No...no it doesn't. that is not how that kind of shit works. Do you really think that a rapist hears a joke and goes, AH HA! I knew rape wasn't bad. Even though literally EVERYTHING in my life says otherwise. This comedian made a joke AND I HAVE SEEN THE LIGHT!

no you big dummy because people are more complicated than that


but that doesn't mean it doesn't happen

Well I discussed this with a psychologist who said that things like that CONTRIBUTE to rape culture because, when repeated, it normalizes a rapists' behavior.

I know reddit had a thread a little while ago which was deleted -- it asked rapists to share their stories.

A psychologist also came in there and said that this was a bad idea because it gave rapists a platform and the possibility of finding support.

But I do think that someone who is willing to rape another human being might very well be interpreting people's responses to jokes differently than you or I.

So, yes, I do think it contributes. And I think men who call out rape jokes are doing good.

Well, contributing to rape culture would mean that the existence of a rape culture was an actual fact - which it isn't. It's a very much debated concept.

Now I kinda wish I could read that thread. It would be interesting to see what exactly drove people to do something like that (other than/more specific than the whole "getting off on power" thing).

[(Anonymous)]

It's discussed here: http://www.reddit.com/r/MuseumOfReddit/comments/1t1r2z/the_ask_a_rapist_thread/

But the thread was deleted.

damn.

that's creepy.

Oh and here's a thread by the psychologist telling reddit how dangerous the ask-a-rapist thread was:

"literally everything in my life says otherwise," on what planet are you living? yes, everyone is aware stranger-in-the-alley rape is BAD, but when things gets a little "grayer" and involve withdrawn consent, non-violent force, coercion, bribery, young teenagers, date rape, or any other kind of "muddy" area, the topic of rape is not treated with respect. and yes, hearing your frat buddies joke about running a train on the passed out girl in the bedroom and laughing it up with them over and over on this hilarious rape joke topic WILL desensitize them, and HAS desensitized society into thinking certain types of rape aren't all that bad or serious, or that the accused rapist's reputation is more important than the victim.

everybody yuks it up about rape and suddenly when that frat kid is alone with a passed out girl making a move on her doesn't seem that -serious- because after all, he's not a rapist in an alleyway, is he? he's not the bad kind, the kind you can't joke about. he's the kind that IS the joke. yes, joking about rape absolutely affects how society sees and treats rape and whether you want to believe in the specific terminology of "rape culture," something analogous to it clearly exists.
