Fuck you twice, dipshit–this is the Pit and if it’s too much for your dewwicate sensibilities then go back to the sandbox that’s more your speed. And if someone can’t get pissed off about children being raped and people making funny “jokes” about that then, well, c’mon COVID because there’s nothing worth saving here. ---

My sensibilities are just fine. You’re the one that can’t make a cogent argument, or understand a joke, so you fall back on your habit of going off the rails and calling people cunts all the time. ---

I wanted to get married and have kids. My life didn’t work out that way. Fuck you for trying to make me feel guilty about it when you didn’t even try yourself. Go back to trying to help others, not shame then. You, Pope Francis, are guilty as sin telling others to have children but opting out of it yourself. ---

😬 I think I vaguely remember a family member referring to the object on their ultrasound pictures as “peanut” or “little peanut,” but that stopped once the child was born. At that point, the family grants them an atrocious nickname, either based on something the child does (“Stinky”) or the hi-lar-i-ous mispronunciations of young relatives (“Holly” forever being known as “Hottie”). ---

To be fair, it was **RickJay’s** joke. > [@RickJay](#): > > If Catholic couples don’t have children, how’s a priest supposed to get laid I agree, it was not a very funny joke with its premise that children can give consent. **mordecaiB** is just as reprehensible for defending it, though. ---

I’ve been called cunt by better women than you and I’m just fine.

Poor **cochrane**. Am I as reprehensible as you are? I’ve never went to Giraffe to talk shit about Dopers behind their back, while you’re quite the poster there. If I have a problem here, I’ll deal with it here, not run away to Giraffe and try to pick up support to bring back here. ---

At best it’s a small step above get boned and get porked. Glad I’m not the only one. The complaints about the joke made no sense to me either. It seemed obvious that the _target_ of the joke (and the point of view of the joke) was a classic, predatory priest who sees nothing wrong in what he is doing and as such it was perfectly fine as a joke. The point is that the priest is so deranged that he sees what he is doing as the equivalent of “get laid”. If, in that joke, you exchange that term with “perform non-consensual criminal sexual abuse on minors” or similar, then it fails as a joke. ---

Yeah, if it’s your opinion that joking about rape is unacceptable, or that joking about child rape is, sure, that’s a reasonable perspective. But there’s no way that “getting laid” in that sentence implies the act was consensual. ---

> [@cochrane](#): > > I’m perfectly capable of talking shit to you here, motherfucker. I don’t need any flimsy pretext to start a board war. No, if you were capable you wouldn’t skitter away, like the cockroach you are, looking for support. Hell, you can’t even own up to making fun about Dopers behind their backs. Face it, you are a bottom feeder and it’s taken your whole life to get that far. I don’t see any sign you are capable of changing that. Now, why don’t you Pit me if you want, and leave this thread to people that want to talk about the original subject. And a little tip for you: try to spell my name right in the title. The last one of your ilk to Pit me couldn’t even get that right. > [@Novelty\_Bobble](#): > > The point is that the priest is so deranged that he sees what he is doing as the equivalent of “get laid”. If, in that joke, you exchange that term with “perform non-consensual criminal sexual abuse on minors” or similar, then it fails as a joke. Exactly right. If you overanalyze every joke, while looking for the worst possible motives of the joke teller, nobody would bother telling jokes anymore. That’s why I called this fake outrage. You have to totally twist the joke around to claim offense. And then you have to make yourself believe that the poster of the joke would post a joke about child rape victims. I feel pretty safe saying **RickJay** is not that guy. He’s Canadian, for Christ’s sake! > [@puzzlegal](#): > > Yeah, if it’s your opinion that joking about rape is unacceptable, or that joking about child rape is, sure, that’s a reasonable perspective. But there’s no way that “getting laid” in that sentence implies the act was consensual. Agree. Don’t like rape jokes? Absolutely fine. Twisting a joke around like a pretzel so you can claim to be outraged on behalf of child rape victims? Piss off. I apologize to everyone for participating in this hijack. I will not reply to any more hijack posts. **RickJay** didn’t need any defending, he explained himself quite well. And with a lot fewer words. Hopefully this thread can get back on topic, it’s been an interesting read. ---
