I used to feel obligated to laugh at rape jokes. As someone who takes pride in having a healthy sense of humor, telling someone to censor him or herself wasn’t my MO.

“I understand that the doctor had to spank me when I was born, but I really don’t see any reason he had to call me a whore.”

I’ve known some straight shooters in my time who told some sketchy jokes.

Before I get into why you shouldn’t make jokes about rape, a summary: don’t. Don’t do that.

In today’s edition of “the internet is a terrifying place,” we have a rape joke that has reached viral status.

Consider this: When you tell a rape joke, the only person laughing along with you is the rapist himself.

“Who’s Martin Scorsese?”
