Rape jokes can be funny.... depends on the perspective you've got. I see your comment and I raise you Adrienne Truscott (look her up) and this wonderful George Carlin segment... https://genius.com/George-carlin-rape-can-be-funny-annotated

As always, what is 'funny' depends entirely on the relationship between the audience, the comedian and the subject matter. A blanket statement like 'rape jokes are not funny' doesn't give any credence to the hardworking creativity of both male and female comics who understand the line and who are prepared to dance on it.

Crass idiotic statements about rape done for shock value aren't funny.
