Does blame traditionally fall more heavily on the tempter or the tempted?

I'd say tempter -- tempted starts from good position / is redeemable. Tempter is assumed evil by nature. Garden of Eden as metaphor for all.

We do, but we don't consider them inherently evil the way we do the tempter. Maybe why we're more mad at tempted for sinning?

maybe! I think important to see both tempter and tempted as human in this context, like the snake is something else + treated differently?

I was actually thinking of classic seductress memes.
