Then without any more details we'll probably just assume "some offensive jokes" are actually horrible, it's the most common defense by people like that. "But it was just a joke!" "No Grandpa, you're just a racist." You're right though, it is a lot more prevalent than just high profile cases. But I also assume your friend deserved it.

> we'll probably just assume "some offensive jokes" are actually horrible Don't speak for others. My personal experience is that women I never had romantic relationships with pretended that I raped them to get influence or money (once as a teen, once as an adult). Talking about this openly 3 friends have told me that similar things have happened to them. But I also won't give you specifics so you'll probably assume that we deserved it.

  > Don't speak for others. This subthread is literally a response to someone speaking on behalf of a friend. And that logic is a little suspect: cancel culture is such a pervasive threat that (1) no one can talk about it happening despite (2) everyone talking about it happening everywhere, pervasively, without evidence. That doesn't seem off to you?
