Yeah... seems really childish.Luna said:Having that silly poll isn't really helping your cause IMO.SadakoMoose said:Just as I'll continue to post, retweet, and tweet this story to everyone I can until Tosh either apologizes or suffers monetary losses as the result of people no longer wishing to support him by consuming his product.Xan Krieger said:Where's a "yes" poll option? I thought it was funny and I will continue to watch Tosh.0 and any future comedy specials involving Daniel Tosh.
Glad to see that you'll stand behind a guy that thinks gang rape is funny.

Patrice Oneal really says it best
Also, I'm amused that all the people against rape jokes go right to personal attacks against anyone who would support a joke. Because clearly if you can find a joke about rape funny you're misogynist/sexist who mostly likely beats blind orphans in your basement all while drinking the blood of baby seals out of Old Yeller's skull, twirling your mustache and cackling...and you're probably a Republican.
Porky Pig and Elmer Fudd closing in on Daffy Duck as he drops the soap, to butcher and lengthen a George Carlin joke; your choice to be sensationalist is bad, and you should feel bad.SadakoMoose said:Just as I'll continue to post, retweet, and tweet this story to everyone I can until Tosh either apologizes or suffers monetary losses as the result of people no longer wishing to support him by consuming his product.Xan Krieger said:Where's a "yes" poll option?

He's not a drill sergeant. All she had to do if she didn't like the joke was leave.Iscariot6794 said:He's made a career out of being tasteless, and gets annoyed when someone calls him on contributing to a rape culture.
There is a difference between dealing with a heckler and being a person in power who is singling out a woman in a room full of men and saying "wouldn't it be hilarious if she got raped?".
No, it wouldn't be. That's not shock humor. That's just tasteless venom of a disgusting little man who has no idea how much power a person in a position of authority has over a room full of people.

And what's all this room full of men bollocks? Were you there? how do you the the percentage of men to women?
I don't even like what he said but the amount of people coming up with bullshit arguments against it is staggering.
It was a comedy night with various acts. Men and women both like stand up comedy. And some women are fine with jokes about rape, I know a couple that make them on occasion.Iscariot6794 said:Are you serious?Skipper zammo said:He's not a drill sergeant.

Do you really have to ask what the demographic of a man that jokes about rape might be? Especially considering the effect gender has on a persons chance to be raped?

This isn't about rape jokes and whether or not they're "okay" to make. I'm not the fucking humor police.Skipper zammo said:It was a comedy night with various acts.

Not you in particular - started the post before you posted. And definitely not just you haha. There are a lot of people ITT who like "dark" "comedy" but are apparently offended by a poll that isn't a 100% srs bsns attempt to gauge community reaction.Zeckt said:Well excuse me for seeing this thread for the first time.

This is about a guy being a tasteless and contemptible person, not because he said something with the word rape in it, and not because he joked about someone getting raped, but because he said something that was massively not okay in any context.
Think of it this way, people never fucking jumped down George Carlin's throat for making jokes about rape. Do you know why?
It's because George Carlin never made someone worry about whether or not three people might actually think it's hilarious to rape them.
To put it another way, Tosh wouldn't feel the need to apologise if he hadn't done something wrong, would he? A bunch of people, and I mean a fucking *bunch* of people have called him on doing something stupid. That's all this is.
Anyone who dismisses this as some chick heckling a guy and not being able to take it is missing the point.
Chicks heckle comics and can't take it when they fire back all the time. They don't make the news.
I wonder why.
Yeah okay, fair enough.Skipper zammo said:And like I said, I don't like what he said. It was wrong.
I'm merely saying that the arguments you used for why it was wrong were bullshit.
