Obscurus Lupa: The Uncomfortable Subject of Rape Jokes
Been seeing a lot of this going around in light of recent events, so I thought I would address some of my views on this and some of the viewpoints I’ve been seeing.
Before I begin, let me preface this: Rape is a horrible thing. There is no other way to see it. This is in no way meant to make any…
I don’t know the entire story regarding Spoony leaving the site but I did see the comment he posted towards JetsuOtaku. It was completely out of line and I do think Lupa had a right to say something about it.
Look, rape is not funny. The joke that Spoony made was not funny. In fact, it was very uncomfortable. If he was fired for the said joke, then I would think that is still stupid seeing he apologized. However, judging from what Lupa said, it seems as though Spoony has made comments like this in the past (or has just been acting creepy with other CA contributors).
And for those accusing her of “white knighting”, shut up. Lupa is entitled to speak her mind in regards to this issue. We aren’t contributors on TGWTG. We don;’t know what’s going on that site. So, don’t get all high and mighty with her if you don’t even know the entire story.
