Just noticed this on my feed and I'll admit, I smirked at the joke.. but now this **** is going off. I'm sure I hate rape even more than the next guy... but I can't honestly say that I get worked up when someone makes a stupid joke about it. I mean making a joke about someone who was raped? Terrible, and I don't support it in any way. Making a hypothetical joke about a rape involving nobody? I don't see why people get so worked up...

For the record, I only know the Rehanna chick.. if these were my friends I probably would have told Bill to shut up shortly after taking the screenshot.

The joke wasn't funny.

It wasn't offensive in any sense, either, mind you. It just wasn't funny.

Everything can be funny. That joke wasn't really, but not because of the subject matter.

Because I was trying to protect their identities at first, and then I realized that I didn't actually care because I don't know any of them... so I just went ahead and posted the link. I mean I was trying to block them all out, but I definitely noticed that before I made the topic. Dude who liked it has his whole name in there too.

Oooh, and it seems I missed the context of the joke. The Elle chick posted this with the link.

That the thing that probably annoys me the most. When people say something "isn't funny". It's such a weird thing to say. Do they realize that "funny" is an opinion? It's not funny to you, okay, who cares? It's funny to some people, and if it has shock value, like a rape joke, then your adverse reaction to the joke is funny as well.

Yeah, because saying that a joke isn't funny "in FACT, it's offensive, in my OPINION," makes total sense

Alright, I like this guy.

If anyone cares, the girls pretty much got shut down after a couple dudes basically explained what foolmo said. The link was her last post, now they're going on about prison rape or something.

It's pretty clear you're sexist and/or have a horrible sense of humor.

If you want to hear some good rape jokes, watch It's Always Sunny. Those guys know how to tastefully deliver good rape jokes.

Anything can be funny if told in the right manner. It's just black comedy. It's not like you feel a real life issue isn't serious just because you could make a joke about it. I mean, how many jokes involve people dying, for instance? Quite a lot.

That said, the joke in question wasn't funny, and it's easy to see how saying something like that can be construed as offensive. It's not like he had anything particularly funny or witty to say, it just made him look like a douche making a rape joke for the sake of making a rape joke. So yeah, it's okay if you're actually funny, I guess.

I would have been extremely disappointed if someone hadn't posted this

I was still partly serious though, people, especially women, just enjoy acting outraged. that's why rape is considered a more offensive thing to joke about than death

Guys getting raped is much easier grounds for comedy than women getting raped.

Is this really any surprise?

Women and the beta males that they've indoctrinated think that other men have no self control and are the most dangerous thing on the planet. It's silly.

further proves my point. it's always going to cause outrage if you joke about a woman getting raped, but guys getting raped in prison already is joked about frequently and no one gets upset.
