P.s. Fanky Boyle for some reason finds "rape" funny.
Eveything is funny when joking, in action not so much.

Why hasn't anyone made a daft joke about Shepards epic struggle against the Rapers yet?

After a rape joke, you say '' I don't get it. Please explain.'' Shuts them right up.

Get off your high horse you are not the voice of society.
Ever go out? Or see a comedy act? Let me give you 1 example of many.
John Mulaney is a comedian with an act called "New in Town" in this act he makes a rape joke. The watered down version of it... he is in a subway at night alone with a woman and she starts walking faster so he walks faster thinking the train is coming. Ultimately they end up in a sprint before he realizes she's running from him because thinks he is going to rape her. Believe it or not people laughed at this, people which includes victims of rape and people who know people who have been raped.
But why was it acceptable to laugh at?
1. The girl in the joke was fictional.
2. She did not get raped in the joke.
3. Their was no intent to rape in the joke.
4. John Mulaney never advocated rape.
It was funny because their was never a real threat and played on a male stereotype and misunderstanding that could happen to just about anyone.
So...
Did the original post that sparked all of this...
1. Have a real victim? No, it was a fictional character in a game.
2. Did this fictional character get raped? No, she was merely trapped in a corner.
3. Was their an intent by the other fictional players to rape the Quarian? No, they just trapped her in a corner.
4. The OP never advocated rape. He just told a story about how some other party used a rape term online when they used to other characters to trap him in the corner creating a stereotypical situation with 2 large menacing figuring trapping a small female.
Rape is a sensitive subject but you overreacted in this scenario. And I am not saying that as someone who is ignorant to the trauma of rape.
No, you get off your damn high horse and stop speaking to me like I'm an idiot. Your example of showing how rape can be viewed in comedy does not prove that the majority of society doesn't view rape as a sensitive issue.
And when THE Bleeding f**k did I overreact to all this? You're the second person to accuse me of doing so, when I already specifically stated in my post to you last that...
I.
Don't.
Care.
im saying they realize how immature the joke is if they're asked to explain why rape is funny. Guess YOU didn't get it.himohillo wrote...

And since when anyone has explained any of the jokes? That's like asking the secret behind the magic trick.
You get it or don't, simple.
If it offends you, too bad, move on.

You know what there is also a problem with? Getting around the language filters by putting spaces between letters of words people KNOW they are not allowed to say.
Recalling something, as bad as it is, isn't bannable. But taking measures to deliberately circumvent a feature to make this site a PG environment is,
From the Code of Conduct: 3. There is a zero tolerance policy on any form of abuse towards staff, moderators or other Community members.
I'd say this post is in breach of that. Who's the user posting? Oh right. You.
You lost your moral high ground the day you started using four letter words at other members of this community. End of.
EDIT: And this. And this.

Hell, let's talk about how walking dead is going to rock when the mid season break is over.
Also, Someone does get raped in the comics. Maybe the OP can get all panies-in-a-knot about that at the amc forums.
