celestial-naiad: discourseknight: atepa09: celticpyro: discourseknight: celticpyro: Feminists: Rape jokes aren’t funny. Why do you think rape jokes are funny? Do you think there’s something funny about RAPE? Also feminists: *joke about killing men* *joke about brutalizing and hurting men* *joke about ‘stealing your wife/girlfriend’*

Rape jokes and feminists making jokes are two totally different things and I cannot believe I have to explain this to you, holy fucking shit No no, please explain. I wanna know how joking about committing an act of violence is different from joking about committing an act of violence.

-gets popcorn- this should be good… well @discourseknight ? You going to explain? https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.newstatesman.com/media/2013/09/how-are-rape-jokes-different-murder-jokes-let-me-count-ways%3famp https://m.huffpost.com/us/entry/us_5240592 Tldr murder jokes don’t: Make people statistically more likely to be murdered

Inherently trivialize Actual Murder

Make victims of murder distraught at their trauma being mocked (because they are dead) and are generally more widely accepted because death is a part of life. Rape jokes: Statistically make it more likely for someone to be raped

Make victims feel as though their experience is trivial

Make victims feel alienated by others who find their trauma funny

Contribute to rape culture I’m begging yall to use your last brain cell. Please SGSOYDHDLUD youre REALLY out here trying to say murder isnt as bad as rape huh? Are you a troll? Cus like I can’t believe you’re actually this stupid. As a literal rape victim I carry this trauma with me my whole life. If I were murdered, I wouldn’t. There are crimes worse than murder. Someone can suffer a fate worse than death.

As a literal rape victim, I have the chance and the luxury to move past my trauma. I get the luxury of living my life surrounded by people that love me. I get the luxury of starting my own family and making happiness for myself.

Murder victims don’t get the chance to recover and live happy lives. Theyre fucking DEAD. FOREVER. They don’t get to experience the great things in life that I’m getting to experience.

That aside, both rape and murder are horrible and NOT comparable to each other because they have different effects and outcomes. So fuck off with your dumbass “rape jokes are worse than TALKING ABOUT MURDERING HALF THE HUMAN RACE”
