I like how he said "Everybody started coughing, even the professor", as if the professor should have some sort of special professor power that prevents that.

Just about as hilarious as releasing chemical weapons agents into the ventilation system without knowing for sure if any of the students are asthmatic and might be at risk for fatal complications. If one's a prank then the other is too. Or they're both assault, and neither are actually funny.

[–]PonyPunch 37 points38 points ago

Maced, you say?

[–]gnovos 1 point2 points ago

[–]lucas42 0 points1 point ago

Both would be the worst.

[–]yakityyakblah 0 points1 point ago

No, one is pretty clearly worse than the other. Except like actually being beaten with a mace as one person pointed out, that'd be a strong contender for the top spot.

[–]lucas42 0 points1 point ago

You misunderstand, I meant that being both maced and raped would be so much worse than either one individually and we should dread the day that rapists learn to carry mace.

[–]MrHerpDerp 0 points1 point ago

    Can you tell me why rape is the only thing people are not allowed to joke about? I mean people joke about murder, the mentally handicapped, torture, genocide and many other things much worse than rape, but for some reason that is okay but joking about rape isn't. It just seems ridiculous that people are not allowed to joke about rape when there are so many worse things that people laugh about.

    [–]ArecBardwin 6 points7 points ago

    Usually, people are bothered by things that hit too close to home. There are more people who have either been raped or know someone who has than people who have been murdered or tortured. I like all kinds of jokes, that's just my theory on why so many people dislike rape jokes.

    [–]bobbieluvsya -1 points0 points ago

    Bingo. You're not likely to make a murder joke to a murder victim any time soon.

    As well, rape is one of those crimes that people are often really scared to speak out about. You're a lot more likely to know if your friend has been mugged or something than if they've been raped, even if you know them really well.

    [–]ibowls -1 points0 points ago

    Not to mention that 1 in every 4 women has been raped. Just saying it's not as "remote" as some people would like to think.

    [–]pirate_chef 1 point2 points ago

    Where did you get that statistic?

    [–]notmytree 0 points1 point ago

    Unfortunately, rape statistics can be pretty fuzzy because so many rapes go unreported. Statistics about reported rapes can be found here and statistics pertaining to victims here. It's probably safe to assume that these are conservative estimates given how many rapes are not reported. It really is much more prevalent than homicide.

      It's not funny if the joke is malicious. (And this one certainly is.)

      Humor is a complex topic, though. (Unfortunately, so is rape.)

      'It's now very common to hear people say, "I'm rather offended by that", as if that gives them certain rights. It's no more than a whine. It has no meaning, it has no purpose, it has no reason to be respected as a phrase. "I'm offended by that." Well, so fucking what?' —Stephen Fry

      Alright guys, once again, MOST RAPE JOKES ARE NOT FUNNY AND ARE HIGHLY INAPPROPRIATE AND OFFENSIVE

      I've been through many rapes, and this shit is obviously written by a person who has never even thought about the profound psychological and physical harm acts of rape can inflict upon people. Yes, I said people, because I know men are raped as well. As are trans* people.

      Can we please just start realizing that callously joking about violent and hateful acts is not okay? Wanda Sykes manages to intelligently critique rape in this joke here.

      TL;DR: Rape jokes are insulting and not funny unless you apply sensitivity to the subject.

      EDIT: For all you assholes who are downvoting, I don't give a flying fuck. I am standing up for something I really am passionate about. If that means less imaginary internet points, I. DON'T. CARE.

      [–]CrushTheOrphanage 5 points6 points ago

      I probably have no right to say anything, and I'll probably catch a lot of flak for saying this, but I consider people using rape jokes acceptable under certain circumstances (more than just criticizing rape culture). People use rape as a punchline because they consider it the absolute worst thing you can do to a person. Most people who use rape in a joke aren't doing it because because they're marginalizing rape, but because it's the absolute worst thing they can think of to happen to someone.

      For example, Louis CK does a joke about how he hates civic pride/rivalry, and that the only reason anyone should just hate a place is if everyone from that place gangraped their mom. It's not criticizing rape culture, but I think it has some merit because it's recognizing that rape is the absolute worst thing that can happen to someone, worse than assault, torture, murder, or anything else.

      [–]Lmkt 16 points17 points ago

      I didn't laugh at the rape joke, not because it was a rape joke, but because it wasn't funny.

      [–]imcontroversial 5 points6 points ago

      I agree that rape jokes are offensive, but all you're proving here is that you don't understand jokes. The argument shouldn't be that rape jokes aren't funny; it should be that they aren't nice.

            Wrong. I feel it's wrong.

            One thing wrong does not make the other thing right. How fucking narrow minded do you have to be to not understand that they both might be wrong?

            [–]JimmyHavok 2 points3 points ago

            I missed the part where somebody said raping her was right. If you think funny = right, then your career as a comedian is over.

              Agreed. A lot of these jokes are just "look-a me! I'm so edgy and inappropriate".

              I've been through many rapes

              Holy shit. Sorry to hear about that. Are there survivors who use humor to work through the pain? Feminism has been working very hard to impress society on the seriousness of rape, so I think that anything like that would be downplayed, though.

              FWIW, I think that most of society considers rape to be very serious. BUT I also think that most people don't really realize what rape is (or fully appreciate what "consent" is).

              [–]JaiWren 12 points13 points ago

              Thank you

              [–]anne_frank_porno 11 points12 points ago

              You would have no problem with the joke if he said "Now you can murder her." Getting offended and butthurt over jokes like this does NOT prevent rape. Yes, I understand someone who has been through a traumatic experience might not want a reminder of it, but that doesn't mean I will tip toe through conversations out of fear of offending someone and certainly not on a public forum where people should be allowed to freely express themselves. What next? Let's not talk about coffee because one time my dad spilled coffee on himself while driving and crashed into a ditch and died. That's insensitive to what happened to my father.

              And lastly, you do not get to decide what is funny. You didn't find it funny, others did. What you meant to say was that rape jokes are not funny to you. For that, I'm sorry. Note: I didn't find the joke funny and I think it's quite stupid, but that's not what is under discussion.

              [–]CaptainMaybe 7 points8 points ago

              This coming from someone who's username is anne_frank_porno... TIL some people have the social awareness of a mollusk.

              Btw, you seem awfully vitriolic for someone who claims that people shouldn't be offended about things.

              [–]Oh_My_Sagan 4 points5 points ago

              Just because you [and others] find it funny does not make it not problematic.

              /worded horribly

              [–]anne_frank_porno 8 points9 points ago

              Why is it problematic exactly? Because it offends people? Because lots of jokes offend people. Who gets to decide where the line is drawn? The only person who can control whether you get offended or not is the person getting offended.

              It always amuses me when people talk about what offends them here, when racial and religious jokes are applauded and defended as avenues of free speech. But rape, oh god, as whites that's something we have to deal with and suddenly it's too far. Any line you draw will be arbitrary and based entirely on your own ethical standards.

              [–]ibowls -2 points-1 points ago

              I didn't find the joke funny and I think it's quite stupid, but that's not what is under discussion.

              What is under discussion? What's "socially acceptable"? You're free to make a joke, other people are free to be offended. You can't tell them not to be offended, any more than they can tell you not to make the joke.

                  This isn't dark humour, this is stupidity. It wasn't witty, it wasn't amusing, it was just "now you can rape her."

                  Tell me a good holocaust joke, rape joke, racist joke, I DON'T CARE, if it's funny, I'll laugh. That includes jokes about me. If it's funny, it's funny.

                  [–]anne_frank_porno -2 points-1 points ago

                  You're ignoring the point, which is that the OP (of this thread, not the original post) was OFFENDED by the post because it was rape joke. There was never a call into question whether or not it was funny. I agree with you that it really wasn't funny or witty, but that's not the point now is it?

                  So what's funny is you actually agree with the person you replied to, who didn't even mention if he found this particular joke funny.

                  [–]Knuckledustr 0 points1 point ago

                  You must've missed something, as I was referring to the person I replied too only, who was calling this Dark Humour, which it isn't. It's the equivalent of saying "lol i rape you" and then expecting people to laugh. OP's views on this are irrelevant.

                  [–]Jess_than_three -1 points0 points ago

                  Yeah, it's not so much about "offensive" as it is "incredibly distressing to rape victims". So your first sentence should read like this,

                  Alright, once again, I DO NOT GIVE A FUCK HOW MUCH PAIN OR DISTRESS I CAUSE YOU.

                  [–]tvalladon -1 points0 points ago

                  I agree, the joke was in bad taste and was not funny, but the response from spacetimemeatmachine was.

                  Though I appreciate your attempt to rewrite my words into a context that make you feel better you are missing my point completely.

                  The fact that spacetimemeatmachine was raped sucks and the fact that stuff like that does happen sucks, the world would be a better place if stuff like this did not happen. However, that does not mean that her experiences should in any way dictate my or anyone else's humor, expression or speech.

                  There are lots of traumatized people in the world, should I now not find the idea of a dolphin attempting to rape a human funny just because it has happened to someone and I might hurt someone, somewhere, sometime?

                    It's not "dark humor," it's being insensitive to victims and acting privileged because you don't know what it's like to be completely violated and find it difficult to trust an entire group of people through no fault of their own.

                    [–]tvalladon 1 point2 points ago

                    Acting privileged? Because I think is asinine to expect others other to stop joking about a topic just because you had a traumatic experience? Who exactly is acting privileged?

                    [–]spacetimemeatmachine -1 points0 points ago

                    I don't expect people to stop joking about rape. I would, however, enjoy it if they tried to look at whatever they're about to say from the viewpoint of the victim. Most people have no idea what goes on in victim's brains, thus, you have the "not-raped" privilege of not having to relive traumatic events and apply them in your day-to-day life.

                    The joke in the link has no tact or intelligence, and no compassion for the victim, thus it is offensive and distressing.

                    I'm confused, who exactly do you think is the "victim" here? Do you mean random redditors that this kid had no idea would ever read his comment? Or do you mean the people who were pepper sprayed? Or are you referring to the sociopath who maced dozens of people and deserves to stand trial for assault?

                    you CAN joke about rape. here are some GOOD examples: http://jezebel.com/5925186/how-to-make-a-rape-joke

                    this post is a BAD example of a rape joke.

                    read the link, educate yourself and you will see that things are not black and white. making jokes about rape can be funny, but this one just wasn't funny and really encourages a culture that liberally embraces rape as an ok thing.

                    surely you're not ok with that?

                    Wow I just about disagreed with everything she said. She's using some horrible strawman arguments in that long winded article.

                    The one thing do I agree with is that there's a distinction between making a joke that includes rape, but isn't making the person getting raped the butt of the joke are in a different category than jokes that do.

                        I think rape is awful, and should never happen, and I feel extremely bad for those who've been raped. I also, however, do respect humor. There is no line to be drawn. Offense is not given, it's taken.

                          No, it's not okay, but it doesn't justify urging someone to rape.

                          Think about it for a second. One, while in bad taste, is clearly a joke. The other is actually assaulting people in real life. Pepper spray is not usually deadly, but if someone had a lung condition, it could very well have been, and even if that were not the case, it's still a violent act of sociopathy. No matter how bad the joke is, actually attacking people is always much, much worse.

                          [–]Thefriendlyfaceplant 1 point2 points ago

                          Mace is a highly carcinogenic substance, spraying it over a large group of people increases the chances of at least one of them developing (lung)cancer as a result tremendously.

                          So yeah, now hold that notion up to a dude joking about rape. Hardly compares.

                          [–]samclifford 1 point2 points ago

                          The moment we live in a culture where people who are maced have their morality called into question and a huge portion of the population have to deal with being maced in their lifetime or living with the threat of being maced, sure.

                            I'm slowly approaching the conclusion that there is in that no such thing as any form of acceptable joke because there's always a way that someone can take offense.

                            I mean, what groups is it OK to be insensitive to? Perhaps I should just ask for a list. Might be easier. Is it still acceptable to mock those who don't understand puns and wordplay by engaging in such?

                            EDIT: Yeah, I figured people wouldn't like that. I do hold rather idiosyncratic views on humor. I think everything is funny. Moreover, I think humor and laughter are probably the only things that will save our collective sanity under the stress of living in the world with all its apparently insoluble problems.

                            This, of course, is a view unlikely to go over well with people who believe in being offended by what is intended to be humor. Just because you laugh at a joke doesn't mean you have to find it funny in the way it's intended to be. Sometimes laughing at the sad sack of crap telling the "joke" is more fun.

                            [–]astuteduck 1 point2 points ago

                            The only issue really, is this isn't even funny. If you find this funny I bet you that you wont in 6 months. Its not even an attempt at humour, its not witty, not a pun, no wordplay.

                            [–]Thefriendlyfaceplant 1 point2 points ago

                            I found it funny. It's suggesting that the only thing that standing between her being raped by hordes of student is her bottle of mace. You know, like a horror movie where the flashlight battery gives up.

                            Then again, I think appropriateness has nothing to do with the quality of the humor. There's some pretty good holocaust jokes which I like even though my granddad told me excruciating stories from his days in the camps.

                            [–]astuteduck 2 points3 points ago

                            I would agree that appropriateness has nothing to do with quality of humour, I just think the quality of this joke is very low. As /u/spacetimemeatmachine mentioned, intelligent jokes, those are more acceptable and amusing. I love dark humour, but I find what makes dark humour funny is in the presentation and the wit behind the joke. To me this comes across as just a crass and not all that funny.

                            [–]Thefriendlyfaceplant -1 points0 points ago

                            Fair enough. An inappropriate joke doesn't automatically ensure good humor either.

                            [–]astuteduck 1 point2 points ago

                            Why is it whenever I have any sort of discussion with people on this site I always end up having some sort of an agreement on points with the person.

                            My issue wasn't so much as it being a rape joke or inappropriate, more the fact I found it bad.

                            Can we please just start realizing that callously joking about violent and hateful acts is not okay?

                            Some people use laughter as a coping mechanism, but I see what you mean. I don't think it likely that any rape victims would start joking about it, perhaps only people who can't comprehend it.

                            That's a bit strange now I think about it actually, why do humans joke about terrible things in general when it only aids those who do terrible things by making it appear as though it's no big deal?

                              Maybe I should have been clearer. I don't believe because i have over 20 friends, that one of them has to be a rapist. I'm not saying the statistics provided are not correct, however I doubt you can take 20 people from any one section of the population all over the world, and have a rapist in there. I admit I am bias, however I highly doubt my group of relatively sheltered friends is chocked full of rapists.

                                Hey everybody just a quick tip, rape jokes reinforce rape culture and make actual rapists think rape is okay. If you make rape jokes, especially on a widely-viewed place like reddit, you're indirectly reinforcing/encouraging actual rape. So cut it out.

                                Dare him to go rape her. If you replace rape with: murder, bludgeon, assault, lynch etc. the joke is STILL not funny. He made the victim (the girl) the butt of the joke where it's funny that a man can go violate her body.

                                Not fucking funny.

                                [–]ComputerJerk 17 points18 points ago

                                The joke is not the action of rape itself, the joke is that in using her defense tool to assault other people needlessly, she has in a twist of fate made herself vulnerable to an attack whether it be as a consequence of her actions or not.

                                Nobody is saying the act of rape is funny, just like dead babies are not funny. But dark and inappropriate humor is not a mechanism by which we justify horrendous actions, instead we find subtleties and expose them for humorous affect and juxtapose those subtleties against the obviously dark nature of the subject matter for emphatic effect.

                                laughing about an actual mans account of having his dick cut off isnt funny and yet a group of women giggled and laughed at it, one dude makes a joke about a hypothetical situation and everyone loses there shit.

                                    After that terrible rape joke I think it's time to watch some Jimmy Carr to settle down.

                                    Just because mace is hot doesn't mean that 5 fire trucks can put if out.

                                    Just mace? That's it? Some D-bag sprayed FUCKING BEAR MACE on my dorm floor my freshman year before finals first semester. A nice welcome to Montana. We all left our floor for at least 3 hours while it aired out...

                                    ITT feminists don't understand that something can be funny because it's inappropriate.

                                    ITT people don't understand that just because it's inappropriate, that doesn't make it funny.

                                    I think rape jokes are really tacky and classless. Normally I'd say they should never be told. However, I think this is an example of a rape joke that's actually witty and it should be okay to laugh. George Carlin, Louis CK and others often take on this subject. Joan Rivers will eat you alive if you heckle her for telling offensive jokes. I don't like when people use "rape" as a verb, like "oh god, we raped that team yesterday" etc. because the banality of it makes it seem like rape is no big deal or is an appropriate verb to use. This joke, however makes the connection between mace (a weapon) and rape (a sexual assault) and women (primary targets). Subversively, the context here does not legitimize rape in any way, but encourages us to think about rape, and make the connections humorously. I laughed, cause I knew it was wrong, but it was still witty.

                                    The obvious implication being that the lady only had the mace as some kind of defensive weapon. Now that she's foolishly spent it, she's relatively defenseless against the very things that prompted her to acquire defensive weaponry in the first place.

                                    That's probably an accurate, if tasteless, assessment.

                                    People are allowed to say whatever the hell they want, but I expect a little more from even the second-to-front-page.
