.....this year? It's one of my favourite shows but I'm not sure if I'm going to watch it.

@CherryMaDeara I've not been caught out thanks .
It's my interpretation of the joke. I don't find that it mocks rape.

They are quite clearly protesting the idea of being called a rapist by using humour which is the nature of the show.

You have been caught out and you’re squirming.

😂

Now I know you’re minimising rape.

The old ‘it was a different time’ trope.

It was the late 2000s, hardly the 1950s. Doesn’t make rape jokes acceptable.

Not even going to bother to respond to that. Awful.

In what way? Do you mean rape was ok?

So you’re admitting it was mocking rape?

What's awful? That I dont appreciate your rude aggressive manner? Telling me how I should feel?
Calling me a liar and that I'm squirming that I've been caught out?

cuddlebear · 20/09/2023 19:42

This thread is such a pile of nonsense.

CurlewKate · 20/09/2023 19:42

@CherryMaDeara "They will literally try and argue the sky isn’t blue to minimise rape jokes."
Yep. Depressing, isn't it?

Swearing at people when they haven’t sworn at you.

@Childcarequestionn I think @CherryMaDeara is bored and will argue anything rather than accept that others are entitled to a different opinion.

This thread feels like a desperate attempt to grab some of the RB drama into OP's own life. It's tenuous at best.

SequinsandStiIettos · 20/09/2023 19:44

Currently RB's sexual assaults/rapes are also still alleged. Occam's razor may say it's a slam dunk and the reporting meets Reynold's criteria/Defamation Act, nonetheless there has as yet not been an arrest.
There has also not been the massive influx of allegations following the documentary (as there was with Saville). There has been one subsequent allegation reported on Sunday. This lays him open to four charges in total (rape(oral), rape (without a condom), attempted rape and the new assault allegation).

CurlewKate · 20/09/2023 19:44

@Childcarequestionn "If it's just about you personally what the fuck did you post a thread for?"
You do struggle with reading don't you? If you'd finished my sentence you would have seen "and was wondering whether anyone else feels the same."

You’ve been her sidekick I thought you agreed with her?

I didn’t say you inferred rape was ok. You asked if I’m denying it was a different time then. I asked you to clarify did you mean rape was ok then.

misssunshine4040 · 20/09/2023 19:45

@CherryMaDeara yes I swore at you as you have been blatantly rude and arrogant about my views.
You haven't even been able to debate them in a civilised manner so down to your level I stooped.

Oh you’re entitled to your opinion. Just don’t misrepresent the truth and expect not to be challenged.
