lol, "rapist" is a personality trait?

And there's nothing witty whatsoever in the situation you describe. People have been dressing up in ambiguous costumes and then declaring themselves something "crazy" or "off the wall" probably since Halloween began. It's not original or cute, it's predictable and lame.

Aw, nuts.

There goes the rest of my last minute costume ideas...

Somehow or another I went to edit something in here and deleted the who fucking thing.

Deal with it.

I'm quite certain I understand how comedy works. And I have no problem with joking about horrible things; in fact I'm virtually un-offendable (although admittedly, easily annoyed).

However, throwing the word "rape" around willy nilly, and then thinking you've discovered the secret of brilliant comedy just reveals one to be, well, simple.

We're not saying it's brilliant, high-class comedy. Doesn't mean it still can't be funny.

I'm detecting that someone in Compass' life was a victim of a rape and so there's a little bit of "Argh" in the posts.

Anything can be funny to someone somewhere. Doesn't mean it actually is.

When I was seven, the babysitters teenage son talked me into sucking his dick in trade for some Hot Wheels.
I think that's pretty funny.

Whatever Icurasfall's experiences, it's not like he speaks for all rape victims either. I know women who've had their life pretty much screwed over by rape, and wouldn't find someone showing up to a party all "Hi I'm a rapist" to be the least bit funny. It's largely about context though...the reworded Spider-Man comic about "Rape Dollars" was pretty funny, and no one usually bats an eye to getting "raped at Halo" or whatever either...I'm sure among Rich's friends it was sufficiently funny and no one was offended.

However, for next Halloween, he should go as other such deceivingly subtle personae as "Child Molester" or "Animal Abuser"...after all, it could be anyone!
