To be fair, he said "apparent victim" and honestly I think the general social definition of "victim blaming" is to turn around and attack whoever is making accusations "as a victim". And frankly that is happening quite a bit. It's not quite so overt in this forum, but you look at this topic in other motorsports forum and it is quite scarily misogynistic and with lots of boys will be boys attitudes! In short, as much as there are people quick to cast Horner as the villain there are many doing the same for the complainant.
Not related to your post I quoted above, but a general observation by me is that I see a current line of logic being used in social media that...
NDA has been signed therefore
nobody signs an NDA unless they are compensated therefore
this is all just a money grab therefore
the complainant is the villain therefore
Horner is innocent.
I get that logic, but as mentioned in recent posts above, there are other equally valid paths in which the complainant is not a villain.
