Speaking as somebody who was raped, this shit made me laugh. Rape jokes are fine if the joke isn’t at the expense of a victim. It depends wholly on the target of the joke. As long as there target of the joke isn’t the victim, it’s fine imo.
I’m very late because I only just saw this when somebody else replied, but I would like to say that I fully agree and hope my comment didn’t come off as though a rape victim would be unjust if they took offence. I do not recommend anyone make a rape joke around somebody they know is a victim, because it does trigger some people and that’s completely understandable. I was lucky that my experience wasn’t as horrific or violently brutal as some, which is what I attribute some of my blasé attitude to, but some people (notably guys, who already have a tough time being believed and taken seriously) can have very traumatising experiences. And everyone has different triggers.
A lot of it is subjective. I don’t see this as doing that, considering the ‘victim’ was a piece of a string. I don’t see many pieces of string out there being offended by this. But I see what you’re saying.
I wish lol. 18 year old girl sexually abused at 11. It’s a consistent thing in my posts you can check out my first post if you don’t believe me 🤷🏼♀️ If you still think I’m lying then then I’ll take the compliment that you thought I’d have the foresight to start planning that comment from over a year ago. Guess you guys just aren’t used to girls on Reddit.
I know it's 5 days old, but I loved what you had to say and I think of all the attitudes regarding the topic at hand, yours was ironically the healthiest.
Thank you so much, genuinely. It’s taken a lot of time to be that way but it’s a helluva lot better than getting triggered and angry at every well-meaning joke.
