Trauma jokes

My friend: "Ess, stop with the self-harm jokes it's not funny."

Me: "C'mon it's not that deep."

I got raped by my therapist... now I know where the name comes from!

Rape jokes aren’t funny. People like me that are actually victims of rape are triggered by them.

I'd tell a joke about my abusive dad, but I only remember the punch line.

Someone asked me, "What are them scars on your arm?" I thought I was playing a violin.

I was asked at school to draw a line across the paper, but instead I showed them my wrists.

I SH so much, even when I die and become a ghost, you can see red stripes floating around the room.

Hey guys. I just wanted to say, while I think some rape jokes can be funny, not one of these are. In fact, I find them pretty horrifying.

I was raped when I was fourteen (about six years ago), and I have made one rape joke in my entire life when, last year, I said "I don't fuck with rapists, I just get fucked by them." I thought it was funny. No one else did, and they were probably right in that.

My point is this: rape jokes CAN be funny when they are used by victims as a way of coping with trauma. They CANNOT be funny when they are made about raping someone else. Even if there is a difference between joking about raping someone and raping someone, it is absolutely disgusting to think such a horrific crime is funny, and I am sure at least some of the posters on this page have already crossed the line into committing rape.

Great material for social scientific research, though, gentlemen. Really well done.

"Wanna play the rape game?"

"No!!!!"

"That's the spirit!"

Dark humor is like a cancer, it's funnier when a kid gets it.

"911, what’s your emergency?" I asked, listening to the quiet sobs of a little kid on the other end of the line.

“I think my daddy want to kill me,” the girl said and cried, making me freeze on the spot as I recognized my daughter’s voice.

Why did little Billy drop his ice cream cone?

Cuz he got hit by a bus while crossing the street.

Why don't molestation victims speak up about their trauma? Because it's a touchy topic.

*School shooting happens*

Foreign exchange student: *Sobbing under desk*

American student: "First time?"

How are school shooting victims and school shooting jokes similar?

They never get old.

A boy and his mother survived a car crash.

The boy asks his mother, "Was that like how I was born? A hard smash?" The mother replies with "More like an accident."

What can you say to make a rape victim feel better?

"It will be over soon."

I wish my dad was home. I haven’t seen him since the shot of 2008.

My arms are just a different texture pack compared to my body.

It's not rape if you're both crying.
