I mean, he's making a joke about a freshly outed, alleged rapist. Do you really not see that as a sensitive topic?
Maybe its a generational thing, but no. It's a joke. We all make jokes. It wasn't even terribly offensive because it was at Weinsteins expense.
Some people just love to be offended.

If it was your daughter, sister, or mother, then you wouldn't find it funny or think that it's "just a joke." This is what hypocrisy looks like. There are formats where you can get away with this sort of thing, while it would still with good reason be controversial. Something like Sunday Night Football is not that. I don't really care, but you have to be pretty thick to not see that this would get a negative reaction. And this is definitely not a generational thing. People would have been more sensitive to this kind of crass joke 50 years ago.

I'm with you on this one. I don't consider it offensive or inappropriate.
