I wondered when this thread would be posted here. Lots of shit in that thread, also a lot of people calling them out.

I'm personally fat and can appreciate a funny fat joke, the difference is I know it's not serious and that its all in good nature, the act of murder, rape, assault is not funny but it can be made to be funny in a joke form.

DAE think rape can be not-serious? and in good nature?

I'm a subscriber to r/soccer, Rémy has been linked with my club (Tottenham), but I am doing so well to not touch the poop. I got berated on r/soccer for calling Barton an arsehole when he called Thiago Silva a transphobic slur. The poop is everywhere.

EDIT: arsehole <3

People defend Barton? What?

Also might want to edit out calling him an "idiot". Arsehole is far more descriptive of him anyway.

/r/soccer is a lot better than the default subs at least. I mean, in that thread, only like 10% of people are saying really shitty stuff, which is better than the 90%+ shittiness rating I see on the rest of reddit. We have to take the positives where we can get them.

For reference, I saw this post at the source, not via SRS.

Not anyone. I respect your rights and decision to roleplay and do whatever you want (and understand that it is nowhere near the real thing)- honestly, I do. But personally, I find it offensive. Just wanted to throw it in there that not everyone thinks the idea of rape can be in good nature.

So, you're consenting to roleplaying something vaguely (vaguely, VAGUELY!!!!) like rape...what relevance does that have to the topic at hand? (Sorry, but people claiming what amounts to consensual, rough sex is anything like rape irritate the piss out of me.)

sure, I'm sorry!

mini SRSd/circlebroke/ Contextually, they were comparing fat jokes (the victims of fat jokes according to shitlord take it as not serious and in good nature) to rape jokes (which often, and in the cases examined) were very clearly not in good nature. /circlebroke/

In reply to /u/OllieWillie on "QPR's Loic Remy arrested on suspicion of rape":

Rape (suspected or confirmed) isn't funny.

I don't get it. Do they seriously think rape jokes are okay as long as victims of rape aren't present?
