I’m vehemently against many working definitions of “apologist” and can I just say it cuts down my good opportunities for display names, like a bastard

Like, as an example, feminist activism uses the term "apologist" so often in connection with the term "rape" that "rape apologist" might as well be one word And it doesn't usually mean someone who is explicitly verbally saying "I think sexual assault is okay"
-
It means someone whose professed values, like most respectable people's, say that rape is awful but either foolishly or deceptively refuses to recognize that they're defending a rapist even when we can all see that's what they're doing
