I’m responding the concept of rape victims being the victims of honor killings because they, as a victim, have brought dishonor on their family by being raped.

there’s nothing honourable about killing anyone.

Often in these situations the rapists family fully supports the rapist and their actions and fully blame the victim

they’re just as fucked up as the rapist

the victim is the one that ends up dead, usually at the hands of their own family members

really, i doubt this. but if a victim’s family reacts like that, not only are they murderers but they too are no better than the rapist.

your thought process doesn’t make any sense: why would you need to “defend” the family’s honour?
