I'm with Mojo on this. If you can intelligently and tactfully make a joke about a tense subject like rape then you should be able to do so. There is a very fine line though. PewDiePie joking about how he "will rape everything" is bad. An actually talented comedian managing to spin together a good joke that involves rape but isn't designed purely at the expense of the victim is fine, although as with any potentially offensive joke you should be sure to consider the situation you're telling it in.
