To End Victim Blaming, Artist Draws Illustrations Explaining Why It’s Wrong
197Kviews
Victim blaming is a dangerous logical fallacy in which the victims are blamed for the actions of the people bullying or abusing. Katarzyna Babis, an art student in Poland, decided to tackle this issue with simple comics that illustrate the problems with different forms of victim blaming.
"Lots of my friends experience such situations in their [lives] and I wanted to help them," Babis told MTV. "I wanted to turn my social media popularity into something meaningful. I think it’s really, really important to know you’re not alone with your problem."

I've been dealing with depression since my teens. I'm now 60, for awhile I was doing pretty OK, then the meds stopped being effective, they do that doesn't seem fair. But nothing seems fair right now. We, my Doctor and I as well as my husband who is a Board Certified Psycho- Pharmacist are trying to find to find a medication or medications that are as effective as what I was on. It's hard, I just want to be happy again, and this affects everyone in my family. Thank you for this, maybe it will help people understand that getting out and working or doing other stuff doesn't work. And you just can't "Cheer UP!"
I was raped when i was 18 after the incident, my parents would tell me to leave the room because i was a reminder of their embarrassment.
I think the caption completely misses the point. Using 'girl' as an insult means there's something wrong with being a girl. Heads up, it's not about the wounded daddy. It's about his wounded daughter. It's about all females. A dad getting called a girl should be thinking about who's listening, not himself. Back up your daughter or wife or mom, teach your son a lesson.
Why are people correcting the spelling ? Get over the extra o, these images have a serious message to them !
i have been dealing with depression for nearly fifteen years, and yet doctors have never been able to find anything wrong with me. . .
Frankly, a lot of gay people have a lot better fashion sense than straights!
Sometimes I see people misunderstaking depression with sadness, so that's (I think) many times despression is underestimated. People sometimes take depression as a cry for attention and don't take it seriously. So... I think people should start to say 'Im sad' instead of 'Im depressed'.
Unfortunately, because people who are sad or unhappy interchangeably use 'depressed' instead, people don't hear it as a cry for help when someone who is seriously, dangerously depressed says they're depressed. The point isn't to look at someone who says they're depressed and try to decide IF they need help, it's important to take anyone who says they're depressed and listen to them. Someone might be *Depressed* or they might be sad, but either way they've told you as a cry for help... if you don't want to help or can't, at least take it seriously enough to find someone who can help.
You're totally right, any people who needs our help deserves our attention, but... is like you don't pay the same attention to a splinter in your finger than a cut in your finger. But, either way, still think you're right. Have a nice day :D
Most people don't understand that being sad is one thing, but a chemical imbalance in the brain leads to crippling depression that you can't just "happy" your way out of.
Amazing. Don't forget the make victims of sex assaults by female perpetrators are sometimes touted as "lucky" and not victimized. And gay couples are not immune to domestic violence.
No one is immune to it, sadly.
They most certainly are not - Gay couples can have just as terrible relationships as straight couples. I know one girl who is going through a lot of legal trouble and her third DUI because of the huge negative influence her female partner is.
No one thought I was anorexic growing up until I didn't go past 56 pounds until 14... and rape is never something to joke about, no matter who suffers it.
