DA

The difference being that in our culture death and murder is a serious charge, whereas rape is often brushed off or told that the victim was somehow responsible and asking for it. If rape were taken as seriously as murder and other violent crimes I think I would have no problem hearing jokes about it, but as it's treated with a lack of seriousness in real life seeing people make jokes basically backs that up and pisses me off.

Also, I know that death jokes happen but I've got to say that dudes tend to joke about rape (and specifically how something is not really rape, like drugging someone) more than they do about death or murder. But maybe I'm just seeing the wrong off color jokesters.

"in our culture death and murder is a serious charge"

Nah, not really.
Depending on who is the dead and/or who is the murderer it may not even matter at all. The same goes for many violent crimes.

You know some kid just got off for killing four people with his car because he was too rich? Yes. That was the actual reason. It is called "affluenza".

Yeah but all the jokes I've seen about that are rightfully mocking that bullshit, not laughing at the dead people and how "it's not REALLY murder". It WAS murder, and we all love making jokes at the killer's expense because he's a little shit that deserves it. That's also how rape jokes should be approached. Mock the rapist, put him or her on display, show the world that all their excuses and defenses are bullshit and they should be called on it. Those are the best jokes.

Yeah I agree. I hate jokes that make light of the act of rape itself. It's kind of gross when you actually stop and think about it.

jokes and satire should side with the victims, not the assholes

Wait, but "murder jokes" are 99 times out of 100 not "making fun of the murderer." For that matter, they aren't even jokes. "God, I want to kill my boss" or "go die in a fire" or something - you can say they aren't serious, but neither are the vast majority of rape jokes. I'm not seeing the difference here. Murder is not necessarily taken more seriously than rape (and most rational people do consider rape to be a horrible crime). If both are terrible crimes, I don't even see why we have to compare. If you're against rape jokes, you should be against murder jokes, too. That, or "rank" them (as you said, the joke might be funny if it makes fun of the rapist/murderer), or just accept that it's black humor whether or not you like it.

A figure of speech is not a murder joke. Saying "I'm going to kill that SOB"
when you're angry at someone is not the same as joking about the actual act of murder

IA 1000%.

Also, can I just say that someone saying "go die in a fire" would freak me out more than someone who'd say "go get raped"? When I was seven there was a fire in my apartment building in the middle of the night and by the time we realized we couldn't get out by ourselves-- we had to wait for the firefighters. My twin died of smoke exhalation and my mom has burns all over her arms. It's been 12 years and I'm still not over it. I freak out at the sound of sirens and don't get me started on actual fire. I won't even cook.

Do you know how many people's homes are destroyed yearly because of fires? How many people die? A LOT. And yet no one bats an eyelash when someone says "go die in a fire" or "go burn in hell" or whatever.

Rape is terrible, I know that and I get it. But there are millions of other things that are just as bad or even worse (it's different for each person, like me, who'd rather be raped than burned alive) and yet they're taken lightly and joked about and no one gives a damn because "there's no culture for it".

UM

You haven't been seeing many jokes, then! You know that "knockout game" that's so popular now? Well, you wouldn't BELIEVE the jokes I've heard about it. Things like "that old lady shouldn't have landed on her head then, lololol" and etc.

I've mostly heard women brushing it off or telling jokes about it. We're definitely hanging with different crowds.
