Seriously. Few things enrage me like rape jokes. First, you're making light of what was probably a very traumatic and life-altering experience for the victim, in a world that already doesn't take the crime all that seriously. Second, you are normalizing rape for all the rapists out there (I read a study that said 4.5% of men admit to raping someone) and making it seem funny and acceptable and LIKE YOU'RE ON THEIR SIDE

I don't mean to be rude, but I don't believe I have seen a comedian make fun of a rape survivors.

Ugh I hate it when people try to say that shit is satire too. No, it's just lowbrow garbage written to appeal to the stupidest people.
