Apoplexy posted:The joke isn't at the rape victim. It's that someone is making an ironic joke as though someone would make a joke at a rape victim. It's not what you think it is at all. I laughed extremely hard at the notion of Nick mocking her going YOU WANNA KNOW HOW I GOT THESE EMOTIONAL SCARS?! It's possible to tell the difference, recognize that some (or you yourself) find it funny, and why others might not find it funny at all.

I genuinely don't get how you could look at that and not immediately recognize it's a joke. Like, there's really no other way to interpret it?

CortezFantastic posted:It's two things: one, most of the people on left twitter were sharing molestation stories and poo poo involving men for the last few days, and two, Josh is a comedian and a podcaster, but also DSA LA co-chair. If the DSA is a serious political group, it needs serious leadership. It shows a lack of judgment on his part to think that would fly, especially knowing his audience and being a chair. It's just incredibly tone deaf. And it wasn't even a good joke! Oh, well that makes far more sense and is totally understandable. Much more helpful than yelling about how it's bad timing with 0 explanation.

Famethrowa posted:man, I'll take people mildly criticizing a bad joke that made them uncomfortable any day over a bunch of nerds flipping out that their precious podcast hosts got owned online. I'm going to assume most people who dismissed it at first thought the criticism was coming from the same people who got pissed about the whole "bend the knee" poo poo and had no idea about the surrounding twitter context (or at least that was the case for me). When the actual, like, context is explained I think you'll find a lot more people will side with you.

Yeah, the Cosby star thing is a really good example of something that isn't too big of a deal alone, but with all the context factored in is pretty bad

Human Tornada posted:No matter what the context is, why would three public figures all think it's a good idea to take a picture that will live on forever where they're giving the thumbs up with a big wide grin next to a plaque honoring a notorious serial rapist. What's the upside of having that out there? Two seconds of thought should tell you "nah, not worth it." Yeah, in reality the tweet didn't need anything other than the picture of the star. The 3 guys posing may have worked for comedic effect if one of them wasn't in an actual important position in an important part of the current leftist movement, and if it was done at literally any time other than when a lot of people were sharing stories of abuse and sexual assault on twitter.

That said, under capitalism there will be no way to protect their potential coworkers and also provide a satisfying answer to "how do we make sure the guy can still make a living?" So all that can really be argued is which you find more important.

ZenMasterBullshit posted:It's okay cuz I think at the end of it all you just you know you sign a petition and that fixes all your personal problems. see working in the system worked it's all fine in the end. God the ending in Persona 5 is just a loving sad sad wet fart To be fair the thing that actually gets you out of prison is the group finding the woman who the bad guy originally assaulted and convincing her to testify on what actually happened. The petition scene is just one dude (who throughout the game was portrayed as a loser) doing something. Although it was dumb still especially with one character coming out of their entire experience with "I wanna be a cop and change the system from the inside!"
