Well, Monsieur de Lioncourt, please keep me aware of your deductions of the abyss. I would be fascinated to hear your findings. Au revior

It still surprises me that people defend their right to laugh at rape, because I know in essence you probably aren't a bad person- but when I hear you saying your right to "dark humor" and to normalize and victimize survivors like me, your right to have a laugh is more important than my (and 1 out of 6 of all women who are raped) right to feel safe, I wonder. I'm not going to defend my right not to be triggered, not to hear the worst part of my life made into something for a chuckle- but if you are really interested, this article is short, to the point, and has links to learn more. I won't be back to check this thread: http://psychopixi.com/politics/rape-culture-why-rape-jokes-arent-funny/

I took your advice and made an account! And as a biracial woman who has been sexually assaulted, that was a really satisfying trip through the comments. I feel better now. Those of you who stood up for survivors like me made my whole day, thank you. I hope you see this and know your words mattered to me. Peace (-!-)
