If I go walking down a dark alley in a sketchy part of night, I'm not literally asking to get mugged, nor is it my fault if I do, but I certainly made my odds worse by doing what I did.
Pretending that these risk factors don't exist is actually harmful to society. People need to know about the risks they're taking.
