The new forums will be named Coin Return (based on the most recent vote)! You can check on the status and timeline of the transition to the new forums here.
The Guiding Principles and New Rules document is now in effect.
Also I'd like to point out that I've said over and over again how talking about rape, including depictions of it in movies, or even dealing with it in a comedic sense isn't necessarily bad.
There are similarities to racism -- when natek draws a picture of Rob in a rice-paddy hat with slanty eyes saying "ching chong wing wong" because it's so over-the-top and because natek and rob know each other and we know their relationship, it's clearly satirizing the stereotype itself rather than reinforcing it.
Similarly, I think there's plenty of rape jokes on this forum that actually draw humor from satirizing rape culture (whether intentional or not), rather than making light of rape itself. Making jokes about pounding some natty ice and going out on the town for a night of sideways visors, fake tanning and rape isn't making light of rape, it's satirizing the whole guido/bro culture, including the attendant sexual violence.
Like, no one seems to be capable of processing that I'm saying you can talk about, even joke about basically anything -- just be conscious of who the joke is aimed at. When it's aimed at victims, or when it trivializes truly bad things, you might be being offensive.
I wonder how many credits in womyn's studies backwards has
womyn is a pretty stupid word tbh
radical culturalist feminists like Andrea Dworkin or even Susan Brownmiller aren't really my cup of tea but it's nice to see that you still think all feminists are like that, despite the fact that they were never representative of a majority of feminists, and opponents of certain women's rights issues like the ERA or abortion have tried to make them seem representative of feminism in the decades since
I'm not gonna lie, prison rape isn't an issue I concern myself with
you do the crime, you get the cock in your ass
Well the idea is that trivializing prison rape in turn trivializes all rape
like, if you can rationalize someone deserving rape, and you say that's ok, and so does our culture generally, then how hard is it for someone who has really unhealthy feelings towards women to rationalize that they deserve it?
By saying that rape is OK under certain circumstances, you make it easier for others to justify it under different circumstances.
Or so the argument goes. I think there's definitely merit to it.

you're = you are
your = belonging to you
their = belonging to them
there = not here
they're = they are
Dru why do you find it so important to follow me everywhere I make posts and tell me how big of a blowhard I am
I mean aside from the fact I don't care whether I'm being a blowhard or not, since it has no bearing on the strength or accuracy of one's arguments, I just find it so weird that you have this compulsion to white knight around and save the forum from my posting.
crank 1 for me was all about the style and the dark humor, the plotline was just an added bonus
i want crank 2 to be the same, but more like shoot em up in plot/fighting scenes

dried mango slices coated in cayenne
in fact I like to pack these along as a convenient and delicious snack to keep my energy up on my raping sprees
JordynNolz.com <- All my blogs (Shepard, Wasted, J'onn, DCAU) are here now!
I mean, otherwise, why bother

and pharezon, I'd say a bag has enough calories to see me through 4.5 rapes on average

then you're not just encouraging rape as an idea, you're actually engaging in rape

This seems like common sense.

would you suggest raping Batman as well?

But way to strawman?
I think the problem here is that you're a cunt
maybe you should not be so much of a cunt
more?
edit: bonus points for taking back "cunt" for womyn everywhere! how empowering!
you do the crime, you get the cock in your ass
women's studies classes are generally terrible, and most schools women's studies departments are jokes
sad but true
p.s. thanks brosef i do what i can 8-)
