I know they are not really victim blaming her now, but they could. They went that route with Regina and Snow, because Snow was "bratty" and that drove Regina mad so she obviously deserved what she got and anyway, her being a shallow and selfish child is pretty much the same as Regina being a mass murderer. The show also pretty much victim blames Emma a lot with regard to Regina. So while it is not happening now, it's not like it never ever happened and that is my worry. This really isn't the place to talk about this (though it's worth its own thread in the Rants section of the forum), but I don't recall the show ever victim-blaming Snow. Regina was always clearly portrayed as being ''in the wrong. ''And Snow was quite lovely as a child aside from in flashbacks in 2x15 (which were before she met Regina), not particularly bratty.

I think you're making the mistake of confusing the fandom victim-blaming Snow with the show doing that. A villain having a tragic past does not constitute victim-blaming.
