The E3 rape joke, which can be found on youtube and other sources using google

That debacle about a year ago where a drunk girl was passed around at a party by a bunch of guys and raped, and the news constantly victimized the “boys” and blamed the victim for being drunk

The fact that people argue constantly that “it’s just a joke” or “That’s not rape at all”

But that isn’t the problem here.

The problem is he’s completely getting the concept of ‘rape culture’ wrong by saying it applies to law, when it’s a term that applies to culture and media.

When he says stuff like this:

“To what groups, should “rape culture” be implied or assumed toward? In my eyes, it is criminals found guilty under the law that commit the act of rape.”

I get incredibly upset because it’s completely void of the point. Rape culture is about media enabling and encouraging the idea of rape either being okay or not being a thing, where normal, everyday people assume it’s okay to joke about it or to victim blame.

It has NOTHING to do with criminals. It has to do with a society that practically breeds rapists and tells women they aren’t allowed to report their rape without being shamed, hurt, or called a liar.

So what he was saying was that it’s only rape if you get arrested? That’s messed up.
