Yeah. I remember I got heavily downvoted on reddit once when I made an Office reference, which seemed weird to me since reddit usually loves the Office, but then I only slowly realized in context the reference inadvertently seemed really racist which was very much not my intention so I deleted it.

I rarely delete otherwise though.

I accidentally defended a paedophile once, didn't know who the person was, just wanted to make a shitty joke.... deleted that real quick.

Nah someone made a reference to someone in their 40s being too old for the person i "defended", I made a joke about not kink shaming, then someone explained it to me.

I misread it as they liked older people.

Gotta be careful making shitty jokes when you've been drinking all night.
