That's incredibly creepy.
There's a thing called self-restraint. Sometimes there are some things that you really shouldn't joke about. Like joking about a guy's opinions on movies when he's trying to demonstrate something important about an important subject.

It was emotional. I dont know if it was scripted or what but I understood the point. When his eyes started welling up toward the end, it got me. It was the look on his face that subtle changed trying to look happy, but the eyes told the story. Prayers go out to anyone who has to endure that male or female.

The video is incredibly powerful and makes you realise that things like rape are easily trivialised, but you all need to get off your high horses a bit and remember the context of this thread is very different to the one posted last year, or the Remi video. In a different context those things are funny, that's how comedy works.

While it's true that I constantly wander the earth in search of things to make me angry, that was just dumb
I agree, but and if this was an in-person thing, I would not have interrupted him. But it's not. His video's been made, it's been posted, and his point's been made. If someone wishes to make a joke about part of the content of the video, now's the time to do so.

Very impressive monologue, and heartrending if true.
I couldn't make it through the whole thing. :|
So they put in the same effort as the OP

I'm irritated that there's nothing "sincere" about it. I mean, I get that's the point, but I really dislike the use of the word "sincerely" repeatedly when the result is anything but. The whole video would be the same without it. Stupid nitpick, I know.
Don't think the OP made an assertion and then failed to explain or defend it, but do tell me more.

That ending is sad. It's horrible how often this subject matter is trivialized when it involves a male being the victim.
sooooo you can upload rated R movies with tits onto youtube now?
Attarintiki Daredi is a Tollywood film, and is not R rated.
Pretty sure OP at least watched the video, which those people didn't do.

We don't really need people making jokes about a video on rape. Thanks for trying though.

I don't think I'll be able to stomach watching the video, but I've seen the gifs.
I know I can't.
I become an emotional wreck from Lifetime movies on the subject. And yet I still make rape jokes with my closest friends. Even men that have been victimized themselves still make the jokes. Or at least in my circle. Three out of the four definitely have, and the other has made insinuations, but never felt comfortable to come out and say. And I wouldn't push anyway. That's a personal minefield. One wrong step and you can find yourself someone you don't even recognize anymore.
I'm glad this kind of thing is becoming more common. We can't keep hiding behind the thin veil of masculinity. Not on this subject. Being vulnerable is a hard thing for men to do. Men must be stoic and suffer in silence.
Screw that... if I want to cry to a Lifetime movie, the death of Starbuck, or Buffy's sacrifice I'll do it. I don't care who is watching.
But then again I think I should have been born a woman... so... I'm probably not the typical.

The same people?
I think the reason people, including me, get upset at that thread is because a mod is the one making light of it, which implicitly condones people making light of it. Were the same joke made of a female victim, would that fly or be considered in too poor of taste and result in a ban? Do people even make fun of female rape victims, or the situations of their victimization, like happened in that thread?

People talking shit about the video should check in their I.D's. This hell hole is over 13 only.

I feel terrible.
God damn, I know I've posted the "Niiiiiiiiiice" comments on threads based around stuff like this before. Ugh.
My best wishes to anyone that has had to go through this. It's no joke.

Some of the responses here are really upsetting. Not to mention that old thread link going around.
Felt very shitty at the end. Seeing him trying to hold his composure while obviously in a lot of pain.

I remember I would always get shat on by people when I went into "guy gets raped by woman" threads for saying it isn't a matter to take lightly.

Awkward to watch though a fictional story based on his apparent experience when it was 12 that's got an agreeable point of the double standard when it comes to the attitude towards the subject. Thirteen is still a fucked up age group for that to happen.
But sorry, the old "Bro Rape" To Catch a Predator parody is still funny though more from the parody part.

Most people still have a hard time looking past the physical meaning.

Incoming Patricia Hernandez Kotaku article proving she only read the title.

Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.
I don't think I'll be able to stomach watching the video, but I've seen the gifs.
The most awful part of the video isn't in the gifs, so that's probably for the best.

Or is it just one of Phil's balls in my throat?
That was a very powerful video.

I doubt the data exists to answer this question. I don't really know what the point of the question is though, to be honest.

Well that went to places I wasn't expected. Kudos on the thread title though.... It almost got me, and that's probably the point.

Heart breaking... it makes you realize how deeply this can hurt people if you've been lucky enough to avoid it yourself.

I was about to turn it off 20sec in because dude's voice was super annoying but I'm glad I finished it, he really gets his point across later on. It's a shame the rape of your boys by women is so trivialized in the media.

Watched 40 Days and 40 Nights yesterday and for a braindead romantic comedy it was a weird twist to have the
main protagonist getting casually raped by his ex-fiancee who broke into his apartment. Followed by him having to apologize to his new girlfriend for getting raped. No consequences for the ex-fiancee. The End.

This makes it's point well and I empathise with the dude and but I can't stand this style of delivery, it's way too hacky, practiced & annoying.

Probably some overlaps with the people who insist on posting things like "nice" in those threads where a female teacher raped a student.
Yeah... I wonder why this is such a difficult topic to bring up as a guy. Oh look, admin-endorsed jokes about it.
This is a sensitive subject for me, so I think I'll stay away as I've done before with threads like this, even though attitudes in this thread have been better thus far.
I think attitudes will get better as more people talk about it and with videos like in the OP. There will still be a fair share of hand waving, eye rolling, and "lulz people just need something to get upset at, I suppose" style posts/thoughts.
I can see a younger version of myself making "jokes" in a thread like that. However, it wasn't until I really thought about it and read a well written blog post on the subject that changed my view.
