why rape jokes are bad

why rape jokes are bada powerpoint presentation by tumblr user verifiedcoolgirl

• by telling rape jokes you could be triggering someone

• you could cause an anxiety attack or unwanted memories to come back by mentioning it

• by mocking rape you are promoting rape culture

• this makes it seem less serious and more of a joke, therefore making it more acceptable to rape and ‘not a big deal’ especially if you are a well known comedian or have lots of influence over others in some way

• rape is a unique crime and cannot be compared to dead baby or murder jokes

• attempted murder victims do not have to worry about ‘asking for it’ or being told it’s not a big deal

( i am not trying to justify jokes about murder and homicide)

rape jokes: just don’t• you could trigger someone• you are promoting rape culture• rape is a unique crime and should not be

compared to dead babies
