okay but like you wanna make rape jokes but just realize that cosby told a rape joke about drugging women in 1969 and everybody laughed like please let that shit sink in the next time you wanna defend rape jokes thanks
[Source including the joke in question]
By laughing at that joke, Bill Cosby’s audience was telling him it was okay to do what he did, for many decades, to countless women. Think about that. Think about what your laughter or silence says to the next person you hear telling a rape joke; think about what your laughter or silence says to the people listening around you. Fucking think about what ideas you are reinforcing by letting that shit slide.
Laughing at a rape joke is telling that person that you understand that they find the suffering of others to be entertaining, and that you also think it is entertaining. You are actively encouraging that person to devalue and rape women.
