A person who gets carpal tunnel syndrome from writing a Nobel prize winning novel is a bit different from someone who gets it playing WorldOfWarcraft is a bit different from someone who gets it by spending too much time whipping slaves.

A morality trope about the arbitrary distinctions writers make between certain sorts of victims. If a character in fiction has a problem or ailment or social situation, and the creators intend him to be sympathetic, the character will have acquired the problem in the most socially acceptable way. If the character isn't sympathetic, then he will have contracted the illness through "your own damn fault".
