rape jokes

[JurisDictum]

Well I'm relieved she doesn't want anyone arrested. I guess in this case were talking about a soft form of censorship; Where people try to go around the law and kill someones career. Ether way its bullshit. Someone may get emotional hurt periodically, that's the price of a society with free speech.
Media does affect the way people behave in mass. But there is no strong evidence I've seen that there is some direct causation between rape jokes and rape specifically. Rather, its just a piece of the "rape culture" doctrine that the modern feminist movement is married to. I got to say, out of all the sexist media (like rap videos, mainstream religious programing, and porn), comedy is way down on the list, yet always the first to come up. Rape jokes may be a symptom of a culture that doesn't take rape seriously enough. To convince me otherwise, provide some actual strong evidence to justify the claim that it belittles societies attitude of rape on a vast scale.
If you don't like what Glen Beck says, turn it off. That's sure as hell what I did. Once I figured out he was basically trolling for money. At least comedians are joking and everyone knows it.

Links between a comedian making a joke and then an audience member going out and raping someone isn't what was being proposed. I think the strongest argument is where the woman who is considering reporting a rape sees n audience full of people laughing at how funny rape is and decides not to. That actually is a problem.

But the kids that raped that chick on camera the other month sure thought that shit was funny for some reason.

I kinda stopped paying attention to that story once I found out the girl drank herself retarded before it happened, sorry they created that situation themselves and get as much pity from me as someone who drinks and decides to drive.

Last I checked they simply took pictures/video of her undressed/exposed and posted them online. Did they determine an actual rape took place or am I thinking of a different case entirely?

Funny is subjective. No joke is objectively funny. That being said, this thread is objectively and unequivocally dumb. Arguing for or against a subjective concept is about as productive as your average hbb thread.

I find rape/racist/any offensive jokes to be among the funniest jokes. Nothing is sacred, if you think something is, fuck you and fuck it too.

GG!

Hispanic;male;I've never had any homosexual urges.

The position I hold is that 'funny' is subjective, if you have any sort of counter-argument to that notion I'd love to hear it.

What is it with Americans and automatically jumping from "They were liable and get no pity from me" to "It was their fault, no wrongdoing occurred"?

Nonwhite hispanic? 2/3 ain't bad for a guess.
