He made this joke in a panel in 2011 and now it's been dug up just in front of his role as Aquaman in Justice League. Twitter users are calling it "horrifying."

But as far as sci-fi and fantasy, I love that genre because there are so many things you can do, like rip someones tongue out of their throat and get away with it and rape beautiful women,

Yikes. I figured this was going to be a case of him joking about how he gets to work with beautiful women but his character is raping them. If that were the case it'd just be a bad joke. That really does sound pretty bad >_>

It's almost like showing a rape scene is somehow different than saying you like fantasy settings because you "can rape beautiful women"

I agree this is pretty lame to dig up and act outraged about, but you can't deny his words were poorly spoken.

I know it's different, I just find it funny. Like how Tarantino wrote the n word into his script 100 times for his character in Pulp Fiction. People can get away with funny stuff in the name of creativity

Would "I like fantasy settings because I can kill ahole people" be outraged against?

It's always sexual stuff that people get upset over.

You know, if only sjws are trying to ruin people who say things they don't like, and they are a minority, can't we work against that? Make Mamoa is awesome tweets. Email his employees and say please keep him.

Again, would there be outrage if someone posted they enjoy GTA because they can kill people?

No.

People are air heads and won't care about this in at all in 2018.

Multiple instances of sexual assault did nothing to hurt Arnold Schwarzenegger's career. NFL ratings didn't even take a dip in hits following literally knocking out a girlfriend. No one gives a shit about Mike Tyson in The Hangover.

You can go on and on. If you're an attractive musician, actor, or athlete, nothing is going to hurt your career short of pedophile crap or an actual criminal conviction.

Yes it is.

It falls under sex crimes/sexual assault, etc. It's forcing sex on someone against their will. It absolutely falls under the broader category of "sexual stuff".

Nah. They're both "okay" things to say, Jason just used really strong language.

The very famous Conan line "What is best in life?" is literally what Jason said but paraphrased.

I don't have a problem with the joke, but not really the same thing. One is a line by a fictional character in a movie. The other is a real actor saying what he likes about acting in dark fantasy movies. Different context.

Well there's a reason a GTA game will never add rape as a gameplay mechanic...

Society is pretty desensitized to violence. So using that as an escapist fantasy is generally seen as okay. Rape not so much...

I see your point.

I still think the public reaction is a little disproportionate.
