I wonder if the roles were reversed, would people blame ni-ki still?

if ni-ki was actually a 20 year old member of a girl group calling out behavior they weren’t uncomfortable with of a 26 year old man indirectly, would people still blame him? would they still tell him it’s his fault it happened?

genuinely a question btw, i don’t have a stance on this im trying to understand why he’s getting all the heat
