Individually Fitting but Collectively Unfitting Blame
(2023) p.159-172- Abstract
- People that produce bad outcomes can thereby become the fitting targets of blame, the fitting intensity of which is determined by the badness of the outcomes. In the following paper, I suggest that the amount of blame instances that people are fitting targets of is also determined by the weight of the badness of the outcomes. I use the example of online blame as a paradigmatic case where the amount of blame instances are made targets of risks being excessive, even when each instance of blame is fittingly held and expressed.
