This actually made me sick to my stomach. I’m used to prison rape (and men being raped in general) being treated as a joke, but to see it in an ostensibly “progressive” movement was just too much for me. Especially since these are the same people who rushed to condemn violence after Kirk got shot. Where is your morality now?
Realise that the revenge you’re praying for can only happen if the institution of prison rape, which predominantly victimizes queer people in men’s prisons, continues to exist. If you find that tolerable even for a second… I just don’t know how to reach you.
If it makes you feel better (assuming you meant any of that)
I think reform is coming. We saw it with Hollywood. For the longest time that was also a joke “you wanna be a star don’cha?”.
Humor is pain. You won’t find a single joke that isn’t based entirely around pain of some kind. It’s one of the ways we process emotions and it’s one of the easier ways to talk about difficult subjects. It can and always has been a doorway to the eventual discussion.
So hopefully that helps.
Some examples:
Why did the chicken cross the road? To get to the other side. The humor is “it was an easy and obvious answer you fool!”
the other night as I lied in bed looking up at the stars and the infinite cosmos I couldn’t help but wonder… what the fuck happened to my ceiling. The humor is the thing you thought was coming didn’t happen and now you are shocked and briefly confused.
my mother never breast fed me. She said she always considered me more of a friend. The humor is Rodney dangerfields mother didn’t love him.

You are right. This is perpetuating rape culture and is unacceptable in a progressive society. That woman should be ashamed of herself.
I thought they were talking about locking Bill Clinton up with him, I didn’t even realize the actual joke :(
Yeah, but it’s fine because it’s someone we don’t like. Just because that makes us a hypocrite, doesn’t mean that prison rape isn’t fine!
