Daniel Tosh's rape joke

[Gustaf]

I'm generally for all types of jokes, but that wasn't funny. As in, that's not a joke. It's just the kind of threatening comment a bully would make. It's sad when a stand-up comedian has to resort to that level to muster a comeback.

And, Dead, you can't seriously argue that an average woman should have to put up with jokes about her being raped but a professional stand-up comedian can't be expected to deal with someone not finding his jokes funny? He needs to improve his level or just take the abuse in dignified silence.

Ok, so how is that a cool attack? A comedian has to live with heckling every now and then. Suggesting a woman should be raped is not a proportional response. It could even be construed as akin to a veiled threat.

(women shouldn't bitch about sexist jokes, because then my fans will rape them)

Do you (or anybody) seriously think he wanted anybody to actually get raped?

Nobody should bitch about any jokes in the middle of a set, not because they might get raped, but because it's freaking rude.

No, but I don't think that's the point either.
