As to the comment: look at it this way. I can understand some guy at a bar seeing Stephanie and being knocked out by her --- she's stunning, we all know that --- but would your first move be to tell her you want to rape her? Mouth, pussy, it's all the same. Rape is synonymous with force, lack of or no regard for consent, and violence. So what this guy is saying is "You're so beautiful I want to violently assault your mouth?" If he wanted to make the point, why not say "I want to make love to your mouth" or even "I want to **** your mouth"? Why use the word rape? Implies he's gonna do what he wants to whether she wants him to or not. Whether it's a "joke" or not is beside the point: he has this obvious belief that he can do what he likes.

I still haven't seen anyone accept the fact that they're defending a rape joke/ comment with someone here who has been directly affected by in in the thread. So why are you not insensitive? You've been told, you must have heard, yet you're still defending your stance and not once has anyone said "I didn't mean to offend" that I can see, or even, and I guess I have to include myself here, drop the damn subject in deference to her pain.

Which I will now do.
But you're still all insensitive jerks if you can't see the truth of what I'm saying.


Oh, and CB, why are you quoting yourself and then adding a question mark?

Not really. Rape is reality. Jokes turn reality into something else. That's why they're funny. Because they skew reality. If they didn't they'd just be stating facts.

I see nothing wrong with making a rape joke. I'd never tell one around Vanilla for obvious reasons. I'd try not to tell them around women or people I didn't know because of the possibility of hurting them (though not because of offending them necessarily). But if I'm around people I know and have a good handle on their humor then I don't see the harm since nobody is being hurt. Telling a rape joke doesn't incite me to rape and it doesn't make me think any less of the trauma of someone who has been raped, so as far as I can see no harm is being caused and no harm no foul.

Lets have a test here:



Do you think that would go over well to someone like Ki? Or to someone who has been effected by a fatal shooting?

Or are we just concentrating on rape?
