I don't think anyone's going to claim it's the victim's fault here.
I'm in the camp where I think these problems on Twitter, Reddit, etc are reflective of the problems in our society. I don't blame Twitter for a bigoted hate mob, I blame the bigoted people who make up the mob.
It's like blaming KitchenAid for a stabbing, or BIC for a death threat.
Yes and no. If you were at a cooking convention, and had five people waving knives at people, always being menacing while they say it's for fun & play, would you not, at some point, tell the Expo to do something about it?
