Joking about rape is fine. Conducting rape should not be tolerated.
Living in a society where everyone is different can pose huge problems. Your average person is completely different from the average person next to them due to different experiences and perceptions on life and reality mostly thanks to social media.
We have the poor growing up with their broke families and when one is raised in such an environment the experiences and perceptions will be a whole lot different than someone who grows up in the opposite circumstances. Holding up convenience stores is now considered a family trade as the father teaches his son this is the only way they can make money and feed themselves trying to provide happiness to one another.
Their perceptions on good versus evil will now forever be different from yours. They consider the rich evil for not helping those that are weak and innocent. The rich will let that poor family starve and think nothing of it. Wealthy families have a warped perception of good and evil as well, considering a broke family trying to feed themselves and pursue happiness by holding up that convenience store are nothing but pure evil to them. According to the broke, the rich are nothing short of pure evil.
One day that rich and innocent beautiful 19 year old woman gets out of her 70,000 dollar vehicle wearing her tight pants and revealing shirt gets noticed by a poor, broke, and spirit ridden member of that impoverished family. What is simply noticed by the poor is the fact that not caring about anyone but yourself is the road to riches. If wealth is recognized as evil then what is going to stop the desperate from taking action.
As most of us live in society we realize that everything is insured to the fullest by the rich communities and the insurance companies, so losing it doesn't necessarily effect the greater picture as her expensive vehicle is stolen from her by force. Perhaps she is held hostage for no other reason than being 'evil' and needing to be punished by the desperate who can't get a break.
One doesn't have to take a life in order to send a message to the rest of the wealthy community that doesn't seem to care about those that are 'beneath' them. Perhaps the choice is to rape and pillage while continuing to live and let live by not brutally beating that beautiful innocent rich girl or slaying. While the rape is a horrible disaster and tragedy to society, it was simply nothing more than those that are desperate with their perceptions of good versus evil fighting the good fight. In a sense it sends a strong message to what is clearly wrong with our society as some think each society can be judged based on the type of criminals in their prisons.
It might not be the good fight to you or to me but it is to them. At least she will live and continue to reap the riches she was born into and continue to neglect the weak and innocent that she could clearly help for she will live on long after said rape. While that particular family might not ever see the big picture, perhaps according to the rapist it should have sent a strong message to the rest of the community, at least in the impoverished mind.
This type of example would just be one of many. There are people of course who are not impoverished and simply have a mental instability that brings them to conduct such rape acts which inevitably evolves into something more disastrous like murder. Such people seem to be a lot more rare. Violence stems from the desperate trying to take what they want since working for it gets them no where. Unless you are born into a family that provides you vehicular transport and pays for your education, the chances of success are extremely thin even when you factor in such things as financial aid.
Without that success and surplus of money your average person isn't going to land a girlfriend to fulfill their erotic desires. Looks will get you laid and money will get you a girlfriend. Deprived of looks and of money leaves you with very little choice in the matter if you so do choose to take what you desire regardless of human decency.
Philosophers will argue whether not good and evil truly do exist. In theory it makes perfect sense as most are educated into understanding that nothing can exist without its opposite. With the amount of variety religion seems to take forms of it's not too hard to believe the wayward perceptions that people can grow into.
That is what is so unique about human life. Just like the variety and randomness of facial features, voices, writing style, finger prints, flow of thought is going to be just as much of variety and random as everything else. Although random doesn't seem to be the right word as science is explaining that genetics make up for most. People do have a tendency to be random though that's for sure.
Drugs can play a huge role in this type of situation. But the fact of the matter is that most resort to drugs to escape their pathetic reality for whatever reason that may. While the rich and wealthy have their fair share in drug usage one could argue that those particular individuals aren't resorting to violence at every turn of a withdraw or bad deal. The wealthy take peace in the fact that they'll be just fine without it as they are supported by the large sum of money in their parents banks. No such peace for the impoverished. They'll kill you over 10 dollars and they have good reason.
In regards to joking about rape, ths is something completely different in every way. Humor is where the brain goes to tickle itself. Just like the many sexual erotic desires of human nature their humor plays the same role of variety in the world of consciousness. When it comes down to jokes and humor there are no boundaries nor should there be. Putting boundaries on anything prevents the potential for greatness. Evil has no boundaries so why should good.
In a world where evil seems to be winning good cannot afford to pull its punches. People generally believe in the energies of good and evil and will conclude that good energy will overcome evil energy at every level. If this is true, placing boundaries on good is a huge mistake. Good must ignore the law, the government, even popular demand and simply only do what is right. Boundaries of such things will only leave the door open to evil to triumph for, once again, evil has no boundaries.
Now joking about humor can be considered an evil energy to some. It would be easy to conduct such a debate. However, one could suggest that laughter cannot in any way be evil. Now that can easily bring us to a paradox as those that conduct rapes will laugh about it amongst their evil rapist friends. To the brain, laughter is good. Humor, no matter where you find it, has been proven to provide great benefits to the human brain and body. And this is where I personally get confused because it's hard to give an example of humor in the animal kingdom.
No, hyenas are not laughing in the same sense that humans conduct humor. I've never heard of animals raping each other. Seems, according to the nature channels one ganders at, that if the female says no and strikes with force, then it is simply not going to happen. You won't see the male lion beat the shit out of the lioness until she succumbs and then take turns with the rest of the brethren.
Joking about rape is fine. It's a paradox. Humor is where the brain goes to tickle itself.
