The idea that you cannot possibly be at all responsible in any way for any of the bad things that happen to you is one of the most ridiculous assertions I come across on a regular basis. Are there cases where you bear 0% of the blame for what misfortune occurs? Of course! If someone shoots a gun up in the air from a mile away and the bullet comes screaming through the window and hits you, you bear no responsibility at all for being the "victim". But if you ride choose to ride the subway back and forth across the Bronx at 3 am every night with big gold chains visibly dangling around your neck, you absolutely deserve some of the blame for being the "victim" when you get mugged! It is incumbent upon every one of us to understand that when you engage with the environment and/or other people, that your words and actions have an influence and an effect. Responsibility is not a zero sum game. Just because the guy who mugs you bears 100% responsibility for being a violent criminal does not mean you are completely absolved from all responsibility after having exercise truly terrible judgement (or no judgement at all).

I am not familiar with the original OP, but anyone who goes around having interactions in a confrontational style should expect to be confronted, along with all of the other things that come along with confrontations. Pretending that none of us have any agency in any of the bad things that happen to us because we are "victims" is a silly trope that is far too common.

Of course we can be responsible for bad things that happen to us. We might also not be responsible. Without knowledge of what was posted we can’t determine what is true in this case. But making the assumption that it is deserved is unreasonable.

Actually no, wearing gold chains and riding the subway are not crimes. This is just more victim blaming.

A better example would be the mugger is responsible for their subsequent arrest and imprisonment after mugging someone.

Right, you don’t know, so you’re just assuming that’s relevant here. You have no reason to believe graphic death threats were warranted. Personally I can’t imagine a post that would justify such death threats.

Who is pretending this? You have fabricated this position.

  Come on ya'll now, let's be real
  Some jokers got a rough time keepin' it concealed
  I wonder what it mean, it's probably self-esteem
  They fiendin to be seen, get hemmed like Gabardines
  Cats think it can't happen until the gats start clappin
  They comin' down the wire spittin fire like a dragon
  Cause while the goods glisten, certain eyes take position
  To observe your trickin', then catch that ass slippin'
  Like, come on now ock, what you expect?
  Got a month's paycheck danglin' off your neck
  And while you Cristal sippin', they rubbin' up they mittens
  With heat in mint condition to start the getti-gettin'
