Agreed, but as you said, in a minority of sexual assault cases (which are the ones "don't be that guy" is about), it's reality. To shun those who inform women of that reality by calling them "victim-blamers" is, again, harmful. Ideally, getting black-out drunk wouldn't increase your risk of getting raped. But it does, so the smart thing to do is to consider the risks if you decide to do that, and you can't consider them if the information is taboo.
