rape jokes
great ๐
Jokes about fucked things are always going to be. I say that as gay person that was used when I was in my early 20s.
In my experience I'd rather have someone make a rape/racist joke and know it's a joke than someone use a Facebook profile overlay to look like they are altruistic and give a fuck. Most people that I meet that say they are pro LGBT or not racists are literally part of the systemic issue, and are literally too privileged to really even understand the actual struggle. They only know pop culture and repeat the same lame talking points that are created for entertainment news and marketed news. It doesn't help. It's like the gentrification of LGBT and race culture. Those people are mainstream Americanizing/neutering and tainting the real authentic natural culture.
