Okay, they make you uncomfortable. So what? There are rape survivors who use rape jokes to help them get over their trauma (just like cancer survivors or disaster survivors). And the idea that rape jokes normalize rape is asinine. That is the same argument people use about video games causing violence. And if a virtual murder simulator doesn't cause violence, a joke won't cause someone to rape. Nor will it normalize it.

And I wasn't even talking about the internet. In the US, rape is despised. It is socially and politically despised.

Interestingly, 99% of the people I've ever heard make rape jokes are guys. Maybe some have been rape survivors, but probably not most.

Unfortunately I don't have a particular anecdote that I remember but I know some people are really offended by them and I doubt all survivors are okay with them. I do not think I'd be if I were one. I am kind of interested in seeing who uses them to cope with trauma, though. I've never heard of that.

In the US, rape is despised.

I would like to live in your version of the US.

And some rape survivors (like this one) are made anxious, made afraid, and silenced by rape jokes, so cut the bullshit.

There's a lot of lip service paid to how horrible rape and rapists are... until the rapists happen to be 'desirable' members of society, like a famous director or a bunch of teenager jocks. Then they close ranks protectively around the rapists and excuse them and shun the victims.
