This might be the article in question: http://jezebel.com/5925186/how-to-make-a-rape-joke

Personally, for me, it's not even about "OK" or "Not OK." It's just that I think the best comedians are making insightful observation/commentary on the world, and if your observation/comment seems to side with the perpetrator and not the victim in this kind of situation, then I probably don't think it's very good.

I don't see Freeman's joke being that different from Louis CK's joke, except not as extreme = not as obvious. Sometimes it's difficult to tell irony when nowadays people more or less use "spoiler tags" for jokes; [okay gonna joke now] controversial opinion [/joke].

I think the difference (at least to me) is like, context? Louis was a) In the middle of a set, and B) has, as the article says, long established himself as someone who is on the side of the victim in basically any situation. Freeman's joke came out of nowhere, and since he's kinda known for saying some dodgy things, it feels different.

(Thought I don't actually have strong feelings about Freeman or his joke one way or the other. But if it was meant to be like Louis CK's I think it failed, at least for a lot of people. Mostly because it was so random.)
