It’s not the “defending their friend” thing people are upset with, I think you know that. Using reductionism to try and make people you disagree with look like they’re sticks in the mud “for just defending their friend!” instead just makes you look deranged for apparently glossing over or completely not caring about the “leniency for rapists” bit.
People defending their friends are now “creepy.” The internet has ruined people’s brains.
When your friend is a rapist, yeah that’s fucking creepy, and it’s creepy you don’t think so.
If I found out tomorrow that my best friend was a rapist, not only would I be speaking out against him, he’d no longer be my friend.
What if you believed your friend?

Bro they wrote character letters for a sentencing.
That’s literally why people are mad.
Yes, they said good things about a rapist’s character so now their character is in question
