"But what if" and "they could have deserved it" are growing way too frequently on the internet

For context:Recently on different platforms like X, instagram, tik tok etc , ive noticed a increase of people underneath videos,posts and tweets when in response to a news story or similar about someone doing something horrible and down right deploreable theres always defenders or people trying to conceive made up reasonings that would justify the ordeal, for example i see stuff like that underneath storys about Domestic violence way too much , "maybe she cheated on him" ,"maybe he said something that set her off" its so frequent lately and i have zero clue why , yeah maybe not everything that happens is black and white but that doesn't mean theres always a gray zone and middle ground in situations like this , two sides to every story ≠ a reasonable justifaction exists .
