@QueenSkull I really agree with the second part of your comment, I've always felt stupid about people getting mad about correct representation of "taboo" topics where it happened.
@andyshiny A joke doesn't have to be tasteful, and not only trivial things can be joked about, that feels very naive of you. And for the second time, they arent both the same; talking about rape as a joke is saying that it doesnt Mather at its core, that rape in itself is a joke, and saying a joke about rape doesnt discredit rape graveness at all. Being fictional or not kind of mathers but also doesnt, depending on the point of view... I'm not sure, and I'm certain that my opinion on that can change in the future.
A joke can serve many purposes, make someone laugh, show a reality, exaggerate, point out a possibility, bully someone, etc. The same as any tool, as good as the purpose of who's using it.
I remember a comedian talking about how he was thrown out of a stand up when he told a joke about a black gay man, a joke told to him by that same man, it was a joke about how sexuality really wasn't a choice, and kind of funny too. But he was thrown out because the organizers found it tasteless, why? It was just a depiction of a seen reality, it wasn't offensive in any way, but some found that it was a topic that couldnt be touched, completely disregarding the possibility of that reality being something normal, as if by hiding it it would dissapear.....
You are kind of right about the internet not being the best place to tell a joke, as there are lots of people who get easily offended about realitys they don't like, but it is the same for them, the internet is full of thing they won't probably like, and there's probably someone who will undoubtedly get mad noMather what I say, as there are enought people for that to happen, so you may find it tasteless, that's alright, it's your opinion, and I respect that. Maybe i should have put some kind of warning, apparently the spoiler box wasn't enought. What would you have recommended?
If you really don't like it or don't agree with what I say, I suggest reporting the original comment, as that's your right as an user, if it gets moderated, well then, good for you.
