maybe you should avoid this thread.

I can always lock it.

Don't know about anyone else but in my mind its funny if when Shed posted that they forgot Descan made the tread. . . I would go on more but reading what I'v said I ^{beginning it think I probably _{can't describe how I found it funny. . . ok imma shut up now. . . >_< I'm sorry!}}

Change OP/thread name to say you don't consent to all the rape jokes posted here?

But that means if someone does post a...

Yeah, sorry, I have a ~thing~ about rape jokes, that is, I don't like them. At all.

I removed it for you.
My apologies for posting it to begin with. I'm not a fan of rape jokes either, thus why it went in the "terrible jokes thread" and not in a "good jokes thread". Frankly, I usually avoid this thread, what with all of the racist jokes and whatnot, but for some reason I haven't seen all that much complaining about the racist jokes.

Tbh, I'm surprised that Toady hasn't locked this thread.

Is this the point where everyone has a group hug and because friends again?

How about we make a rule that if anyone is offended by a joke, the person who made the joke has to remove it?  That should allow for getting rid of jokes that really bother people without excluding entire classes of jokes. Targeting the problems rather than mass nuking.

I am offended by this joke. 

[pisskop]

Ugh, just stay away or spoil the rapey jokes?  Or all of them, really.

There are other classes of jokes that insult people, though, which is why I propose a general rule of removal.

[Descan]

I could get behind that, as long as it's just a PM from the offend-ee to the offend-er. I don't want it publicly cluttering up the thread, that would get annoying if every few pages there was a page or two of playing the "Offensive or not?" game as every Tom, Dick, and Harry pipped up on whether they, personally, found it offensive or not, as if it was some sort of public vote or debate and you need a majority for it to be removed.

As for racist jokes, yeah they bother me too, but not to the same level as rape jokes. Maybe I'm being a hypocrite talkin' about the one and not the other. I don't know.

[Helgoland]

I don't think it should be a general right - there are situations where a joke should be erased, but there also are situations where the offended party just needs to  grow a pair.

[Descan]

Possibly. Though from my perspective, it's just a joke, yeah? So what's the harm in removing it, especially if it's actively harming someone else. It's not like you're being censored for political or religious beliefs, you've no stake in the joke.

Though I have a dim view of the offense by group-proxy thing people have going on.  Being offended on behalf of a different group? Naw man, fuck off. Being offended on behalf of an actual person you know? Better.

Tom, Dick, and Harry

This suddenly reminded me of this terrible movie.

Obligatory joke:

If Superman protects "peace, justice, and the American way", then isn't he a hypocrite?

I like the idea of PMs.  This forum seems to be ,mature enough to handle that.  I hope?
