You obviously have a right to feel the way you do, but I've had several friends lost to suicide and I'll still laugh at a joke about it (if it's funny, of course). I'm also a survivor of abuse (not sexual, though) and actually seek out comedy about the topic and make my own because that's how I deal with it. That's how lots of people deal with it. Heck, maybe Darrienne is a sexual abuse survivor, but I don't think she needs to be in order to make a joke about it.

I just think people have to realize that the point to comedy is usually to deal with tough issues we don't know how to deal with otherwise. Comedians have been using jokes for years to confront injustice and tragedy, that's the whole point. If you research the cognitive processing of comedy you'll find that laughter is basically the mind's reaction to incongruent concepts being shoved together. It's a natural reaction. The comic's job is to point out these incongruities to the audience, and the best ones have done it to confront racism, sexism, homophobia, terrorism, etc., etc. because those things don't make sense, and neither does sexual abuse. People say these things aren't funny, but the fact that they are so outside the norm, so incongruent with how things should be logically, makes them inherently funny. The mind literally can't make sense of it. Some people respond by shutting it out completely, and thus never talking about it, and some people choose to confront it with humor.

I'm not going after you or anyone else, as you said you don't tell people what to do. I'm just trying to show that just because you lived through a trauma doesn't mean you, or anyone else, can't find humor in it. You say you've experienced suicide in your life and thus avoid the topic. Well, if you're going to do that then you're going to end up shutting out a lot of things in your life. For example, war is terrible, people die and are maimed, but Jon Stewart made a whole career out of basically mocking it. I don't know if you laughed at his comedy, but the point is every topic is tough for someone out there. We can't start shutting it all out. But if you don't feel comfortable or if the joke isn't funny to you, that's fine of course. I just mean don't think these topics can't be funny. Everything is funny. I cried for a whole week after Newtown (I'm a teacher) and then started dealing with it by joking about guns and America.

Anyway, I've rambled. I hope you get my point and that I'm not challenging you.
