Burden of proof and justification for rape accusations

This whole thing started with this comment:

The target of the video in question. Someone making the excuse that they are making jokes when they are saying shitty things about others doesn’t cut it.

And the article that @WHY_NOT posted in response seems pretty damning.

So, once again, making shitty jokes at the expense of others doesn’t excuse being shitty. Full stop.

Then don’t. Do you think he cares, as long as he’s getting paid?

In nearly every place on this stupid planet… even the most “enlightened” ones don’t quite get it right. Some places are much better than others, but these retrograde attitudes impact every single woman (and all men, too, for that matter) on this planet. I’m really getting tired of being gaslit over this kind of stuff. I know my experiences and the experiences of every other woman I know are valid and we’re sick of being told that the comfort of men matter more.
