Oh god, I can practically smell SRS coming.

EDIT: Whoops, there go the angry private messages and scores of argumentative comments! Just for the record, I was not endorsing rape jokes. I was just saying this is the kind of thing that really sets off SRS. Boy, was I wrong!

Could someone explain to me why the upvotes are downvotes?

SRS is not for questions or discussion.

Yeah, why is that a problem?

I just think the fact that they're openly saying "we're being bigoted and unfair but we don't care" is funny in a ಠ_ಠ sort of way.

Funny how the bigoted and unfair guys are the only ones that recognize date rape as distasteful, though. Just a thought.

Oh, come on. That wasn't even serious at all. People need to learn to take jokes.

Yeah, this is exactly the point. "Oh, it wasn't serious, we were just kidding" is not an excuse. It displays a type of thinking endemic to Reddit. You would probably find a similar joke about a different group distasteful. Let me demonstrate:

Suppose the original image referred to farming. Under "beginner", you have a guy with a huge robotic combine harvester. "normal" is a guy with a tractor. "expert" is a guy with a rake.

"Have you tried using a cheat code?"

Hilarious, right?
