    Rape is a serious crime and jokes about it are part of the culture that encourages and enables it

        Because Lemmy was drunk when he went to bed with the chick and couldn’t consent, obviously!

        I got a lot of down votes, but ^ is exactly the point. A man being raped by a woman is so far outside of everyone’s thoughts that it doesn’t even cross their mind when seeing an image like this. But the same joke with genders reversed would get people with pitchforks.

        I don’t think there was any actual rape here, as the comedian considers these encounters consensual. Which is the important bit factually. But if you couldn’t even imagine interpreting it that way then maybe you should think about why not?
