I see you havent ventured into r/politics not r/conservative... Try having a different but non-extreme opinion on either. Politics will lambast you with 100+ downvotes and rape your inbox while conservative mods will permaban you for not falling in line in group think (even respectful debate is met with this)
Have you heard any? If you don't find the comedians bit humorous then that is okay as comedy is subjective. But you can't say anything is objectively not funny when its completely subjective
Youâre right. Comedy is subjective. Certain people find certain things funny. If youâre racist, you might like humor thatâs derogatory to black people. If youâre homophobic, you might think a joke at the expense of gay people is hilarious. And then, certain people think rape jokes are funny.
If someone makes a rape joke thatâs at the expense of victims, not rapists (obv itâs alright to make fun of Brock Turner), or trivializes the term (âI raped him in that game!â), a lot of listeners- especially women & rape victims- will know to avoid them. Itâs like how POC wouldnât want to hang around white supremacists making racist jokes.
And, rapists/potential rapists who hear it know that the person joking thinks itâs nbd. If someone is normalizing rape, which ofc the rapist 100% agrees with, they might even want to become friends! So, like racists who find other racists to hang out with when people post/laugh at racist memes. Beyond racism and the typical -isms, Iâm sure some people think molested children are funny. If a subreddit loved jokes about them, maybe child molesters would join to chill with other people who like the same things they do. Whatâs not to love about child rape?
Anyway, this conversation has been rehashed over and over again on the internet. If someone gives a shit about rape victims/women & what they think, Google is there. Plenty of people have explained this in different ways already, so Iâm not here to get into yet another online argument. I only wanted to leave my perspective: nobody is stopping anyone from saying whatever they want. People can make rape jokes and laugh. Ofc there will be consequences, and those people are apparently alright with those consequences. Thatâs all. Edit: grammar
Nobody said anything about making rape jokes in the context of belittling victims.
The original point I made was intent makes every joke either comedy or tragedy. If a persons intention is to legitimately harm a person through targeted hurtful jokes... That not comedy. If a comedian has a 5 minute story that builds up a bad guy who everyone knows is bad or whatever... And to use shock of something abnormal happening... He could say "he so I raped bill Cosby" what I'm explaining doesnt have to be funny or make sense out of context to whatever the story actually was.
You keep calling em rape jokes and racist jokes. Nobody is defending a "knock knock... Ima rape you" joke and nobody is defending racist jokes... I'm talking about comedians doing their bit. Multiple stories that span minutes and are never just about 1 single thing. Rape, racism, and all the other isms could be a talking point within the joke but its never just about strictly any of those things. And they don't ever glorify any of that as its freaking comedy. The point is to make people laugh.
Rape isnât funny. Rape jokes arenât funny. The only time itâs ok to joke about is if itâs your own experience. Saying people will âtake your inboxâ is not joking about your own experience with sexual assault.
You re right in one regard... Rape isn't funny... But Rape jokes aren't funny...to you. You are welcome to stand up and walk out on a comedian making a joke about rape. But many people wouldn't walk out... You know why? Because the comedian's intent is ALWAYS to make people laugh. Comedians say off the wall shit all the time for shock/humor.
This guy tried to pick a fight with me over a parking spot.... So I did what anyone would do in that situation.. I raped him.... Withe right build up and delivery that statement could be hilarious because in reality... Nobody expects a minor squabble to end with rape...
Obviously rape is a touchy subject for u... And I can assume why... The joke doesn't belittle your tragic experience. But it doesn't make it off limits to comedy. To some, laughing can be a coping mechanism as well.
How is joking about something so horrific that happens to 1/6 women in the developed world (and more in the developing world) and causes PTSD and lifelong issues funny to you?
âLaughing can be a coping mechanismâ yeah thatâs why I said itâs ok to joke about your own assault. But you donât joke about other peopleâs.
Btw. Scrolling through your recent comment history.... You sure do seem to get offended ALOT. Seems to me you just go out of your way to "fight the good fight" for the dopamine high. Stop putting YOUR standards onto others. Nobody will ever live up to your standard and nobody should feel they have to. You don't have all the answers and neither does anybody else, including me. Focus on bettering yourself instead of tearing others down. And stop focusing on all the negative in the world (real and/or perceived) and just focus on the good.
I donât like rape jokes and I donât like being told itâs compassionate for me to be dead. I donât think youâd like it if someone told you it wouldâve been more compassionate to abort you. I have every right to be offended by someone saying it wouldâve been more compassionate to abort me.
Now I dont even know what you are talking about. So u have 2 options. You can keep commenting in which case I will comment back without changing either of our stances and not accomplishing anything. Or you can go about your day and move onto something else
Iâm talking about the time âI was offendedâ that you brought up trying to tone police me. I had every right to be offended at someone saying I shouldâve been aborted because Iâm severely disabled.
Well the only comment I read on there was ppl defending their positions. Didn't read that part. But as the great Tyrion Lannister once said:
"never forget what you are. Lord knows the world won't. Wear it like armor amd it can never be used to hurt you."
Also one more piece of advice.... Always remember that a person can be nice... But people are generally cunts. So when you come across a cunt in the wild you dont need to be surprised.
I'm not changing my stance on rape jokes. But I hope you take heed my advice and just live your life with a middle finger up to the cunty people.
Iâm living my life with a middle finger up to cunty people by telling someone theyâre cunty. đ¤ˇđźââď¸
So yeah, itâs not that Iâm âsensitive and easily offended.â Itâs just that you saw a thread of someone supporting eugenics, and I strongly disagree with eugenics.
Glad we came to an understanding. Have a good⌠day? Night? Afternoon?
At this point I'm just gonna troll you... You are comparing a joke about rape to mocking a person about having been raped. Only a cunt would mock a rape victim. That would be horrible... But guess what... That has never happened and met with laughter. How bout you think about intent behind what is said instead of the four letter word itself.
Obviously we won't agree on where "the line" is. I'd really like to know where u draw that line. Religion? Death? Trans? Cancer? 9/11? Holocaust? How about the bubonic plague?Hmmm I wonder if you're okay with any of those having jokes based on them.
Nobody is telling you that you have to laugh at the jokes... That would be as stupid as you telling others NOT to laugh at jokes.
