This is completely nonsense. I don't think he should have made those jokes what 10 years ago? I don't see why not thinking he should be fired over them is virtuous in any way, though. This is assuming we live in a world where you're not allowed to joke about rape. I'm with George Carlin on this. gunplagirl posted... I brought it up because you said it was Disney incompetence that he got away with saying it as long as he had. As a follow up to their incompetence, they responded properly Nah. gunplagirl posted... And turning empathy into a pissing contest right after saying I don't get comedy because I don't "get" rape jokes seems counterintuitive and hypocritical. When did I ever say you don't get comedy because you don't like/"get" rape jokes? At no point in this topic have I defended his jokes, just the idea that he shouldn't have been fired for A) jokes B) jokes that happened before he was hired in the first plac You CAN make rape jokes, you can drink and drive, you can cannibalize your loved ones. You probably shouldn't do any of the above though, and you'll have only yourself to blame when your actions come back to haunt you. Yeah. And "I get jokes offend you" seems an awful lot like you're implying I don't 'get' the humor. It's tacitly implied that I don't "get" the humor of rape jokes. And it doesn't matter when he made the jokes, he didn't bother scrubbing them and it generated bad press for his employer. shrugs your paradigms seem a bit incompatible at times. --- Pew pew! <cite>gunplagirl posted [p:905431127] in James Gunn...
