Rape = Not funny!
Hello there. Just need to Rant a few things, that i've been seeing in my school and around. I'm not upset about anything so dont tell me to calm down, when its my own opinion. I dont say that when its your guys' opinion. I hate when you guys take everything the wrong way with me. so what i cant say my own opinion without everyone mad at me. sorry for stated my opinion i have a right to you know.
okay here it goes.
You guys all know what rape is right? good okay so i dont need to get the info on that.
Now on to what i was going with this. Lately like when i was still in school and stuff. A lot of my old friends would make jokes about Rape, and laugh about it, and sometimes i see it on here. It really ticks me off that some people would even joke about it. I dont know what is so funny about it, but its really sad that they do.
I mean really...Immature people that dont know nothing about it. They think its funny until it happens to them. (me no never been raped so dont worry). I dont know many people on here nor at my school has this ever happend to them, but I do have respect for the ones that has happend to them. I mean most of them are really nice people. They would love not to see anyone joke about something so serious.
I advise you guys (the ones that do) to stop what they are doing before they hurt someone's feelings. Because really its not funny. Its nothing to joke about. What if that happend to you i know you wouldnt like anyone to joke about this. Right? Pfft I know i would. Its also hard for them to get their life back on track too. its hard to trust anyone, I also advise to be nice to everyone. Dont joke about it, cause really Rape is not a funny issue. If you think it is. Then go die cause your really being immature and being a jerk to those who's lives are ruined.
People say its just joking with friends and school jokes. But really joking about anything serious like this and or other serious subjects. I mean really how immature can you be. sorry if you all think i take this too seriously but someone has to. To me my best bet wouldnt be joking around with it at all.
I'm truely sorry if i offended anyone in anyway in this Blog i wrote was a rant that i've seen lately and need to get it out.
Thanks for reading it. It means a lot to me.
Also thanks for your guys opinions ^^ i do appericate it too. ^^

I agree with you. My brother jokes about it all the time, and I just wanna smack him across the face, because it's so horrible that he would even say something like that!! But he's still young and really doesn't understand the seriousness of the subject. I can't really trust men myself, Because my ex step Dad would do sh*t to me, I'm very flinchie, and stuff... it's hard for me.
I just can't stand it when people joke about it. But some people have different opinions 'bout what helps them through it all.
Good blog tho.

Jokes are a way to make people feel more comfortable with serious issues. And any joke, no matter the topic, runs the risk of being offensive. So should we all give up joking, so no one has to deal with their feelings getting hurt?
I have a lot of respect for people who have gone through things like that, and if it was ever brought to my attention that my words, however lighthearted, were offensive to an individual, i would stop without a thought. But i refuse to censor myself because there is a possibility that someone would be offended. -shrug-

hmmm...i can understand when someone jokes about something serious but sometimes people take it to far (not talking about anyone here).
pretty good blog!

''but i think that you have to be raped in order to appreciate a blog like this.''
...no.

sometimes jokes can lighten things, but i think that you have to be raped in order to appreciate a blog like this. as a matter of fact, if you make jokes around a victim it does hurt. it reminds us of the time(s) that we were raped. yeah, you can joke about it in private with someone else, but you really shouldn't touch such a delicate subject in public where every person surrounding you could very well be a victim.

Rape is silent. And i think the government should try to trap it from the hands of epidemic. Its the most dapraved act of human exploitation. Its immoral, its catastrophic for the victims mindset and well being. And the people who joke about it are immature, niave and very much damaging to already 'paper thin' teenage culture. Good blog Rain. Informative and very well structured.

No. And I also never said that it's a way of copying for everyone.
That's the way I coped with getting raped.
I made fun of my problem.
Not anyone else's.

You're right, it's not funny when it happens to you. I would know.
But I suppose people look at it differently, seeing comments below. You can't expect everyone to fully agree on this topic, apparently some people don't mind joking about it.
I know it's something that ruins your life, and stays with you forever. You can't just brush it back and forget about it. Some can get overly- sensitive and just freak when they even hear the word. Others, I guess just don't really care what other people say.
With me, it's just something I ignore. I think "How the hell would you know what it feels like?" Then just let them joke and talk all they want. I mean, it ruins you, it really does.
But people can get over it, even though it may not leave you, you can still live every day life the way you want. It can teach you that some people just can't and shouldn't be trusted. But I suppose, again, different people- Different views.
Which is why I don't appreciate the "lighten up" comments. Because she's viewing her opinions and you should respect it. I'm sure Rain will respect your views, also, but just be nice about it, huh?

I totally agree with you Rain. Its not a laughing matter.Its very serious.But OFTEN those people joke about it who don't know what its like to be a rape victim.They don't know the pains a rape victim has to suffer.
I hope your blog knocks some sense into their blunt heads.
She Haunts Me, July 15th, 2008 at 02:07:42pm
"I suggest you calm down."
Why would you leave her a comment saying that, when she specifically asked not to get that comment. Are you trying to provoke an argument?
Joking may be a way to cope for YOU, but you have no idea how it may effect someone around you based on what they have been through. It's insensitive.
Kurtni, July 15th, 2008 at 12:44:39pm
I never said I don't respect her opinion, now, did I?
Joking about it is a way of coping.
brompton cocktail., July 15th, 2008 at 12:07:13pm
i agree it's not something to joke about, but it happens. people joke about death too. is that funny...? i agree with you, but people who have never had to go through that probably don't realize the pain.
i'm scared to death of rapists. i never go out late at night alone and such just cause i'm terrified of that happening to me.
princess consuela, July 15th, 2008 at 11:43:04am
Hey people back off.
She's giving her opinion on it, she respects ours so we respect hers. Stop being so f*cking petty about it. There's nothing you can do to change her mind. And somehow, I agree with her- some of the comments people make are bang out of order. but you know sh*t happens.

People have tried to rape me .. twice.
I joke about it, okay?
Why? Because it makes an awful situation like this lighter. The pain is less and the emotional wounds strat closing up.
I suggest you calm down.
brompton cocktail., July 15th, 2008 at 11:15:44am
Everyone has a system where they try to cope with certain situations. Trying to lighten the situation, or perhaps trying to comfort the people.
I know someone who was raped, me and a few other guys found the guy who did it and gave him a good going over. People made jokes and she laughed about it because she knew it was their way of trying to make her smile about it. Taking something good from the bad
