So the Reddit PC police think I deserve scorn for thinking rape jokes can be funny. I'm a rape victim.

Not to mention they are trying to call out MR because of one opinion. I for one don't find rape jokes funny, but I also don't fucking care if someone else finds them funny. People will be offended about anything and everything. Many people get offended at the most minor crap I have ever seen, and that has made me realise, you just can't care about who gets offended over what anymore.

I don't think anyone's trying to discredit your rape.

I think that they're saying that in general, rape jokes are not PC.

Kind of like the post last week or so that said "I'm black and I still think it's funny."

It didn't really matter that he's black (even though he wasn't), it's still a racist joke that some people might not like.

Also... It's ShitRedditSays... the entire goal of that sub is to piss people off. It's a circle jerk about oppression.

Political correctness is an insidious form of censorship.

Also, it's brave of you to share your story. Thank you

God, I have never hated SRS more. They are long overdue for a fucking smackdown.

I was raped when I was 5... I'm a man...My rapist was a female.

Oh, so it wasn't rape. Only women can be raped. Only men can be rapists. Because...ummmm... Patriarchy... and stuff.

Oh, wait, no I've got it! Rape isn't just non-consensual sex. It's non-consensual sex plus privilege! Therefore you weren't raped, because that babysitter was a woman, and therefore not privileged, and you, as a five-year-old boy, had male privilege.

There, that's ~~a good excuse~~ the real reason.

SRS are the worlds worst police force that no one asked for a NO ONE wants.

George Carlin - Rape Can Be Funny

Even if he is a troll, or this is fake (I'm not saying it is), if this were a completely hypothetical situation his point would be equally valid and should be discussed as such.

Links to SRS or things that SRS have done are not valid submissions on r/MR. I feel bad that I didn't get to this one sooner, but it still stands.
