    I'm usually offended by the rape jokes in PA, but for some reason, this one didn't even register to me. It wasn't until I read the news article that I figured out that they literally meant that the previous comic was about rape. I missed the ``raped by dickwolves'' completely, because I just sort of read that as some purple prose saying that the slave was being violated intimately and thoroughly on a continual basis. I didn't even make the connection between the word and non-consensual sex (which I suppose is actually pretty good, since rape is rather about power).

    I will, however, defend the word rape. Kids these days think it can only mean non-consensual sex, when it can also mean many different types of plunder, rape of the land, rape of natural resources, and many other uses. It's a perfectly good word that has perfectly bad meanings, and I don't want to see those meanings get discarded.

    Edit: yes, and canola.

    Actually, the primary blog author has been in the spotlight of Bill O'Reilly before. You're small beans.

    Yes, because Bill "Fuck It, We'll Do It Live!" O'Reilly is considered the greatest news media anchor in recent history, and to be on his show is practically a guarantee that you will forever be a paragon of whatever cause you're speaking for, and that all people everywhere will agree with you.
    Derisive jokes aside, Goose, I think you pick up a few points by never having been on O'Reilly's show.

    No, but he certainly attracts more hateful jackasses that do exactly what he tells them to than Gabe and Tycho could ever hope to, and when he tells them to go after someone, even going so far as to put their head in the middle of a sniper scope, his loyal dogs do so.

    So let me get this straight...

    In your mind, Bill O'Reilly is considered more successful than G&T, because he has a bigger thrall of idiots at his command?

    Are you fucking serious?

    my post was in reply to the previous sarcastic post. which uses a typical trope in feminism, ie that straight white males opinions are meaningless(or any combination of the three theoretically). oftentimes when you hear the word privilege, a feminist is about to decide that your opinion is meaningless(unless of course you agree with the feminist).

    sorry if its too insider for you.

    Yes, because blanket dismissal of a concept makes you seem more intelligent than the radical fringes who support that concept's extreme implications.

    "I find it ridiculously funny that the person crying and getting butthurt is some fat ugly bitch who no one would probably ever rape. Pity the poor man who tried if so, hahahaha!"

    Saying that to the person who has been raped.

    Also, all the shit about censorship when, in fact, there were apparently people sending G&T emails expressing their offense, anger, whatever. Saying you're offended or angry is not equal to demanding that you be forcibly be shut down by the police.

    I don't know how you imagine society but straight white and male doesn't put you at the top. just for example, numerous asian ethnicities earn more than white males. more women graduate college than males. what kind of freakish racist dystopia do you imagine we're living in that a some poor dude in the appalachian mountains is "at the top of the ladder."

    but anyway, to some extent why bother. feminism is such a ridiculously assinine belief system I'm sure in your mind straight, white and male literally is the top of the ladder.

    Mostly because the vast majority of people posting in here have enough of a functioning brain stem to realize that being the victim of a crime does not give you carte blanche to write a blanket condemnation of people who you don't agree with. Perhaps the means through which we dissented were a bit juvenile, but I doubt anybody in here seriously meant the LOLRAEP comments. Which probably would've occurred to you if you hadn't just gone off your knee-jerk reaction, and thought out what you were about to say before you posted.
    and the blog gets such wonderful comments as this:

    http://shakespearessister.blogspot.com/2010/08/quote-of-day_13.html
    "I find it ridiculously funny that the person crying and getting butthurt is some fat ugly bitch who no one would probably ever rape. Pity the poor man who tried if so, hahahaha!"

    Saying that to the person who has been raped.

    The Internet is full of reactionary jackasses who will go out of their way to try and ruin someone's day. While what they said is reprehensible, if you weren't anticipating such a response, then you clearly didn't think things through enough.
    Also, all the shit about censorship when, in fact, there were apparently people sending G&T emails expressing their offense, anger, whatever. Saying you're offended or angry is not equal to demanding that you be forcibly be shut down by the police.

    No, but going through the blog post, and replacing all the dissenting posts with "I'm a douche" is censorship.

    If you're going to dispute a claim, please be aware that the shit you do on your blog supports your legitimacy in debating that claim.
