So, you never laughed at the way someone died in a film/game/book even though a soldier in real life might have died that way? You never laughed at a racist joke? You never laughed at a stranger's misfortune?
You are either a liar or a very humorless person. since you are a member of this site, I'll assume the former. With you being a hypocrite, I politely ask that you stay away from me and everyone I know.
I don't know what it is about people misunderstanding how different words are different, so let me make this abundantly clear:
Rape is different from murder.
Rape is different from killing.
Rape is different from racism (which, by the by, is also never funny).
Rape is different from injury and misfortune.
If you still don't understand what I'm saying, Jim Sterling has spelled it out for you [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/videos/view/jimquisition/5972-Rape-vs-Murder].
Generally speaking, most of these are not humorous in most situations.
But rape is never funny.
And hypocrisy does not mean what you think it means; for me to be a hypocrite, I'd have to be yelling at you for telling rape jokes, then telling rape jokes. I'd have to be doing the thing I'm telling you not to do, not doing a different thing. It's like calling a conservative who's against gay marriage a hypocrite because he married a woman; while similar, it's not the same thing (granted, I'd still not associate with him, hypocrite or not).
While I am considered somewhat odd in my humor, I don't think I can be labeled humor
less; etymology, for instance, is often hilarious.
