When did I ever claim to represent all rape victims? You put your foot in your mouth and assumed that it's never happened to me or anyone I know. Nothing more, nothing less. I'll repeat what I said before and say I didn't find the humor very funny or tasteful, and I don't expect others to find dark humor to be tasteful either. Ever. However, I think it's out of line to make personal judgments about someone because of a distasteful joke.
Jokes don't equate to taking the subject lightly. I've made distasteful jokes about rape, tragedy, death and racism myself, and I don't consider them any less of an issue. It's also extremely hypocritical to say that making fun of God is funny, but the others (especially things like homophobia) aren't. I'm an atheist myself, but people are entitled to their beliefs just as much as a gay person has the right to be gay.
