Power to her and all the ppl that can watch it (and not to make fun or get off on the subject). I don't think I could personally watch it, but I think what she's trying to do is brave.

Awesome! I will check this out, thanks for posting. I'm a rape survivor and former comedian and personally, I think well done rape jokes are the funniest of all (because they're cathartic) (but obviously there's more terrible "rape jokes" than good ones).

tbh i think this kind of thing is the best example of the "there is nothing off limits in comedy" rule, so many people especially white cishet men interpret that as an opportunity to release their bigotry under the guise of irony and comedy and take offense when people push back. but if you're punching up and pointing to the system rather than its victims, i think there's room to be funny, especially if you're speaking from a place of honesty and personal experience



i think it's alright for victims to laugh and invite us to laugh with them if something is approached with empathy and tenderness

Very much this. And that's exactly what she does, imo.

This is just a rambling comment, but Yes! I remember a couple years ago there was that big rape joke blowup (and really, any time when a comedian gets pushback against something they think is ~edgy) where they're like "but anything can be funny!" That is true, but it takes a lot of consideration and understanding that a lot of edgelords don't have, so it's easier to boil it down to "no you can't joke about that."

Pretty sure you're talking about Donald Glover. Everyone seems to have forgotten he was regularly joking about rape and getting defensive when called out about it.

watched it. she spends more time on the values of women in a patriarchy,, Catholicism, and blowing out her knees than assault but the jokes she did make are on par for what's commented here/by your friends. it wasnt an hour dedicated to it thankfully.



the last 15 mins were the darkest of it

I met Cameron for like 2 seconds when she was on the come-up in Chicago and she was tiny and shy, lol. So this is all so cool! And not a surprise because her standup was hilarious.

I liked her podcast episode with Gaby Dunn. She's really well-spoken. Still gotta listen to her ep with Bryan Safi.

I liked the Bryan Safi one a lot. He talks about his experiences with his parents and it's heartbreaking. I am listening to Gaby's episode right now
