It's Your Fault

In the video, It's Your Fault, the female actresses in the video insists that women are the leading cause of rape. They say scientific studies show that women who wear skirts are leading cause of rape but the clothes that were shown are not only skirts or shorts but also includes traditional Indian clothes and even a space suit which sarcastically points out the fact that the cloth women wear isn't the real cause of rape. This is an example of Horatian satire, which in a playful and joyful tone directs wit, exaggeration, and humor.

Also in scene 1:00, the woman explains that even the men are the ones who rape females, since females give birth to the males it's all their fault, which the deeper meaning hidden under the verbal irony means that the men are raping females who do a great sacrifice by giving birth to them and the future generation.

Moreover, in scene 1:13, the actress quotes, "Indian culture provides a several progressive methods to counter rape." She mocks the real society where women cannot stop the rape by calling out word by actually stopping the rape by calling out "Paya Walla" literally rape cancel in English. She quotes "it works all the time" bur in reality it doesn't

Furthermore, in the scene 1:35, the actresses claims that women who work late are also the leading cause of rape and quotes, "women, why work at all?" The reality behind it is that in average Indian family, men either don't work or don't earn enough to afford the family. It's mocking the Indian culture blaming the women who had been raped while just trying to support her family. It's another example of a Horatian satire since it's in a playful tone.

In scene 2:38, the woman says, "if you're tired of being humiliated by rape, you can always go to the cops and be humiliated by them instead." It blames the police officials in India who doesn't help the victims of rape but rather humiliate them even more. The cope in scene 2:41, the cop asks the victim if she was with boys. Obviously, if she was rape by a man or men, she was with one more boys. The cop asks unnecessary and apparent question to accuse the woman instead of helping him. The actress says, "It's my fault", and "Thank you officer", which in real world never happens.

The video overall is a satirical video that blames and mocks the Indian society that instead of punishing the criminals, assaults the victims of rape. It uses satirical techniques such as horatian satire and verbal irony.
