working theory is that that specific movie altered the Master Narrative because it was based on a true story and every woman who has taught college in the ensuing decades has seen it. They are largely unable to separate the rarity of the event from reality and legitimately believe that random groups of white males are committing that level of crime on a daily basis. Nothing will back them off from this created reality.

The "justice" angle wants anyone tangentially around it to be punished. So when you have a sports team or frat house involved the lizard brains in these people go absolutely bonkers and their bloodlust is so strong that they will disregard any exculpatory evidence no matter how strong. These are people whose default is to always side with the accused, but like Lincoln Hawk turning his hat backwards before a big arm wrestling match, if you throw in a frat house or athlete involvement, it's like flipping a switch.

This is the power of mass media in the old age where a handful of media companies held an iron grip on the Master Narrative. That single movie has created an undeniable reality for every woman in power over 30 years old. Your old self had been so brow beaten by that fact that you were never gonna go on record surrounded by the rabid leftists who now occupy the other board.
