If he really condones rape, that's a different issue, but can we not make comedy revolving around death, tragedy, illness or traumatic experiences? I personally didn't find it funny, but not because of how serious the content is, but because it wasn't very witty.
That's all just my opinion, though.

This is my opinion too. I personally didn't find it particularly clever or funny, but I won't have a double standard of turning my nose up at a rape joke when I certainly don't at jokes about murder, suicide, deaths in the family, domestic abuse, racism, genocide, God, 9/11, the holocaust, Joseph Kony or any celebrity that's ever died.
Do I find many of the above jokes tasteless? Sure. But if something makes me laugh then it makes me laugh, and I'm not going to stifle because the reality of these events were/are tragities. I don't confuse reality with humor. Great humor is the exaggeration of reality, not the advocation of a particular ideal.
You're free to find Duce's comment distasful and unfunny, I did. That doesn't mean he's some kind of subhuman monster that should make you sick.
