I do think though that there is a natural pushback against the weaponisation of being offended and the use of fake offence being used as a social currency in order to elevate one group above another. maybe that's what you are seeing.

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 ****.
