And, as I'm assuming you're a man, I think it's hard for you to wrap your mind around the way that women have to live their lives to avoid being raped.
What?
Really?
Because I'm pretty sure the focus of my morning is not escaping from my apartment to my car in broad daylight, slinking from doorway to doorway so that Mysterious Rapist Number 119877 won't catch me and have his violent way with me.

I dislike the blogger's post and severe lack of sense of humor, but you can't really use the all or nothing argument for Mike and Jerry. It is now well documented how Mike feels about drugs (the illegal kind) and why. They haven't ever done an overdose joke, and with good reason, but it kind of puts an end to everything is funny or nothing is. I have to imagine if one of them had as awful an experience with rape as Mike did with his brother's overdose, the aftermath of that would be a lot less joking on the subject. But maybe I'm wrong.
The difference is that Mike isn't shoving his opinion in other people's faces, and calling them fetid pieces of human shit when they make overdose jokes.
That's basically what the idiot behind this blog is doing, if not in so many words.
What surprised me most about some of the reactions to our Dickwolf joke was not that people were offended. But that this was the comic that offended them. In each case the emails I got started with something like “I’ve been a long time fan” or “Been reading the comic for years...” and then they go into how this particular comic really bothered them.
I just don’t understand that. Did the comics about bestiality, suicide, murder, pedophilia, and torture not bother them? Or how about the fruit fucker? I mean, we have a character who is a literal rapist. What comic strip have they been reading all these years?
For the most part I think that people are perfectly happy to laugh at offensive jokes until the joke offends them. Then it’s not funny anymore. There is no way we can know what each and every person who reads the comic has decided to find offensive.
In the end I just disagree with these people about what’s funny and that’s perfectly okay.
Is there a bizarre sect of people out there who were raped during childhood and just now finding their voices? And choosing just now to use those voices to complain? Fuck. That.
If they really wanted to offend people, they would have gone the animal cruelty route.
People could watch a movie about genocide and not flinch, but the second they see a dog get kicked or something, that's when people get angry
god, that's so true and is one of my pet peeves about food and the relationship Americans have with it
an audience will have no problem watching a cook handle a piece of chicken, pork, beef, a whole crab
as long as it's already dead, they ain't give a shit
but heaven forbid that cook kill a live shrimp or live crab in front of them
I can guarantee you a significant portion of the crowd would be fucking shocked and even outraged that they had to watch a fucking crab get killed
I really cannot believe people were offended by such a small joke. It wasn't even the main attraction of that particular strip, and I barely gave it a second thought when I read it. Maybe they forgot they are on the internet, where if you are offended by rape jokes, you probably should leave.

I'm standing right here
@ Quoth: the constant use of "retarded" kind of gets to me too, but then again gamers using "rape" to mean beaten has always been a pet peeve of mine

Ugh, that kind of attitude with crustaceans bugs me the most, since most of those people wouldn't hesitate to squash a spider if they saw one.

I POINTED THAT OUT ON THE SECOND OR THIRD PAGE STOP COPYING ME.
The funny part is that I literally copied your post but edited you and the robot out to trim down the quote tree. :P

I identify more or less as a feminist myself, so it still doesn't make sense to me.

Dammit, I was on my way to post this.

bro, let's go down to the rape store tonight and buy a 12 pack of rape!
I wish you a plentiful bounty in your rape harvest.

I'm pretty sure that's the fundamental tenet of feminism
That is impossible, I have to much faith in humanity to believe anyone can think that.
no that's the fundamental tenet of crazy people who are crazy
You say tomato. I say tomahto.
Why the fuck do I know so much about femnist bloggers?

Not with my had though eww.
oh man
the reason they're kept alive is to keep them super fresh
cooking them while still alive doesn't magically make them taste better
:?: It's just the way my dad did it.
They scream.
I thought that was just steam escaping.
It's actually just the steam escaping from their shells as their bodies cook from inside, making a high-pitched whistle.
ain't got vocal chords
