An easily-confirmed observation
May. 20th, 2012 03:34 pm1. As an discussion of social injustice continues, the probability that some asshat will throw in a rape 'joke' increases.
2. If the discussion involves police brutality, infiltration, or the prison-industrial complex, the probability approaches unity.
3. If you try to use a rape 'joke' as an argument, you lose one internets.
4. Although there are many contexts where the argementem ad Hitlerum is appropriate, for example the ways those seeking war are responsible for the atrocities inherent in war, or the ways those supporting national-chauvinism are just plain wrong, I have yet to see any context where the argumentem e stupro is ever appropriate. If you use it, it just makes you look like you belong in the SCUM Manifesto instead of in this world.
