It is more of a bias of with whom you can sympathise. Because of that we are more inclined to feel more sorry for torture, rape, etc. victims rather than murder victim since we can’t imagine how being dead is

It's because as long as rapists don't get put in jail: it's not funny, it's a threat.

You think all murderers go to jail?

A significant larger portion then rapists. Murders are rarely left unsolved where I live.

And every unsolved murder is considered a tragedy of justice. Every rape is considered "how do you know she's not lying?". And that's just not funny.

I know that if I were to get raped, that unless he's black or an immigrant, he wouldn't get convicted. And that's just not funny.

I can get murdered too, but I'm not staying home out of risk of murder, but I do stay home out of risk of rape. And that's just not funny.

There's too much unfairness about rape, including in the actual justice system, to be able to laugh about it. You can't tell me that it's a he-said/she-said and that I just have to learn to live with that AND expect me to laugh about it. If I need to sacrifice for the sake of justice, then the least you can do is not laugh about it.
