[QUOTE="Cyber-Dave, post: 7551184, member: 82132"] Again, still the first option. You can think it’s ok to crack jokes that in any way, shape, or form belittle the victims of sexual assault. It’s not. You can think it doesn’t belittle such victims. It’s irrelevant. They get to choose. Not you. You can insist that humour makes it ok. In a small private space, you might be right! The crowd determines that. In a public space such as this one, refusing to listen when people tell you that a subject isn’t humorous to them and makes them uncomfortable just makes one a jerk. This isn’t a racey stand up comedy show. This isn’t a small, private space full of people who you know well, thus giving you the ability to judge how people will respond to jokes about certain topics. I don’t know any of you well enough to judge the tone of such a joke. None of us know each other well enough to know what traumas we have all been through. In a public forum such as this one, jokes about sexual assault, racism, or politics are toxic to the community. Yes, such jokes might have a place in the privacy of your real lives. Hell, among close friends, people who have lived through sexual assault might use humour to cope. Here, however, forcing people to deal with such jokes, explain why they are unpleasant, or repeatedly request that we please save them for our private game tables is just... let’s go with unfortunate.
