No you do not. He was in no way being aggressive towards you. Nice attempt though.

You know what I do when a post, or poster, is on I have decided to ignore? I ignore them. What I don't do is make a public proclamation about how pointless they are to converse with.

What's the intent behind such a post? Is there any valuable information displayed? Serious discussion? Positive contribution? To me, they always come across as marking the subject of the post as "other", not worth conversing with, part of the out-group. One thing humans do well is stigmatize members of the out-group. We laugh of them, deride them, and make snide comments regarding them. All of that is aggression.

However, if you have some alternative reason for making such a post,

I do like that you singled out my posts instead of the 4-5 others that called you out as well.

I responded to any posts that had not been covered by a previous response. In particular, the proper response to 242, 244, and 245 was covered in 241. In addition to your 243, I responded to 246 and 247, because they all said something not said before. I have no reason to single you out.

I'm surprised you're singling out the rape comment and didn't jump on the thread title which clearly makes light of death. Real mature, UGLI (umm, tbcath, doe).

We don't have a culture that rountinely minimizes death, and its considered rude to go up to mourners of a recent death and blame them for the death. By contrast, we live in a culture that minimizes rape, and its very common to blame the rape victims and their friends after a rape. So yes, I reacted to one, and not the other.

What if someone gets raped to death?

Do we make fun of the rape or just the death?

Usually you'd cry a bit, get a little drunk. Go to work. Enjoy the Winter break. Try to not think about it.







And then enough time passes where you forget about it, and you decide to renew those Utah Utes football season tickets.

No one was talking about harming women sexually, One Brow. Well, no one but you.

Your saying that if they were talking about real rape, that would be awful, but since they were just comparing the similarities between winning a basketball game and rape, there was nothing awful about it? Say, just like when a left-wing-nut compared Bush to Hitler, or a right-wing-nut compares Obama to Hitler, there is no stigma attached, it's just a metaphor?

Comparing winning basketball to rape trivializes rape, in the same way comparing Bush/Obama to Hitler trivializes Hitler. The difference is that Hitler is gone, but rape is something people face every day.

What's the context for this? I don't read every thread on the board.

Rape jokes are rampant on the internet. Though I'm surprised the reaction to being chastised on it has been stuff I usually see out of the 16-21 year old male chauvinist online communities I'm associated with at times. Mocking exaggeration of being sensitive to rape jokes (filling other threads with faux exaggerated restraint or unrelated comparison to other subjects {death, in this case}) and the like.

But I still would like to see the context.

Generally, not "make fun of", but certainly, minimize and blame the victims. 'He shouldn't have been in there'. 'She shouldn't have imbibed that'. This is much more common with victims of rape, even those subsequently killed, than with murder victims.

and why does it make a difference whether the victim is killed subsequent to the rape rather than during the act?

I believe the term is sodomy.. maybe tbh

I suppose when my foot goes halfway up his butt hole it would technically count as sodomy, but I think you're just trying to make a joke about a very serious problem with society.

Sodomy isn't funny, and it will come back to you in the end!

I haven't seen where it does. I should have used something along the lines of "in addition to". Thanks for the correction.
