he’s going to get raped by a duck. that’s the joke.
rape is funny, right? The Boys said it was. “retarded” is back, rape jokes are back, who said time is linear?
Idk i generally agree but the joke here isn't really rape but more the subversion of expectations, the joke couldve easily been 'yeah i learned last week the magpie steals shit' cut to panel of their keys getting stolen, instead of them learning it through a book. The rape part is of course to heighten the shock value, and is thus more of a prop than the actual joke imo. So it's not like the underlying message is 'rape is funny right guys?', but i definitely also see the objectionable part of using such serious topics like rape as a comedic prop
Also sidenote, this is cyanide and happiness, that's kinda their whole thing
I mean switch the character to a woman and ask yourself if rape is taking a backseat to the subversion.
not my kinda humor and I get I’m the buzzkill here but uhhh, just wanted to state my feelings on the matter to maybe help some other like-minded person feel heard.
No no i getcha, should've maybe stressed the 'its still objectionable' part a bit more. All respect for being a buzzkill btw, that shit is often needed.
