Prison rape is never funny. It’s traumatic, violent, and life destroying.

Sea-lioning replies justifying rape will be blocked.

People need to stop making prison rape jokes. It's not OK to joke about women getting raped, so why is it OK when its a man? I fucking wish more people cared about male rape.

[–] meliaesc@lemmy.world 2 points 2 hours ago

I don't care if it is this particular situation, regardless of gender. Not even a little bit. I hope for worse.

So basically a rape joke. Remember when people had a meltdown when rape jokes were used against women ?

Where's the outrage ??? This is sick & disgusting.

Honestly Hope America rots in hell. What a sick society. Trump is seriously the best thing to happen to Americans. Revealed their true depraved nature.

I see a ton of comments from people upset by this. Yes, it is viewed differently, but in my experience, most people will realize why this isn't okay if you explain it to them.

[–] iamdefinitelyoverthirteen@lemmy.world 1 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

Don't generalize all of us, please. Most of my state (WA) did not ask for this and actively voted against it.

But yeah, definitely agree about the rape joke. That shit is not OK.

This crap has been happening for years. you Americans are still an evil, greedy & violent society. The multi-polar world cannot come soon enough. The alternative was a bunch of warmongering assholes. At least with Trump that suffering boomerangs back to you.

[–] zarkanian@sh.itjust.works 3 points 3 hours ago

The multi-polar world cannot come soon enough.

Wait, we're getting more poles? Fuck, navigation is going to be insane.

[–] iamdefinitelyoverthirteen@lemmy.world 2 points 7 hours ago* (last edited 7 hours ago) (1 children)

Yes, every single one of us, unequivocally, from the babe that was born five seconds ago, to the oldest living American: all of us are evil and greedy. Zero exceptions. Every person from every other country, especially you, is inherently better than every single American. Go fuck yourself.

[–] biotin7@sopuli.xyz -1 points 7 hours ago

The babies are innocent, you are an adult. You are not innocent. Didn't take long for you to involve infants huh.

& yes I am better than you, my country was tariffed for fun by you lot. Lot's of good people had to suffer & die (via suicide). So yeah I can say this; We will have true peace when America faces downfall. Rot in hell.

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.

[–] Anarchkitty@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 2 hours ago

You are right. This is perpetuating rape culture and is unacceptable in a progressive society. That woman should be ashamed of herself.

[–] JandroDelSol@lemmy.world 3 points 9 hours ago

I thought they were talking about locking Bill Clinton up with him, I didn't even realize the actual joke :(

[–] Aeao@lemmy.world 4 points 19 hours ago* (last edited 19 hours ago)

Email your representatives.

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:

  1. 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!”

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

[–] aeternum@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 19 hours ago

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!

What kind of idiot still holds out hope that trump will ever see the inside of a jail cell

[–] noxypaws@pawb.social 51 points 1 day ago (25 children)

Fuck this. No. This is so much of what's wrong with this fucking country.

No. Let's not reinforce prisons as torture camps. For fuck's sake.

Americans really have just normalised and relish terrible things happening to people in prison huh? Social programming is one hell of a drug

The "If Criminal, then Bad Person" and the "If Bad Person, then any Bad Thing OK" combo are pervasive in America, across the political spectrum, and have been for a while. At least since the War on Drugs started, and almost certainly well before that. It is frightening to have a conversation with a seemingly well-meaning, moral person and have them casually joke about prisoners being tortured, raped, or killed. I don't think it's an attitude unique to America but I think the private prison industry has had a lot to do with how incredibly common the attitude is that, if someone is in prison, they must have done something wrong, and if they did something wrong, any bad thing that happens to them (forced labor, starvation, sexual assault, death) is deserved punishment. It's ghastly.
