Sort-of memes that are cracking you up at the moment

My (x) is a (y), therefore how could I possibly be (z).

Has meme been resolved yet?

It's a stretch to say me posting that meme was tantamount to the normalisation of rape.

Actually, now I've typed it, it's fucking ridiculous.

First they came for the rape jokes

Yeah but the other stuff.

Yes

No

Fair enough. Everybody has aired their views.

You have quite clearly nailed your colours to the it's ok to post rape jokes and then use a homophobic insult in response to somebody complaining post.

Others have pointed out that the making or reposting of rape jokes on the internet contributes to the normalisation of rape culture, a view shared by the vast majority of professionals working with sex assault victims and people working to reduce internet hate crime.

I'm quite happy for the public record to show I'm in the latter camp and not the former.

Memes.

Where was the homophobic joke?

your breath smells like dick or something like that.

see you're so homophobic you don't even notice!

Could've just been calling him a straight female slut or something, that's still cool right guys?

Out of interest what's everyone's view on using the phrase arse-licker?

Oh FFS.

Now, I'm supposed to know the gender of the poster?

Love it. ^^

Oh dear.

How do you even function? Does it not wear you down being offended for other people all day?

My offence to your comments is very personal.

I'm out. Enjoy arguing amongst yourselves.

Play a game of soggy biscuit and enjoy it, male female or otherwise.

Oh dear.

Given that the joke would have "worked" for any physical crime it seems daft to suggest that it's normalising anything.

This...

"Woman who falsely accused 15 men of throwing her off a bridge jailed for 10 years"

"Looks it it would have been a 15 man job, lol!"

...wouldn't seem like a normalisation of throwing people off bridges, because it's just a fat joke (albeit a crap one).

You're assuming that a) all physical crimes are equivocal, both psycologically for a victim and in how crimes are percieved and perpetuated, and b) making glib fat jokes is OK. Memes.

Back on track? Or bad for deafies?

Yeah, I'm just not convinced that it deserves the outrage that a straightforward rape joke does, because it's obviously a joke about her weight. It's still shit, but then so is she.

^ Honey, kids, some rape jokes are ok!
Thanks for clearing that up.
