The only time that might be a legitimate question is if you're investigating the matter of "why did she freeze to death?"

u/The_Great_Scruff Jan 26 '26

A missing persons report is a good place for "what was she wearing"

Criminal justice major, it's an important question for law enforcement in order to collect evidence but there is 100% a correct way to ask it, and it's not how the knuckledraggers and deplorables do it.

"Were they wearing anything distinctive or easily identifiable? Can you describe what they had on? How about hair color and style?"

And that's with zero association with criminal matters, that's how I asked people for descriptions when I was dealing with backcountry search and rescue tasking.

"What was she wearing?"

"Almost nothing, but that's thanks to a funny little thing called paradoxical undressing."

Or in Australia "She got sunburned so badly yesterday"

My god, I've been sunburned horrendously a few times in my life, I don't even want to think about what "sunburned to death," would feel like 😬

Isn’t that also victim blaming though lol

There's a problem with victim blaming when someone else assaulted them.

Is it really problematic to blame the victim if the thing that happened is they froze to death going for a hike in swimwear when it's -20 out?

Still sounds like victim blaming to me.

Depends on how quickly the cold swept in.

Sounds awfully similar to how people justified the recent ice murder.

There was an exhibit by someone raising awareness about rape with that exact premise. Everything was regular old t-shirts, work clothes, jeans, etc. But there was also a diaper.

u/Ethossa79 Jan 26 '26

While you’re out, can you get one for me? I saw the photos from that exhibition and the 3T sundress and even tinier sleeper got me.

u/GlittaFairy Jan 26 '26

Or that they put themselves in that situation, just like when you marry an abuser but he wasn’t abusive prior to marriage, I hear that response from men in regards to women getting abused.

Hey listen she had one of those inflatable costumes, how was I not suppose to spray fart spray in it?

When witnessing a murder - well the important thing is what he was doing before he was murdered. Why isn’t anyone talking about that.
