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".
