idk maybe i don't need OP or lemmy if this is cool...

Prison rape is never funny. It’s traumatic, violent, and life destroying.

Sea-lioning replies justifying rape will be blocked.

People need to stop making prison rape jokes. It's not OK to joke about women getting raped, so why is it OK when its a man? I fucking wish more people cared about male rape.

[–] meliaesc@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

I don't care if it is this particular situation, regardless of gender. Not even a little bit. I hope for worse.

This actually made me sick to my stomach. I'm used to prison rape (and men being raped in general) being treated as a joke, but to see it in an ostensibly "progressive" movement was just too much for me. Especially since these are the same people who rushed to condemn violence after Kirk got shot. Where is your morality now?

Realise that the revenge you're praying for can only happen if the institution of prison rape, which predominantly victimizes queer people in men's prisons, continues to exist. If you find that tolerable even for a second... I just don't know how to reach you.

You are right. This is perpetuating rape culture and is unacceptable in a progressive society. That woman should be ashamed of herself.

I thought they were talking about locking Bill Clinton up with him, I didn't even realize the actual joke :(

So basically a rape joke. Remember when people had a meltdown when rape jokes were used against women ?

Where's the outrage ??? This is sick & disgusting.

Honestly Hope America rots in hell. What a sick society. Trump is seriously the best thing to happen to Americans. Revealed their true depraved nature.

Where's the outrage ???

I see a ton of comments from people upset by this. Yes, it is viewed differently, but in my experience, most people will realize why this isn't okay if you explain it to them.

[–] biotin7@sopuli.xyz 1 points 1 day ago

So I have to explain why rape is bad to them ??

[–] iamdefinitelyoverthirteen@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago (4 children)

Don't generalize all of us, please. Most of my state (WA) did not ask for this and actively voted against it.

But yeah, definitely agree about the rape joke. That shit is not OK.

Fuck this. No. This is so much of what's wrong with this fucking country.

No. Let's not reinforce prisons as torture camps. For fuck's sake.

Americans really have just normalised and relish terrible things happening to people in prison huh? Social programming is one hell of a drug

The "If Criminal, then Bad Person" and the "If Bad Person, then any Bad Thing OK" combo are pervasive in America, across the political spectrum, and have been for a while. At least since the War on Drugs started, and almost certainly well before that. It is frightening to have a conversation with a seemingly well-meaning, moral person and have them casually joke about prisoners being tortured, raped, or killed. I don't think it's an attitude unique to America but I think the private prison industry has had a lot to do with how incredibly common the attitude is that, if someone is in prison, they must have done something wrong, and if they did something wrong, any bad thing that happens to them (forced labor, starvation, sexual assault, death) is deserved punishment. It's ghastly.

Ah yes, the weird American fascination with prison rape as a form of punishment.

Sexual assault is funny, and rape is ok when it's happening to prisoners, clearly.

What kind of idiot still holds out hope that trump will ever see the inside of a jail cell

[–] taiyang@lemmy.world 24 points 2 days ago (2 children)

I like it because it's clever. It's still kinda boomer humor about prison rape but No Kings isn't about getting angry about something like that when we have a common enemy.

Plus who knows, Big Beautiful Bill might just be a lovely, swell fellow.

[–] Katana314@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

The kicker being if BBB is a big, friendly inmate doing his best to return to society, but his presence still comes across as torture to Trump because he's hispanic.
