It's true I get a bit of a rape-y vibe from the Love Doctor reading his virtual text.That's why I put "regardless the context". You don't do it in a professional context or with unfamiliar people, that's just manners, of course. I'm talking about the people who whince and visibly go up in heart rate at the words themselves.
I think you're overstating how much people curse gratuitously here. Maybe it's different in the German part. | | | | | yeah. in the german parts, even the young kids (7 or so) are swearing up a storm.

| Quote: | | | | | @The Love Doctor: Whilst you and others have argued that the picture was not intended to suggest date-rape and that it was just "a joke", (I believe you, hence I removed my groan), fact is I can see why others might not see it in quite that light.
Like @Cork, I generally find your EF posting style quite humourous and witty but not so on this occasion I'm afraid. Why? Because there are people out there who have experienced being date-raped in this manner and whom I'm guessing wouldn't find that picture funny at all, no matter the context.
@Phil_MCR/Assassin: I can assure you both I don't have a sick mind either.  | | | | | I think we're on the same side.
I cannot imagine any scenario where making a (Date) Rape joke would be funny.
I just found it depressing that so many people couldn't even recognise that it is a Rape Joke in a mixed, civilised forum like EF.
Thank God it is not an issue I've ever had deal with myself nor among those close to me.

Point taken, sorry if you are offended. Just remember it's just a joke, not the first or last one to be made online, and there are much more darker jokes out there. | | | | | | Quote: | | | | | Like @Cork, I generally find your EF posting style quite humourous and witty but not so on this occasion I'm afraid.

This: | Quote: | | | | | sorry if you are offended | | | | | Is not an apology.
An apology would look like "I'm sorry I offended you" ... apologizing for YOUR behavior. What you did was apologize for Cork's reaction.
Do you see the difference?

Mr. Phil.
You and I both know it is a joke about rape. I'm shocked at some of the responses given by others, who seem to get offended at the slightest drop, but yet defending the joke, which is distasteful and inappropriate at best.
Then again, you're the one who posted a link to a photo of naked breasts, penis and jizz, so I guess I'm expecting a little much in the propriety department.  | | The following 2 users would like to thank Peg A for this useful post: | | | This user groans at Peg A for this post: | |

The difference is the way I said it, assumes I haven't offended her, the way you THINK I should have done it assumes I already did.
I'm gonna leave it at that.

How do you fail to understand this as an indication that Cork is indeed offended?
How is it even a question? | Quote: | | | | | I Cannot believe you made and got thanked for a RAPE joke.
Seriously not funny | | | | | Are you playing at being obtuse - or do you need an IQ / reading comprehension test?

Oh, my apologies, I misremembered.
It's a photo of a woman with jizz on her neck AND a drawing of a sex act. You're right.
Still not appropriate.
