Prison rape is a real and on going problem that has nothing to do with the LGBTQ community. In fact LGBTQ people are often the victims of rape in prison.

You are correct on both accounts. It’s still a shitty cheap joke who’s “humor” is derived from gay panic.

Yeah, it is.

So like, making stupid jokes about it perhaps isn’t the greatest way to, uh… raise awareness.

If it was set anywhere else I would agree.

It’s not the joke on it’s own. In fact there’s not much actual joke here. It’s showing the self fulfilling prophecy of the prison pipeline.

Could’ve shown it in a less rapey way. Like meeting a hostile gang or something?

I mean, were you laughing when you read the comic strip? I wasn’t.

Were you laughing at any of the supposed jokes with laughtracks in the clip I linked? I wasn’t.

I don’t the issue is either of us, to be honest.

But I also don’t think this was meant as a joke. Certainly nobody in the comments section seems to be laughing either.
