The Onion jokes about Rape (triggering)
Posted: Wed Jun 20, 2007 1:13 pmThis is a link to a humor/satire video from The Onion (online humor magazine). It is a hurtful video, because it is joking about rape:

People use "satire" or "humor" as excuses to say that kind of garbage. I hate it when people think rape is good "satirical" material. Something similar happened at Central Connecticut State University, where one of the college newspaper editors wrote an editorial called "Rape Only Hurts If You Fight It". We have similar problems at the school I graduated from--- school journalists and comic-artists joking about sexual violence.
I was happy to meet people from the National Feminist Antipornography Movement who feel the way I feel about the movie Borat. Some people call the movie "satire", but I think it's a movie that makes it excusable to laugh at foreigners and laugh about prostitution.

"It is a beautiful moment in the book, full of raw, raw honesty and I think I would be doing you a disservice by not letting you discover the magic yourself."
