Blamed for Existing Tee
Because sometimes survival itself is treated like a crime.
This tee features a bold reimagined Frankenstein graphic — not as the monster, but as the scapegoat. Condemned not for what he did, but simply for being.
The statement cuts to the bone:
“Blamed for Existing.”
This shirt is for survivors who’ve carried shame that was never theirs to hold. For anyone made into the “problem” simply because they spoke up, took space, or existed in ways others refused to accept.
What Does “Blamed for Existing” Mean?
It means:
Being scapegoated for what you represent, not what you’ve done
Bearing the weight of rejection and projection from others
Recognizing that survival doesn’t make you a villain
Calling out systems that demonize difference and vulnerability
Reclaiming dignity from stories that tried to erase it
Frankenstein’s monster represents the scapegoated survivor.
The stitches? The fractured but unbroken self.
The bold lettering? Our refusal to take the blame any longer.
This tee is both a reclamation and a refusal — armor for anyone who has ever been punished simply for being alive.
✦ Part of The Monsters They Made Collection
This design is a proud part of The Monsters They Made, a collection reclaiming the figures history, culture, and abusers labeled as “monsters.” Each piece flips the narrative — exposing how survival, autonomy, and resistance were turned into something to fear.
Wear it to honor the past, spark conversation in the present, and reclaim power for the future.
Perfect For:
Survivors who’ve been scapegoated or silenced
Advocates dismantling systems of blame and shame
Anyone who’s ever been told their existence is “too much”
Feminist, activist, and survivor-centered spaces
Everyday wear when you want your shirt to tell the truth for you
