MaddhouseKB replied to Wire-teeth's discussion That-One-Rape-Joke in AVPS"I hate to say it, but rape can be funny. Around where I live, rape jokes are tossed around like hot potatoes. On one hand, I strongly disapprove, as I do of saying Retard (of which I'm a repeat offender and Gay (but not on this one) out of…"
Emily Ioppolo replied to Wire-teeth's discussion That-One-Rape-Joke in AVPS"In the words of the great Bob Newhart:
"Laughter gives us distance. It allows us to step bak from an event, deal with it, and then move on". "
Abreo replied to Wire-teeth's discussion That-One-Rape-Joke in AVPS"Nah, it doesn't perpetuate the idea that it's OK. The joke is founded on the idea that selling women as sex slaves is disturbing, and wrong. Humans commonly laugh at things that are disturbing especially if they're fake, it's…"

Wire-teeth replied to Cassie H's discussion What if you aren't pretty or cute?"You think about the way you look too much.
Also, not all men are the same. They all have different tastes, all right? It's wrong and a generalization to assume that they all like the same thing, and that they're always more visual than…"
Kadie - Anne Elizabeth Evans replied to Wire-teeth's discussion That-One-Rape-Joke in AVPS"Hey, so I don't know if you'd be interested or not but there's this book. "The noughtie girls guide to feminism" - in your pants. It has a section about rape, rape jokes and feminism.

Squish-ee replied to Wire-teeth's discussion That-One-Rape-Joke in AVPS"Honestly? It was just a joke. People need to get over it. It's not like they were making fun of people who have been raped, and they didn't completely reference to rape to begin with. Not to mention that we didn't see the actual…"
Robin replied to Wire-teeth's discussion That-One-Rape-Joke in AVPS"Um, no, loving someone does NOT make being raped by them okay.
:\ I don't care if it was a funny joke, just because someone has a romantic interest in another does not mean that they cannot be raped NOR does it make rape alright."
Olivia replied to Wire-teeth's discussion That-One-Rape-Joke in AVPS"Especially because Umbridge REALLY DID get kidnapped by the centaurs. It's not like they invented it out of the blue."

Never have I ever baked a pie."
Olivia replied to Wire-teeth's discussion That-One-Rape-Joke in AVPS"I thought it was hilarious. It doesn't mean I agree with the sentiment, but I can still laugh."
Wire-teeth replied to Michael Inguanti's discussion Let's play...NEVER HAVE I EVER..."I have... Chorus in grade school. ;)
Never have I ever kissed a boy."
