    I’m torn on this. On the one hand, I agree with the satement of “don’t do anythig you wouldn’t want to be on the receiving end of”. On the other hand, it’s phrased as a joke that has the punchline of “haha, prison rape”.

      No it isn’t. At no point is rape the punchline here or even mentioned. You are making a leap on your own accord and then blaming the comedian for your personal thoughts.

      The joke comes from the situation where white men typically live in a world where people do not have power over them. In prison, that changes. The joke is not “haha rape”. The joke is “The tension you are causing women constantly with your harassment you could compare to the tension in a prison where you are at the bottom of the totem pole.”

      You are the one who decided to take it that extra step, add rape and then blame the comedian. You’d have to actively make an argument to try and convince someone that the punchline is rape which, just in doing it, simply strengthens the point that it isn’t.

        What? This is obviously a prison rape joke. I’m not sure why you’re making such mental gymnastics. It’s OK to laugh about terrible things sometimes too.

          Well I literally just explained how it isn’t. If you want to call basic math “mental gymnastics” by all means.

      Can we never joke about sensitive topics?

      Isn’t humor like, our primary coping mechanism for dealing with dark topics?

        There’s a difference between joking about your own traumas and joking about other people’s

        If you need to joke about sensitive topics to get a reaction, consider the idea that you aren’t actually funny
