Well, one's personal attitude towards rape jokes has little to do with their overall harmful effect. There are topics that hurt me like hell, and I hate hearing some particular types of jokes, but that's like?? A thing that happens to people? It doesn't mean that everyone should stop joking about potentially triggering topics (which include death, abortion, and other popular black comedy themes)?

I think you're still missing the key difference in jokes. I wasn't saying dark humor can't be good, or that everyone needs to stop making jokes at all. I'm saying it shouldn't be that hard for black humor to NOT just be an excuse to mock people for their pain. You mock the circumstances, the act, the bullshit excuses murderers and rapists make for their actions, you don't mock people just for having those things happen to them. I'm not exactly sure how I can explain this better. What I am saying is, black humor is great. But it's not just "lol being raped is funny, those whores"... that's lazy "shock" humor, NOT black humor. Black humor turns the darker parts of society in on itself and mocks it and uses its own awfulness against it. It calls the world out on its bullshit and has no limits in what it can mock. But it doesn't mock the people HURT by it. Just the IT.

I didn't say I was in favour of mocking people for their pain? I just didn't hear anything like this in Freeman's comment.

But black humour doesn't mean good black humour, either. Black humour is black humour. It may be very good and it may be spectacularly bad.
