I find it telling that when someone commits assault or rape with clear intent and malice everyone’s up in arms sometimes to a performative degree but as soon as the lines get blurred at all even so many on the left are nowhere to be seen. As soon as rape culture shows up in a way that isn’t with explicit ill intent it becomes passable and at worst just “yeah they/it has some problems but it’s not that big a deal”

because it’s not convenient to put your foot down on rape culture any more when the lines get even a little blurred
