You help them by being their victim. If you played in one way or another, you may find a way to make it so the terrible thing doesn't occur, and thereby not allowing the terrible people to become terrible. And you have to blame yourself because maybe the other players may not see the way you play as completely enjoyable either, and seeing things from a third perspective for a second can be helpful in some ways in some things, sometimes. Maybe. Whatever you think. It's fine. Thanks.Bob... there are just so many things wrong with this line of thinking. Where do I even begin? How about a little pretend scenario?
Let's say we have a man. We'll call him Bob. Bob is riding on the train minding his own business. Maybe he's just typing away on his phone, writing nearly incomprehensible posts on some fart simulator forum. Along comes some other man who suddenly shoots Bob and starts stripping him of his clothes and farting on his face while spouting slurs and other nonsense.
[sarcasm]Guess Bob shouldn't have played the victim. Guess that's Bob's fault for minding his own business. Guess Bob has no one to blame but himself.[/sarcasm]
Do you see why your statement was garbage now? Don't blame the victim, Bob. The fault lies in the person whose actions made the person a victim. Once again, you've baffled me.
