I think a lot of people are just bored of it.... Bored of the Reddit and X lot brigading and bullying over the smallest thing.
Are the vast majority really offended by Mickey's ill judged jokes? I am not saying they were kind or appropriate, I wouldn't have made them myself, but are people really hurt by a 72 year old codger's nonsense? Or is it all mostly just performative pearl-clutching and the gleeful chance to dogpile a celebrity and beat them down?
To those genuinely offended by what Mickey said, that's fine, I respect that, they have that right, I understand, but so many are full of ****.
