When it comes to humor, it's difficult not to offend anyone when making a snide joke or a sarcastic statement. However, there are certain boundaries that humor shouldn't cross. We live in a culture where the majority condones rape and blames the victims of sexual assault rather than their perpetrators. Sexual assault is nothing to laugh about. If you're getting tired of hearing about it, it's because we're tired of dealing with its damaging side effects. Rape isn't something that goes away or can be healed with medicine: it leaves lasting emotional scars that will effect a victim for life. When your viewers turn on the television, can you live with yourself knowing that somewhere a victim of sexual assault is triggered by the rape joke presented in the show? That person who is struggling with the after effects of sexual assault doesn't want to have to be reminded of what happened when watching a television show that's supposed to be funny. It may be posed in an ironic fashion, but the truth is, the extent to which the seriousness rape has been belittled is contributing to the proliferation of rape culture.
