Uncle Joe is still the greatest VP in history.

Despite being out of office for months, former Vice President Biden is still championing causes he believes in -- case in point, he just tweeted out a powerful PSA about normalizing rape culture.

The premise of the campaign brilliantly connects to millennial’s everyday lives – the entire video is based on Autocorrect texting, changing words from what somebody literally types into what they probably mean. In this case, it's not typos that are being corrected, but rather the casual verbiage a bro might use to gloss over rape.

“Remember that drunk chick I was talking to at the party?” is changed to “targeting.” “encourage” switches to “force,” “into it” into “worried,” and “running her mouth” to “asking if she’s OK.”

Joe captioned the video with, “The correct word for sex without consent is rape. Period. #ItsOnUs to know the signs and to stop it.”

The ‘It’s On Us’ campaign dates back to Biden and Obama’s time in office and focuses on sexual abuse, especially on college campuses. Biden recently gave a particularly stirring speech about the Stanford rape case, where a boy did no jail time for taking advantage of a passed out female outside of a frat house.

The Autocorrect advertisement is the brainchild of the marketing company Mekanism. The video signals the start of It’s On Us’ Week of Action, which is sponsoring over 300 events to raise awareness about rape culture.
