Don't change the subject. I don't care whether he was being genuine or not. Like I said before, he was probably just gloating. But you're inferring what you want from the quote so you can be insulted. You're just looking for a reason, and this one is a stretch.
SJW 101.

If you don't care whether he was being genuine why are you here? To argue for its own sake? What would be the meaning of the tweet, if he was just gloating?
Smedley and I are both American. This might not be the case in your country but to say to a criminal that you hope for their cellmate to like them has one and only one meaning - anal sex, likely forceable.

No, I am not. I am saying that people tend to say things in anger that are not reality.
And what about the other part that you're glossing over or ignoring?
If I were to say to you: "I hope you like your new dorm roommate," would I be endorsing rape? No, but I am speaking to you in a condescending manner as you are now trapped involuntarily in a less-than-ideal situation (no privacy in a dorm room).
If I say to you: "I hope you like your new microwave," am I stating "All you're going to eat are hotpockets?" No, I am not. I am insulting you in that I believe anything that comes from a microwave is inedible, but I am not stating there is a single outcome (hotpockets).
Had the man come out and said "I hope you get raped in prison," it would be one thing. But you're reading FAR too much into this, especially considering the prison the person Smedley was talking to is in a country with a VASTLY different system of incarceration than found in the United States.
I would very much like one of our Scandinavian friends who play '99 to explain to you that the prison rape thing is not an issue in their countries*.
Rape is bad. Smedley was pissed. Smedley did not say I hope you get raped.

Dorm rooms and microwaves are not prison cells. Neither has a reputation for rape. American prisons do. Do you know what a euphemism is?
Scandinavian prisons are irrelevant unless you assume Smedley has prior knowledge of their penal system vs ours.
