What are they even trying to say with the second example...

What the hell is the context for NS2?

I believe they're snippets from a fanfic in which Snape's slow, definite way of speaking is shown by having hyphens in the middle of his words. The OP finds this an amusing example because "pen is" has become "pen-is".

Was I the only one who thought it was quite clear?

Op said it was annoying, I'm sure the specific sample was chosen for that reason, but it's more a general thing I think.

OP here

Yes, it's fairly prevalent throughout the fic I used as an example.

I was wondering what they were on about with that second example. Not sure why a d would randomley be there.

I think it's a cut-off "and."

I'm pretty sure that's a cut off word like 'and' and the full text would be something like 'Be-silent-and-follow-instructions!'

Do they really? I haven't seen this show in a while (at least five years tbh) but I don't remember a lot of rape jokes. The ones I recall against males were usually just said so they could have someone else come in and talk about how inappropriate joking about it is (you know how they always have those mini debates in episodes where one character is picked to sound like a total OOC dickhole so another one can righteously swoop in and set everything straight). I do remember a few prison rape jokes though that seemed played straight, which was kind of annoying

sa

Going back to the prison rape joke thing, I do remember one episode where Olivia joked about a criminal getting raped in prison as she arrested him. Later in the season (or maybe the same season) the guy got out of jail and tried to kill Olivia because he really was raped in prison and was convinced that she set it up and she was like "Uh, fuck, maybe I shouldn't joke about that anymore." I don't think it really stuck though

This.

Most of the "jokes" that I can remember were portrayed not as correct, but as realistic in how cops would act. Then, someone else would come in and show how wrong that is. It's a fine line between realism and idealism.

I stopped watching CSI because of the almost pornographic attention to detail in one episode about murder and rape. It was my personal tipping point.

These crime shows trade on the viewer's willingness to enjoy horrific acts and view them as entertainment, even though they pretend to be all about catching the bad guys. Law and Order and their ilk are the modern day version of going to the gallows to see people dangle until they're dead.

That's why I stopped watching Criminal Minds and won't even touch the show Stalker

Stalker is surprisingly good tho

It always bugs me when fic/stories are written in accents (for example, New Orleans). Once you tell me what the accent is, I get it, but when you "write" in that accent, I find it incredibly distracting.

Those dashes would drive me insane.

So I read that with Alan Rickman mental voice. Pretty amusing.
