I don't know.

It was a shitty joke and he shouldn't have made it. It was a crappy joke, it was a joke that promotes shitty things, and there's no getting around that.

On the other hand, people seem to go too far in the reaction - making the joke does not mean that he is, on the whole, an irredeemably awful person who we should never listen to or watch, whose movies we can never watch again, and who we should spend all of our time yelling at until he's really sorry. It's fine if someone doesn't want to watch him anymore, but it doesn't make it a moral imperative that no one watch him anymore. It certainly doesn't make him literally equivalent to a rapist himself. It was a wrong, awful joke with horrible implications but I think a lot of the response to people criticizing him for it has come from the way that a subset of those people seem to really go somewhere extreme with their response.

Now, I don't know how much of that stuff is trolling. And it's obviously kind of screwed up that so much of the discussion is reaction to dumb stuff that happened previously, and not just talking about the actual joke. But that's discussion on the Internet for you.

...it doesn't make it a moral imperative that no one watch him anymore. It certainly doesn't make him literally equivalent to a rapist himself.

The SJWs disagree, this is exactly what they want, and what they think. This is exactly why the lynch mob mentality of the SJW hive mind is so very very frightening in its implications. Not to mention its effects: Look at the death of the innocent guy they fingered for the Boston marathon bombing, for instance. Or the fact that they sent death threats to a total stranger who had the same name as the Newtown shooter (but he wasn't). Or all the people who have been fired for saying stupid things on their social media accounts on their own time. It's only getting worse and worse and the whole MF debacle is just one more symptom of a much larger disease.
