To think this is disgusting? [Content warning added by MNHQ: mentions sexual assault]

This was shared in a school FB group for parents, I said I thought it was inappropriate for the group since it's meant for discussing school related things.

For the record, I'm not offended that you find it funny. It's just not appropriate or relevant for a school facebook page.

@Rachelheels

I think it’s funny.

But I’m not a snowflake or called Karen

Laughing at being called Karens by someone who obviously doesn't know what Karen means

@Rachelheels

Tbh I actually thought it was quite funny.

26yr old female who has been raped here btw

Lighten up guys, I swear some of you look for reasons to be offended/upset

Really, are you a 12 year old boy? I'm not offended by it (why would I be?) but it's purile rubbish. Unless you find the initial thing funny I can't see where there' any humour

The thing is... Even if it wasn't offensive.. the joke isnt executed well and isn't funny. It doesn't even make sense. Like we all get what they were trying to do but it didn't work.

So all you're left with is something that isn't funny and is offensive. You can get away with being offensive if it's funny and if the audience isn't sensitive to the topic but obviously this wasn't funny and definitely wasn't the right audience.

@Rachelheels I'm not going to have a go off you. Rape jokes are never funny for any reason, really think about your sense of humour.

Its old they used it when labour were in power just change a few things, sorted

I rolled my eyes at @Rachelheels till I read

**I think it’s funny.

This is a horrible misogynistic attitude. You could have just said you thought it was funny, but appreciated that others may not. I've got a pretty dark sense of humour myself, but hope that I am intelligent enough not to start shouting snowflake and Karen at people who disagree with me. Grow up.

As long as it's not directed at a specific individual, and that would be bullying, you can laugh at pretty much anything.

Just pick your audience.

WTAF??
Vile and not even remotely funny.

Thank you! One more person on here with a brain, it’s not just me!

It's been going round for many years. Never was funny.

Appalling and actually quite triggering for rape victims

“Pick me! Pick me!”

You win, you’re the coolest, most unwoke person ever. 🏅

I’ve got a very dark sense of humour, don’t think this is especially funny but my god there are jokes a billion times worse than this.

I probably wouldn’t have shared it with people unless I know them well enough to know they wouldn’t be offended I guess.

It looks like something the man on our street who wears a union jack blazer would send round to our WhatsApp and everyone would ignore because it's so distasteful.

YANBU, I would also have called out any parent who shared this on a school WhatsApp and if I had them in any SM I’d be unfollowing to avoid being subjected to further crap like this.

@Rachelheels
Congratulations on being so enlightened you obviously wear your trauma, PTSD, flashbacks etc well. Would your survivor group or counsellor find it funny too? Oh wait you probably didn't need such intervention and just took it in your stride and laughed it off as just ' one of those things'. How clever you are to not let it turn your life upside down and those of your loved ones, truly an inspiration to be able to laugh at the subject now🤨.

Get help and if you have already...get more!

I don't mind irreverent humour but this is just stupid and not at all funny. It's also totally inappropriate to a school facebook page. If everyone spammed their personal sense of humour over every page they belonged to no one would be able to actually see the material they signed up for (in this case stuff about the school).

Not appropriate at all, anywhere. I'd be worried for the children of a parent like that.

It is clear that @Rachelheels is completely lacking in social awareness.

I also have quite a dark sense of humour, and enjoy the occasional game of Cards Against Humanity, but this post is simply puerile and extremely unfunny and inappropriate.

And, anyone with half a brain wouldn't post it on a Facebook group without knowing their audience.

@kindaclassy

Agreed. And , just wondering, why this is a ‘rape joke’ and not an ‘aids joke’ or even an ageist joke? You can’t get to be offended on behalf of someone else. You can only be personally offended. You can’t talk for other people. You cannot call for the workings of someone else’s mind. Be offended for yourself if you are offended. But don’t group people dependant on their personal experiences into a singular group and presumed thoughts and or reactions. You can’t do that.

Not funny or inappropriate. Don't know why anyone would post that on a school FB group assuming they don't know everyone in the audience that well.

I'm astounded that a rape victim finds this funny in the first place, then to tell others to lighten up beggars belief.

She's either lying or is just stupid

I don't personally find it offensive but I think it's inappropriate. If this is your sense of humour then send it to someone you're really close friends with and who has the same sense of humour. It's definitely not appropriate for a group of people who probably don't know each other that well. Also, I just don't think it's funny - not because of its content but because its just a shit joke.

It just feels like a way to say shock factor words repeatedly - like if I name a meeting BUM (business as usual meeting) and then ask people if they are going to bum. Just the words aren't silly childish humour but potentially triggering

I think it's an unpleasant thing to share with a group.
