GameRager: Besides I didn't makes jokes about being raped, but about the term......
This is an important distinction. There have been no jokes about the state of someone being violated, there haven't even been any mean spirited posts about anything.

This is a thread about a willfully stupid person, or quite possibly a mentally unbalanced one. I've skimmed through her blog, and I'm coming to the conclusion that it's the latter. It makes this discussion less fun for me, because while one is worth mocking and having a good time over, the other is just sad.

So I'm going to scroll through a few pages of LOLcats until the bad taste goes away.

Salsa_Shark: Why is that if you don't mind me asking.

Smannesman: but the violation of rape stays with you forever (or a long time anyways). And if it was very bad certain things can trigger the memory so it's like you're violated over and over.
So would it not be better if rape were seen as something trivial? If it's going to stay with you forever and is going to be brought up over and over again wouldn't it be better if it were just considered a nuisance and not the grave crime it is now? That's just my opinion. i may be wrong but i can't help but think that if rape was something trivial everyone would be better off, victims and rapists(not that this matters and i feel a little bad for saying it).

So everybody should get raped multiple times so it is no longer 'special'?
Sounds like an interesting experiment.

I'm not saying you need to. I just felt compelled to point out that they are bad. You can do bad things as there is no universal rule that you need act good at all matters, but I wanted to make sure everyone knew that it isn't necessarily the most neutral subject to joke about.

I still think that the way the word "rape" is used as a base for jokes nowadays is really inconsiderate. For example, what used to be "spawn killing" seems to nowadays be "spawn rape" or "base rape". Neither of those is funny or relevant in any way I can conceive, and only work as both a juvenile group bonding joke for some and a deterrent for those outside that group.
So I'm a rape supporter because I know women have sexual needs. Okay!

lukipela: It sounds like this woman really needs to get laid. might relieve some of the stress and tension. Not to mention, crazy chicks are awesome in bed.
Loving her's a dirty job (but somebody's gotta do it)...

The world is full of people made fragile by life in one area or another. You either come to laugh or cry at the misfortunes it deals. The worst thing is when a joke fails to be funny because all you have a chance to do then is cry.


People keep giving that article attention but I'm not sure if we should be. The person who wrote it somewhere down the line became very bitter and angry and nothing anyone can say will change that for her. It's probably for the best the comments aren't open.
It got worse! I just noticed most women I know are also rape supporters because they think they have sexual needs. And it gets even worse than that. They actually enjoy making love with their boyfriends... or having intercourse in general...

so they all support rape! What a bad world we live in!

The article actually said "A man is a rape-supporter if...", so it doesn't say anything about women. If you made a similar list for women, though, then pretty much everyone ever would be a rape-supporter. Suggesting that women, too, can be sexist/something usually doesn't end well, however.

Does "man" imply "gender" or "human"? It is not made clear. According to bible (or maybe other sources if you search some), women and men both are a type of "man". :-)

GameRager: Is that the next Bioshock title?
Nay, it's John Romero's comeback. ;)

Imagine the ad: " John Romero still wants to make you his bitch".

Actually she just refers to men, not women. And when asked if the list would fit women also she deflects... a lot. I feel sorry for her. She needs professional help and some heavy medication.
I love how there are posts starting with or containing "I found this list eye-opening". Unless that's ironic statement, her post is not eye-opening. More "I can't believe it's not a troll trying to go for shock reaction" bullshit. Most of her points are... so generic and unreasonable that I can only say "Wow, people actually believes in 90% of this? Rapture better come soon..."

Her replies to comments are even better:

"Willful blindness to the relationship between pornography and sex trafficking is endemic, notwithstanding the efforts of many to raise awareness on this issue."

but this one is the best:

"Additionally, brain scans of men engaged in viewing pornography reveal that the act of viewing pornography (not usually live naked women, but visual depictions of naked women) light up the part of the brain associated with utilizing an object. "

No link to study papers that point out that's exactly the case? No? There is study about watching porn and brain area activity but it does not state that the area is responsible for "tool using" but reward... And yeah, whatever, I am not neuroscientist and base it off comments/almost zero research... Wow nevertheless...

HAHAHA, this is awesome! Hey, let’s make a game out of this. Who can last the longest without turning out to be a rapist (when checking off the list from top to bottom)?

I lost at point #9. Can anyone beat my score?



Also, hey, good to see you again, lukipela. And only at -1, huh? You’re progressing ;>
