Rape culture is a setting, as described by some sociological theories, in which rape is pervasive and normalized due to that setting’s attitudes about gender and sexuality. Behaviors commonly associated with rape culture include victim blaming, slut-shaming, sexual objectification, trivialization of rape, denial of widespread rape, refusal to acknowledge the harm caused by sexual violence, or some combination of these.
I don’t see how their comment would be described as any of these. Perhaps one could read the joke as listing “rape” as a some simple, necessary credential for politics and, in doing so, trivializing rape.
However, the subject of the joke isn’t the rape nor the victim, but the rapist Clavicular and the administration, referencing how many of the current administration have sexual assault accusations against them. The joke doesn’t downsize what he did or apologize for it.
I am genuinely not seeing how that bolsters or perpetuates rape culture.
Edit: and you just tried to insult me instead of answering my question about what you meant by this
Yeah, we all know that the manosphere is closely related to the fascist cultural moment we’re in, but you know that isn’t what you were referring to.

Lol, “if you consider the joke about rape to be making jokes about rape, to be making jokes about rape, to be making fun of rape. It’s fine if it is the rapist, who hasn’t been raped, is being made fun of for maybe getting raped because it isnt making fun of the victim, just victims [hypothetically]”
I wouldn’t bother. This person is likely foaming-at-the-mouth levels of angry and unwell, and appears to be having an argument with themselves that they’ve plucked out of thin air.
I would bet they simply misinterpreted things and thought this was a “ha ha rapist will be raped” thing. But that’s what happens when you go through life with conclusions and work backwards…you get it wrong a lot.
Has happened to me too. But typically one doesn’t double, triple and quadruple down.
I’ve been trying a new thing where I outright insult people less, especially when it seems like they are trying to do/be good in a way I’m not grokking [it was a word before Musk, and I still like it].
Man, I miss calling people “fucking stupid” off the rip, sometimes.
That would exceptionalize them. These are just run of the mill 20s-40s liberal men, that’s why it’s just shit like this and then like, opinions on the new KDE updates.
Surely “Lemming” would be the most appropriate title, then? It emphasises the groupthink and circlejerking that is even more prevalent here than in other, more mainstream, online spaces.
Lemmyite admits that rape culture is incomprehensible to them since it lets them make a funny.

Are you just not capable of speaking like a normal human being? They asked you a question.
