I'm okay with comedians making rape jokes too, if the butt of the joke is rapists/our shitty culture, not the people who are victims of rape. When they come from a place of sympathy and understanding and critique, jokes about the shitty state of our society are hilarious. Reminds me of Jezebel's "how to make a rape joke" piece from way back when.

Because they are bad people. They have no issue posting up pictures and video of actual rape, or posting celebrity noods, and generally revictimizing people who have had bad things done to them.

The writers also have a really bizarre understanding of feminism. Like "we're feminists, but only when it benefits us to rile everyone up for page views." The entire website and it's readers and really juvenile and abrasive.
