              there’s dark humor and then there’s fucked up humor.

              I’m sure there are plenty of people who make edgy racist jokes and THINK they are dark, when in reality they are just racists glad to have a label that lets them express their vile attitudes under the guise of ‘It’s just a prank bro’.

                It being fucked up is why it’s funny. Loosen your grip on those pearls and have some fun. It’s a lot more enjoyable than getting offended all the time.

                  Why don’t you go find a victim of rape and ask them how funny they think it is.

                  The only reason you chudmuffins find it amusing is that you have been fortunate enough not to have you or one of your loved ones experience it.

            I’m not trying to be mean, but if you think that then my advice is that you should probably block this community. S&C is an extremely cursed webcomic, and the people who read it usually believe anything, no matter how horrible, can have a joke made out of it.

            I think it’s personally reasonable to be put off by that kind of humor, but you shouldn’t go around telling people what they can’t enjoy when they’re not hurting anyone else.

        Why the fuck are you on this community then? Do you realize it’s about a cursed webcomic explicitly made for people who like fucked-up humour? Just block it

      The thing you seem to misunderstand is the difference between a joke, and the subject of a joke. The latter is of course not funny. But no children were harmed in the former.

        ‘jokes’ about rape certainly harms rape victims by making it easier for society in general to dismiss their claims of suffering.

        Just like back in the 50s to 70s where wife beating jokes were so normal they were said on family TV. In fact the ENTIRE premise of the Honeymooners TV show was about the implied threat of spouse abuse. Because it was considered ‘normal’ and joking about it was ‘normal’.

        No rape joke is funny, and harms rape victims by making light of their suffering.

          I think this is definitely true, but it doesn’t just blanket apply to any joke that mentions these topics. Jokes where people “pretend” to say sexist or abusive ideas, but the joke is that “I’m actually a nice person, I obviously don’t really mean this” (eg “no means yes, and yes means harder, amirite guys ;-)” or “if there’s grass on the wicket, it’s ready for cricket, lol”), can definitely be harmful even if not many that way. It normalises those attitudes, and can make abusers feel like they have more support from society than they really do. But in this comic the character comes across as a psychopath, proudly announcing something that is clearly wrong, and the other one calls the police. I don’t feel like anyone is getting some message that actually it’s totally normal to have sex with ten year olds…

      It’s funny to me that this is down-voted more than the highest up-voted comment.

      Wordplay is funny.

      Go do something with your angst like defeat Voldemort or join the dark side.

      Funnier than the 10 year old girls locked up in my basement for sure. They truly have no sense of humor.

      What is funny? Jokes are weird to think about, but it generally relies on setting up an expectation and then surprising us in some way. Here it’s that when he uses the phrase ‘a perfect ten’, we assume he’s referring to a highly attractive (adult) woman, then in the next panel we see he means ten as an age, which gives our brains a little stumble, a mismatch between the pattern we were expecting/predicting and what happend. For some reason, this little thing of setting up am expectation then subverting it tickles our brain in a way that makes it a joke. Having the reveal also be a topic like child rape that is so taboo and so unacceptable just increases this effect of how unexpected it is, this is generally what ‘dark humour’ is going for (works for some people, for others it just takes it too far, to where their emotions/associations about the bad thing far outweigh any humour, and put them into a state where they’re not really able to find anything funny). Anyway, you don’t have to like it, but it seems pointless to try to argue that certain subjects are not suitable for jokes. Some people like these jokes, you don’t, and that by itself doesn’t make either of you bad people.

      Don’t bother, being ‘edgy’ is the thing now.

      No rape joke is funny, none of them, not even the ones where it is the ‘evil other’ getting raped.

      All it does it make actual victims’ suffering less socially impactful.

      But the internet doesn’t care, because edgelads will edge.

      I fucked this girl the other day.

      She gave me herpes.

      How the hell does a nine year old get herpes?

      I think my sister has been spending too much time with Dad.

      (I’m not a child molester, but by your logic I’ll end up as one)
