Re: If this is in regards to the joke,

[elialshadowpine]

It's probably not going to make anyone go out and rape someone, no, but IME, I find that people who joke about rape do tend to take it less seriously. It's desensitization, basically, and I find that a problem. My partner, who is genderqueer but regularly misgendered as male (and my partner, at this point, hasn't the spoons to argue, so just deals with it) is in a male dominated field and calls out the rape jokes. They have noticed an appreciable difference in how seriously the men who have been called out (and who respond thoughtfully, vs. being a douche about it) take rape afterwards. It's anecdata, yes, but I'm not sure there's much in the way of studies on this anyway.

(I should note that I am talking about rape in a generalized stance. These guys would probably be furious and horrified if somebody dear to them was raped, but they would blow off news articles, shrug their shoulders, not give a shit about horrific crap like Steubenville and other similar examples, which are way too fucking common. But after being given a talking to about their rape jokes, they started to take things more seriously and recognize that, hey, there's a really big problem here.)

I don't think Martin Freeman is now an "OMG horrible person FOREVER" but I think that his joke does contribute to people taking rape in a general sense less seriously, and I am disappointed in him very much for that.
