What the fuck, bish?
To compare to female rape. I'd like to know if there is a reason we view it as different at all.

George Carlin tackled this topic best:: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fwMukKqx-Os (not entirely safe for work).
It won't be a witch hunt. Everyone wants to be correct. But everyone knows rape is wrong. So if x is wrong. What's the point making a thread about x. Considering all you will allowed to say is " that is terrible" or explain how you relate to it.
Now watch more people judge others instead of asking why can't there be a solution

this video gets hella awkward
Very sad video.
Which is why i can't really say anything about the posts in the other thread. I find jokes about death pretty low and i can't see myself doing it personally, but at the same time i'd feel like i'd be lying if i said i didn't laugh at a few of the jokes in previous threads.

I'm glad that's what you took away from it.
As someone who found the OP video quite affecting I still agree with you.
I think the specificity of it helps. It primarily is a parody of How to Catch a Predator, secondarily poking fun at bro culture and the subject of rape is mostly only a mechanism to achieve that. If it was more general and targeted towards male rape I doubt I would find it funny.

Jesus at the last line, that hits hard.
Yeah, I'll reiterate what I said in the other thread. Who has ever found rape, even male rape, to be 'hilarious'? I don't know of anyone, certainly. I think the video attacks a notion that largely doesn't exist; I'm sure there are people who laugh at male rape, but that must be a small subset of even the most profound of idiots.
Male rape is more often used in comedy, sure. But that is more likely because it's considered less taboo, than it being inherently 'funnier'. And, even then, people aren't laughing at a man being raped but the circumstances with which the joke is told. Irony, subversion of expectations, things like that.

But not everyone knows what rape is. That's the crucial part.
Thank you. Now we can get somewhere with this.

I'm disgusted at the people who think this video is stupid.

... Quite a long list of people to ignore, I guess.
Also, those who are saying that the video is stupid, please state your full opinion.
Its less taboo as you say because people make a mockery of it. You mock it enough and people dont take it serious allowing you to continue to mock and make jokes of it. Men cant be raped after all because we are walking erections looking to get fucked every moment of the day.
Sure that 40 year old Teacher forced herself on him but its ok because he totally got an erection and even came so it clearly had to be a great experience for him.

Amazing video. Rape victims in general face far too many harmful stereotypes and dismissals, but the double standard that exists for male rape victims is sadly very deeply rooted in society. I hope more people see this since its rare to get the perspective of a victim of female to male rape.
It's 'less taboo' because it's not taken seriously. Male rape in prisons is one of the go-to jokes in our culture. Many people don't think it's possible for a guy to be raped by a girl. The general thought is that men always want sex, so there's no way a guy would pass up on it. The word hilarious may be just a bit hyperbolic, but it's not far from the truth.

The second post that first member you quoted made was far worse.

Let's swap the pronouns on it, just to see how differently it feels:

Have you not read the neogaf thread that others have posted over and over again in here?
If not, here it is again:
http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=510041
Read the first page of posts and then come back and make claims like 'but that must be a small subset', or 'Who has ever found rape, even male rape, to be 'hilarious'.
Seems to me like 80% or more of the comments on the first page found male rape to be extremely funny.
So again: Can you come back in this tread and make these same statements?

Powerful video. I wonder if more people knew the affect it has on men, would they do this? I bet the cases of this would be lessened. I bet the people who commit these acts believe "oh he's a guy, he'll enjoy this"
Guys do have feelings, this isn't stupid, and they don't deserve their innocence taken like this.
Over 200 posts later and still no reason. Either they didn't finish seeing the whole video (your attention span is really short. Squirrel.) , or there are some really cold gaffers here.

Damn, that hit in the gut. While watching TV, I was jerked off by an uncle (not directly related) multiple times when I was 12ish back in Saudi Arabia when the parents weren't at home. I asked him not to do it but you're not in power, felt wrong even though at that age you don't know why since sexual education is bad. Don't know if that was sexual assault or rape, but it's a weird feeling when your body likes it and your mind finds it horrifying afterwards. At the time, you don't know what it all means. It's something that sticks with you forever because you've never had such an experience before, and every detail is etched into your long-term memory. Thankfully, I became aware of its ramifications and had support from family so I remain sane about it.

It should also be noted that even in cases where the male victim clearly wanted nothing to do with it people will still play the "he should enjoy it" card if the rapist is attractive.
I recall one thread about a year or two ago (can't search and link it because I don't remember the title) about a drunk woman who approached a 12 year old in a bathroom and tried to have oral sex with him. He ran out before she could do anything and told his father. The thread was filled with way too many responses about how the boy was "stupid" for "passing her up" after someone posted a picture and she turned out to be hot. That was when the general reaction toward female to male sexual abuse cases changed from annoying to flat out terrifying in my eyes.

Just wanted to say thanks for sharing this. I know how hard it is. I was married for six years before I even told my wife about my own experiences, and I don't think I could ever really share them in public like you just did.

I normally don't empathize but that was fucking devastating.
Why?
My partner still has nightmares about what happened to him as a child, I frequently have to shake him awake when he starts screaming in his sleep. Each time I do it feels like a punch in the soul when I look into his eyes. I don't think the woman responsible was ever caught.
I was sexually assaulted by a girl at school. Nobody cared.
how are you going to have a metroid other m avatar where the lead character has a mental breakdown triggered by the sight of ridley and then say you hate that expression
lawd the incompetence is powerful
Disgusting.
All men have a feminine side. Modern society has gotten us all out of balance. I blame the Romans tbh...
Don't forget about manly tears too....
Not really surprising, in a society where having sex is strictly related to competitive gain of success as a (male) human being.
Sure we can argue about the weird double standard in response to rape (and that's totally fine to do) but the problem runs deeper within the structure of society, and i think ultimately what makes someone brush away male rape as either hilarious (in an humiliating fashion) or unimportant and female rape as something "breaking the goods", is the same sexist, deeply ingrained source.
I think the cultural change has to be very very deep, and that's what makes it especially slow and harder to achieve.

Interesting to note -
NPR's "On the Media" about Trigger Warnings
Trigger warnings originated as a way to protect the mentally ill from having anxiety attacks, but has since morphed into just a label saying "this is something unpleasant." The end result of this, is that it stifles discussion, and makes it more taboo and keeps a productive exchange of ideas that could benefit the topic.
That being said, erring on the side of tact is almost always the route to take, especially on a topic that is undeniably sensitive.
