'll be blamed if Marlin molested Danny. Rya assures her she was also a victim, and that predators find vulnerable people through no fault of their own, with this being a tragic occurrence she would never blame her for. This spurs Candy to testify for Danny about Marlin at his trial. Marlin tries to stop her testifying by saying that people ''will'' blame her if she says it though. This gets her to deny the abuse on the stand.
* As with many crime procedural shows, this shows up from time to time on the various ''CSI'' series:
** In an episode of ''Series/CSICrimeSceneInvestigation'', "Turning of the Screws" Catherine is looking into the murder of a young girl. She initially suspects the mother's handyman boyfriend, especially after blood is found on a shovel in his truck. However, fingerprints on the shovel reveal it was the mother who killed the girl. The mother then claimed that the girl was trying to come on to the boyfriend. She became convinced of this when the boyfriend gave the girl a lift home from school (which was entirely innocent). Catherine points out that the girl was all of thirteen.
* In ''Series/{{Cursed|2020}}'', Nimue comes to Arthur for help after her village is sacked by the Red Paladins. While she rests at an abbey, Arthur steals the Sword of Power entrusted to her for his own purposes. When the Sword is in turn stolen from him, a furious Nimue confronts him about it and he in turn snaps that it's her fault for trusting him in the first place, as she knew he was a thief and mercenary.
* ''Series/TheFactsOfLife''. Natalie had a NearRapeExperience that traumatized her. At the end, she goes to a self-defense class in which the instructor goes into detail on how Natalie could have prevented the encounter. The way he was phrasing it comes across as if he was blaming her for not being better prepared.
* In ''Series/GameOfThrones'', Brienne and Jaime come across the bodies of three women who were hanged by Stark soldiers for having sex with Lannister soldiers, whom they are currently at war with; they state the women deserved it because they betrayed their country. Brienne [[CurbStompBattle disagrees]]. To make matters worse, it's left ambiguous if the three women willingly had sex with the Lannister soldiers at all, seeing as both sides are guilty of committing war crimes against the smallfolk. The only real difference is that the Lannisters did so under orders from Lord Tywin as part of an intentional terror campaign; the Northern soldiers who engage in RapePillageAndBurn did so largely against King Robb's wishes. Not that it matters for the average commoner.
* ''Series/HomicideLifeOnTheStreet'': A murderer tries to blame a woman he had killed during a BDSM session for her own death, claiming that she "corrupted" him by introducing him to it. Bayliss, something of a HeteronormativeCrusader himself, angrily chews him out over the blatant victim-blaming and tells him to accept the consequences of his own actions.
* In the ''Game of Thrones'' spinoff ''Series/HouseOfTheDragon'', Queen Alicent learns that her eldest son Aegon raped a serving girl named Dyana. Alicent is horrified by what happened but tells Dyana that if she were to accuse the prince of rape, people would blame her instead. She then buys Dyana's silence with money and a cup of [[FantasyContraception moon tea]].
* ''Series/IrmaVep'': René is accused of this after he defends Irma being raped in one scene by saying she's a murderer and villain as well.
* ''Series/JimmySavileABritishHorrorStory'': Just before the ITV program aired in which Savile's crimes were exposed, a number of people accused Savile's victims of trying to get money. One man even says they were probably groupies who "threw themselves at him," claiming that "that sort of thing happened in the pop business."
* Many a lawyer or media personality on the various ''Franchise/LawAndOrder'' series will employ a strategy of Blaming The Victim, hoping to sway the jury to either an acquittal or a hung jury (which is usually just as good as an acquittal). Depending on the judge involved, they may or may not be able to use it as a part of their defense, the opening argument, or the closing argument. Expect the D.A. to protest vociferously to such tactics.
** One particular episode of ''Series/LawAndOrderSVU'' has a victim who wrote a novel similar to ''Literature/FiftyShadesOfGray''. The perpetrator argues that it was a completely consensual act based on her books, hoping the public, and thus the jury pool, will blame her and feel that she deserved it. A.D.A. Barba tricks the defendant into demonstrating with a belt how he choked the woman. The man responds, after some provocation, into pulling hard on the belt in front of the jury. Barba demonstrated that as hard as it had pulled on his throat, it had barely left a mark, then showed photographs of the deep bruising it had done on the woman's throat. The jury rejects the defendant's argument.
* ''Series/{{Leverage}}'':
** More than a few [[VillainOfTheWeek Villains of the Week]] defend themselves by laying blame at the feet of their victims, but the standout example has to be Greg "The Mako" Sherman. When instructing his underlings on how to rip off their victims, he declares, "If they're too dumb to hold on to their money, they don't deserve to have it."
** Another episode has a corrupt Vice-President at a food company destroying reports of tainted food. He justifies it to the Leverage Team by saying that the package specifically states to heat the food to a particular temperature to avoid bacteria so that if people get sick, it's their own fault for not following proper instructions. This is a subversion, however, as he's threatening Hardison as he says it.
* ''Series/LukeCage2016'': When she was a young girl, Mariah Dillard was molested by her Uncle Pete. During an argument with her cousin Cornell, he accuses Mariah of bringing her abuse on herself by "flirting" with their uncle and "running around half naked", leading to her killing him in a fit of rage.
* In the docuseries ''Series/MenudoForeverYoung'' about the Latin boy band Menudo, former member Ralphy Rodriguez, who went public in the 90s about being abused and exploited by founder Edgardo Díaz, speaks of being accused of ingratitude for his opportunity and trying to seek financial gain.
* ''Series/ReadyOrNot1993'': In “Crossing the Line”, Busy spends a day with older guy Steve at an amusement park. Later, Steve forces himself on Busy and accuses her of leading him on just because she hung out with him.
* ''Series/SilentWitness'': In the Series 17 story "In a Lonely Place", the police and forensics team question a man about a murdered stripper named Caitlin he had gone back to his hotel room with. The man insists he didn't kill her, but does admit to punching her in the face and breaking her nose after she resisted his sexual advances. When the man mutters that it served Caitlin right for being "a junkie prick-tease", an infuriated Jack begins punching him until the cops pull him off.
* ''Series/TouchedByAnAngel'': When a local politician confronts her friend about the statutory rape charges he's facing, he defensively argues that the girl in question lied to him and claimed to be 18 and that "she didn't do anything she didn't want to", conveniently overlooking the fact that the girl was his student and for that alone he should have rebuffed her advances/not made advances to her.
* ''Series/ATouchOfFrost'':
** In "Stranger in the House", a sleazy cab driver says a girl he picked up and then tried to have sex with was asking for it, because she was dressed in skimpy clothes and didn't protest when he started kissing and touching her. When Frost questions why he didn't stop trying to go further when she ''did'' start protesting, the driver says it's "too late" by that point, that she knew what she was getting into and that men [[ImAManICantHelpIt can't control themselves]] in that situation. He backtracks a bit though, when Frost reveals that the girl was only fifteen (the age of consent in the UK is sixteen so even if he wasn't being forceful he would still get prosecuted for statutory rape) and that she was violently raped at knifepoint after fleeing from him. [[spoiler:It turns out the cab driver [[NotMeThisTime wasn't the rapist]], though not from lack of trying, and it's implied he's still going down for AttemptedRape of a minor and physically assaulting her when she resisted]].
** In "Mind Games", it's revealed the real killer of teenage cousins Jane and Harriet is [[spoiler:David Crewes, the father of Jane and uncle of Harriet]]. He killed Harriet because he found out she was planning to run away from home and would've likely exposed that he'd raped her; [[spoiler:David]] says he believed Harriet wanted to have sex with him, as he'd seen the way she acted around boys her age and the way she dressed, even though Harriet explicitly told him she never wanted this and was clearly traumatised afterwards. [[spoiler:David]] ended up killing Jane because she saw him kill Harriet and knew what he'd done. [[spoiler:David]]'s account of how this happened also has victim-blaming undertones; he says that Jane refused to listen to him and wouldn't stop screaming, insisting he had no choice.
* ''Series/{{Vera}}'': In the Season 11 episode "As The Crow Flies", it's revealed that [[spoiler:two sisters, Fern and Zara,]] were molested by [[spoiler:their late [[CreepyUncle uncle]] (he actually caused the car accident that killed him while trying to assault Zara, who fought back)]]. When Vera confronts the man's wife, she at first insists it's untrue and then says that [[spoiler:Fern]] was at fault, as she would walk around in nothing but a towel and her husband told her his victim came onto him ([[spoiler:Fern]] would've been in her teens at the time). The young woman later tells Vera she got the impression that her grandmother blamed her too and insisted they forget about it, which eventually prompted her to [[ScrewThisImOuttaHere move out]] when she was seventeen.
* Parodied by ''Series/TheWhitestKidsUKnow'' in the sketch "The Grapist". It involves a consultant pitching an ad for a creepy fruit soda mascot who's a blatant [[DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything rape metaphor]]: he bursts into people's bedrooms (including children's) in the dead of night and "grapes" them in the mouth. At one point, [[RefugeInAudacity the consultant claims that the little girl in the ad deserves to get graped]].
-->'''Consultant:''' Look at her! She's begging to get graped!\\
'''Executive:''' Will you listen to what you're saying!?\\
'''Consultant:''' Look at what she's wearing!\\

The way he was phrasing it comes across as if he was blaming her for not being better prepared.
* In ''Series/GameOfThrones'', Brienne and Jaime come across the bodies of three women who were hanged by Stark soldiers for having sex with Lannister soldiers, whom they are currently at war with; they state the women deserved it because they betrayed their country. Brienne [[CurbStompBattle disagrees]]. To make matters worse, it's left ambiguous if the three women willingly had sex with the Lannister soldiers at all, seeing as both sides are guilty of committing war crimes against the smallfolk. The only real difference is that the Lannisters did so under orders from Lord Tywin as part of an intentional terror campaign; the Northern soldiers who engage in RapePillageAndBurn did so largely against King Robb's wishes. Not that it matters for the average commoner.
* ''Series/HomicideLifeOnTheStreet'': A murderer tries to blame a woman he had killed during a BDSM session for her own death, claiming that she "corrupted" him by introducing him to it. Bayliss, something of a HeteronormativeCrusader himself, angrily chews him out over the blatant victim-blaming and tells him to accept the consequences of his own actions.
* In the ''Game of Thrones'' spinoff ''Series/HouseOfTheDragon'', Queen Alicent learns that her eldest son Aegon raped a serving girl named Dyana. Alicent is horrified by what happened but tells Dyana that if she were to accuse the prince of rape, people would blame her instead. She then buys Dyana's silence with money and a cup of [[FantasyContraception moon tea]].
* ''Series/IrmaVep'': René is accused of this after he defends Irma being raped in one scene by saying she's a murderer and villain as well.
* ''Series/JimmySavileABritishHorrorStory'': Just before the ITV program aired in which Savile's crimes were exposed, a number of people accused Savile's victims of trying to get money. One man even says they were probably groupies who "threw themselves at him," claiming that "that sort of thing happened in the pop business."
* Many a lawyer or media personality on the various ''Franchise/LawAndOrder'' series will employ a strategy of Blaming The Victim, hoping to sway the jury to either an acquittal or a hung jury (which is usually just as good as an acquittal). Depending on the judge involved, they may or may not be able to use it as a part of their defense, the opening argument, or the closing argument. Expect the D.A. to protest vociferously to such tactics.
** One particular episode of ''Series/LawAndOrderSVU'' has a victim who wrote a novel similar to ''Literature/FiftyShadesOfGray''. The perpetrator argues that it was a completely consensual act based on her books, hoping the public, and thus the jury pool, will blame her and feel that she deserved it. A.D.A. Barba tricks the defendant into demonstrating with a belt how he choked the woman. The man responds, after some provocation, into pulling hard on the belt in front of the jury. Barba demonstrated that as hard as it had pulled on his throat, it had barely left a mark, then showed photographs of the deep bruising it had done on the woman's throat. The jury rejects the defendant's argument.
* ''Series/{{Leverage}}'':
** More than a few [[VillainOfTheWeek Villains of the Week]] defend themselves by laying blame at the feet of their victims, but the standout example has to be Greg "The Mako" Sherman. When instructing his underlings on how to rip off their victims, he declares, "If they're too dumb to hold on to their money, they don't deserve to have it."
** Another episode has a corrupt Vice-President at a food company destroying reports of tainted food. He justifies it to the Leverage Team by saying that the package specifically states to heat the food to a particular temperature to avoid bacteria so that if people get sick, it's their own fault for not following proper instructions. This is a subversion, however, as he's threatening Hardison as he says it.
* ''Series/LukeCage2016'': When she was a young girl, Mariah Dillard was molested by her Uncle Pete. During an argument with her cousin Cornell, he accuses Mariah of bringing her abuse on herself by "flirting" with their uncle and "running around half naked", leading to her killing him in a fit of rage.
* In the docuseries ''Series/MenudoForeverYoung'' about the Latin boy band Menudo, former member Ralphy Rodriguez, who went public in the 90s about being abused and exploited by founder Edgardo Díaz, speaks of being accused of ingratitude for his opportunity and trying to seek financial gain.
* ''Series/ReadyOrNot1993'': In “Crossing the Line”, Busy spends a day with older guy Steve at an amusement park. Later, Steve forces himself on Busy and accuses her of leading him on just because she hung out with him.
* ''Series/SilentWitness'': In the Series 17 story "In a Lonely Place", the police and forensics team question a man about a murdered stripper named Caitlin he had gone back to his hotel room with. The man insists he didn't kill her, but does admit to punching her in the face and breaking her nose after she resisted his sexual advances. When the man mutters that it served Caitlin right for being "a junkie prick-tease", an infuriated Jack begins punching him until the cops pull him off.
* ''Series/TouchedByAnAngel'': When a local politician confronts her friend about the statutory rape charges he's facing, he defensively argues that the girl in question lied to him and claimed to be 18 and that "she didn't do anything she didn't want to", conveniently overlooking the fact that the girl was his student and for that alone he should have rebuffed her advances/not made advances to her.
* ''Series/ATouchOfFrost'':
** In "Stranger in the House", a sleazy cab driver says a girl he picked up and then tried to have sex with was asking for it, because she was dressed in skimpy clothes and didn't protest when he started kissing and touching her. When Frost questions why he didn't stop trying to go further when she ''did'' start protesting, the driver says it's "too late" by that point, that she knew what she was getting into and that men [[ImAManICantHelpIt can't control themselves]] in that situation. He backtracks a bit though, when Frost reveals that the girl was only fifteen (the age of consent in the UK is sixteen so even if he wasn't being forceful he would still get prosecuted for statutory rape) and that she was violently raped at knifepoint after fleeing from him. [[spoiler:It turns out the cab driver [[NotMeThisTime wasn't the rapist]], though not from lack of trying, and it's implied he's still going down for AttemptedRape of a minor and physically assaulting her when she resisted]].
** In "Mind Games", it's revealed the real killer of teenage cousins Jane and Harriet is [[spoiler:David Crewes, the father of Jane and uncle of Harriet]]. He killed Harriet because he found out she was planning to run away from home and would've likely exposed that he'd raped her; [[spoiler:David]] says he believed Harriet wanted to have sex with him, as he'd seen the way she acted around boys her age and the way she dressed, even though Harriet explicitly told him she never wanted this and was clearly traumatised afterwards. [[spoiler:David]] ended up killing Jane because she saw him kill Harriet and knew what he'd done. [[spoiler:David]]'s account of how this happened also has victim-blaming undertones; he says that Jane refused to listen to him and wouldn't stop screaming, insisting he had no choice.
* ''Series/{{Vera}}'': In the Season 11 episode "As The Crow Flies", it's revealed that [[spoiler:two sisters, Fern and Zara,]] were molested by [[spoiler:their late [[CreepyUncle uncle]] (he actually caused the car accident that killed him while trying to assault Zara, who fought back)]]. When Vera confronts the man's wife, she at first insists it's untrue and then says that [[spoiler:Fern]] was at fault, as she would walk around in nothing but a towel and her husband told her his victim came onto him ([[spoiler:Fern]] would've been in her teens at the time). The young woman later tells Vera she got the impression that her grandmother blamed her too and insisted they forget about it, which eventually prompted her to [[ScrewThisImOuttaHere move out]] when she was seventeen.
* Parodied by ''Series/TheWhitestKidsUKnow'' in the sketch "The Grapist". It involves a consultant pitching an ad for a creepy fruit soda mascot who's a blatant [[DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything rape metaphor]]: he bursts into people's bedrooms (including children's) in the dead of night and "grapes" them in the mouth. At one point, [[RefugeInAudacity the consultant claims that the little girl in the ad deserves to get graped]].
-->'''Consultant:''' Look at her! She's begging to get graped!\\
'''Executive:''' Will you listen to what you're saying!?\\
'''Consultant:''' Look at what she's wearing!\\
'''Executive:''' ''Look at what she's wearing?!''\\
'''Consultant:''' It's purple!\\

* In ''VisualNovel/DanganronpaTriggerHappyHavoc'', one of the students, Celestia Ludenberg, proposes an additional "no leaving your room at nighttime" rule to others in an attempt to prevent murders. In the second chapter, when she finds out that [[spoiler:Chihiro]], the chapter's murder victim, had left their room and died during nighttime, [[spoiler:specifically by meeting with the killer]], [[NoSympathy she very casually says that their death was their own fault for disrespecting her self-imposed rule]]. She's ''technically'' correct that the death would not have occurred had the victim not broken that rule, but it's a sign [[spoiler:that she's lashing out over her rule not being followed because it symbolizes her own lack of control over the situation.]]
