Remember this next time you run across one of those idiots in college of any gender who idolizes Japanese culture.

Let's make like the third world and eat coprophages and use acupuncture and ground up tiger penis instead of medicine, and then we can have the quality of life they do too! Great idea, U.N.

Protip, walking around like every man is just waiting to rape/molest you is factually incorrect and just about as far from "incredibly healthy" as you can get.

What does Barack "My Christian faith" Obama have to gain from giving his actual base (socially conservative union members and black churchgoers) what they want, while once again throwing liberal twentysomethings who are electorally insignificant under the bus? Gee, I wonder.

Because he constantly goes out of the way to proclaim his "Christian faith" and Christians believe that any woman who has sex should be punished for it.

By the way, if you don't agree with me that Anthony Jeselnik is funny, that's...perfectly fine! You know why? Because people are allowed to like different things, without making all the people who don't agree with you rapists!

I don't think you understand how arguments work. You can't just assert that every rape joke is "at the expense of the victims" or "fosters rape culture" when that's what you're trying to prove! And prove it you and Lindy surely have not.

No, "funny" does not mean "in line with my political values," dum-dum. And the idea that referencing something in a joke makes that thing actually happen is just as much bullshit as it was when this tempest in a teapot started.

Haha yes, let's accuse everyone who disagrees with you on the Internet of being a rapist and then call them "overly defensive" if they disagree. Another winning strategy from the Jezebel nutjob factory!

Yeah, the "nuances" in the linked article that determine who is allowed to make jokes are based on whether you're a comedian that Internet cool kids like such as noted "privileged white straight male" Louis C.K. In other words: the whole argument is completely ludicrous and based on sorting men into heroes and rapists…

The article is a mess. "Don't tell rape jokes. Rape jokes are bad. If you're a white straight man. If you're not then rape jokes are OK for some reason. Well, they aren't. Oh, unless you're Louis CK. He's a black lesbian, right? No? Well uh, the point is, only cool comedians are allowed to tell rape jokes. Which are…

If they're people I have every justified reason to hurt and am attempting to hurt, like people who are heckling me at a comedy show, then your argument for not doing it is pretty poor. And the general argument falls apart because of all the "jokes about rape" we can consider, only this one cherry-picked example, the…

Well good for you not saying it, but EVERYONE else supporting the article is saying it.

Well, despite Lindy West repeatedly insisting that she's a professional comedian and is funny because she says she is, she is in fact neither, and her repeated theme in these articles is "how DARE people find things funny." There's a lot of logical leaps made—rape is the same as telling someone "you should be raped"…

That's not exactly what happened—he exploded on them just because they were talking during the show. It's different. And even so, people were accusing him of what he actually did (using racist words) not saying he was actually going to literally lynch them like the nutjobs on this site who have repeatedly insisted…

Yes, they deal with hecklers all the time...by saying things like this. Comedians respond to hecklers in brutal ways. Always have, always will, and the majority of them are male and get no more delicate treatment.

Lindy West isn't funny. Crusading against the concept of comedy isn't funny. If you are confusing those concepts with "women aren't funny" or you think what goes on at Jezebel speaks for "women" or "feminists" as a group that's a mistake that's on you. And you have no idea what groups anyone here is or is not in.…

She didn't go "ready to have a good time," she went to yell at the performer for not submitting his jokes to her approval. She was being drunk and disruptive and a comedian responded the way comedians always have and always will respond to that. Let's not forget who instigated here.

The only imaginary rapes are the ones in the comedy club you keep referring to. Real rape is a real problem. Constantly asserting that rape jokes are the same thing as rape is delusional.

Yeah, thanks for illustrating the problem...this is about trivializing rape by using the "rapist" label against people who make jokes you don't find cool. You should all be ashamed of yourselves.
