There is something to be said that 80s movies and some movies/shows playing rape and sex crimes like it’s okay.

I believe both sides have good and bad sides, but I do believe that movie/TV show directors should get better forms of comedy other then sex crimes and rape tbh.

Reading through these comments is making me think of a study conducted by the University of North Dakota which found: “Almost a third of the men (31.7 percent) said that in a consequence-free situation, they’d force a woman to have sexual intercourse, while 13.6 percent said they would rape a woman. Setting aside the fact that it’s terrifying that a full third of a random group of college men will admit to this, the 20-point divide is still weird, even if it does reflect what’s been observed in previous research: At the end of the day, after all, the two groups are saying the exact same thing. So how did those who endorsed rape differ from those who “only” endorsed forcible intercourse? Edwards and her team found that the men who endorsed rape when the term was used had higher hostility toward women and more callous attitudes about sex. This might matter from a prevention standpoint. The researchers think that “men who endorse using force to obtain intercourse on survey items but deny rape on the same may not experience hostile affect in response to women, but might have dispositions more in line with benevolent sexism.” -Singal, Jesse. “Lots of Men Don’t Think Rape Is Rape,” The Cut, 13 Jan. 2015

[@magimerlyn9596]

How sociopaths come to be is actually quite fascinating, although rather dark. TW for mentions of child abuse Sociopaths are made when a child is continually abused, usually by a parent or guardian, up to around five years old. The child’s brain is on its beginning stages of development, when it’s learning about emotion and such. If a child is continually abused in that time frame, the brain starts to “turn off” the empathy. It’s a coping mechanism.

Jokes about the abusers are funny. Jokes about the victim are not. This is why i can laugh at this video as its making fun of the culture that thought it was okay but i don't laugh at the thousandth "don't drop the soap" joke i hear on tv.

[@BreezeMHill]

@@ryanjohnson2934 making the only criteria neccasary to make a joke funny being 'good construction' is a bit to narrow. While good construction for a joke is an important factor and professional comedians will focus on the littlest of wording in honning their joke to its fullest potentiall. Its not the only factor. Many people laugh at poorly constructed jokes just as hard as the finely tuned ones. The fart jokes that had poor set up and payoff, the terrible puns and dad jokes just because for whatever reason you find it hilariouse. Humors one of the most subjective things out their. However no matter how good the comedian it will be hard to near impossible for them to get people to laugh at a joke targeting a jew in a camp during the holocaust making fun of what their going through. This isnt to say they cant make jokes involving jews or the holocaust or rape, pedeophillia you can. And comedians have actually been important factors on getting people talking about this stuff by breaching boundaries no one else wants to touch. But the jokes that actually get big laughs aren't making fun of the man being raped like the "don't drop the soap" but instead at the rapists and the people ignoring the problem. This one comedy show i watched had an episode about sexual assault in the work place with the victims being male. But they werent making fun of the males if you pay attention the people being laughed at by the joke were the females who denied it happening. Who were being hypocritical. Reading the comment sections of clips of the show, was full of discussion of male sexual assault. Something that untill recently was never really discussed and people still have a hard time believing happens to males.

It may be nine years later, but the rule still stands. “Consent is not the absence of a ‘no.’ It is a sure and continuous ‘yes.’”

[@sub-harmonik]

that's a bad standard of consent for multiple reasons. First of all it should be reasonable to assume that a conscious adult who isn't being threatened and is aware of what is happening can say 'no' or 'stop' or 'hold on'. Secondly it's not as passionate in a lot of situations, and women and men often prefer spontaneity. Many many consensual situations occur that don't involve explicit asking as well, and to litigate that and make it on par with the worst crimes is wrong.

[@MatthewsBranchLine]

@@sub-harmonik Yes, I agree. But the rule still stands in both of those situations. If they are conscious, then they can say no. Even if they said yes before, they can still say no later. Even if it is spontaneous, they should be able/allowed to say no. Consent doesn’t have to LITERALLY be enthusiastic or verbal but it does have to be sure and continuous.

[@sub-harmonik]

@@MatthewsBranchLine then why did you say it did have to be enthusiastic and verbal? Also it being 'sure' is kind of begging the question if we're determining the standard and whose responsibility it is to communicate. Imo it makes sense to assume the person not initiating would communicate if something is unwanted in a lot of situations. (e.g. conscious and not being threatened or coerced)

[@MatthewsBranchLine]

@@sub-harmonik You are really over thinking this. BOTH PARTNERS should communicate. BOTH should be allowed to say no at any point, whether before or during. If they agreed, and continue to agree, then cool, everything is fine. If they didn’t, or they change their mind, and their partner goes through with it anyway, then it is not okay.

The problem with portraying rape as a prank is that you would have to frame the pranksters as bad people in order to not imply that rape is okay, and then it probably wouldn't be funny. On the other hand, that's kind of what this video manages to pull off. I mean this video is technically rape humor in that it's humor about rape, and it still manages not to treat the topic like it's anything but horrifying. Poisoning is another topic I also find is treated as "just a silly prank" too often. Giving people laxatives or imodium? Fucking with their GI? That's not funny; it's gross and sadistic. But even that can be pulled off if it's not treated with a wink and a shrug. Sunny, episode "The Gang Reignites a Rivalry", the end, the joke isn't that the people puking deserved it; it's that there's a bunch of sociopaths chanting "Flipadelphia" like nothing's wrong in the middle of it. With any sort of dark or shock humor, in order to not reinforce social apathy about the terrible, and by extent make the joke-teller a terrible person, the joke has to be based AROUND the topic being fucked up, not in spite of it.

[@GenericProtagonist7]

No one got their views on sexuality from movies any more than I got my morality towards wanton murder from videogames. No one watched revenge of the nerds and thought the nerds were the good guys unless they *already* held that stance before watching a movie. If fictional movies are shaping your world view you need to be sectioned immediately as you're a danger to yourself and those around you.

@@GenericProtagonist7 If you believe that most movie goers understand that, you’re very naive.

[@boomckickaboom]

@@GenericProtagonist7Its not about them getting their views on consent or defining what is or is not a sex crime from movies, its that the general culture of the time was reinforced by the portrayals of these things in movies. When situations we would consider rape today are treated as punchlines or “boys being boys” in movies from decades ago, it clearly shows how people thought about these things then. Someone wrote the Darth Vader mask scene in Revenge of the Nerds thinking that it was a totally cool thing for one of the “good guys” in the movie to do… and then young adults and teens went out to see this movie that had some horrific cultural toleration of criminal sexual behavior built into it. If media didn’t influence people it wouldn’t be an industry worth billions of dollars 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@kiah9085]

Everyone arguing if it’s rape or not kind of missing the point. They didn’t call everything in the video rape they used the term sex crimes several times. Rape is anything where sexual acts take place without informed consent, making the podium scene count as even if he didn’t say stop 1) he was unable to being in front of a crowd 2) did not agree to it ahead of time and making the dearth Vader mask count bc she agreed to have sex with a different person not him.

[@bignapolean3068]

They forgot to include bartering your girlfriend off, while she's drunk out of her mind, like in '16 Candles'.

A guy named pop culture detective made a video series called “ Sexual Assault of Men Played for Laughs” which covers a lot of this stuff and he also writes videos on more, for those who are shocked at just watching this video and want to know more details.

[@blaiseavey4090]

Also there’s this random scene in heathers where Veronica just casually meets up with JD while her friend is getting date raped in the background.

[@juanpauloarcillas7600]

To be fair, it's not portrayed as either comedic nor sensual. It's just the case of people getting fucked horribly and no one's doing anything about it, even if they right there. Also, both are only friends by association.

[@rachelcookie321]

Yea but heathers doesn’t show it as a funny prank. It’s a dark comedy. I feel like the whole point of heathers is to point out those sort of things are wrong.

[@jennamoyer9980]

I remember there was an interview with Winona Ryder were she was talking about how that scene was ment to be subversive and the fact that everyone just ignored the girl being raped. Heathers was really ahead of its time in a lot of ways.

[@snifferrr]

yup, watched heathers with a friend a couple months ago and couldn't believe that scene

The problem with these kinds of "Wacky hijinks" isn't so much that they're joking about rape, but that they're normalising it.

[@noirekuroraigami2270]

It was normalized. Bro we are developing as a society, and things that were ok aren’t anymore Sex is crazy IMO with wide access to sexual outlets that do not deprive of privacy. It’s no longer ok.

"he'll look like such an idiot!" 😂😂 I like how they summed up the 80's movie genre in under four minutes

[@eljefe8149]

This video got me thinking about why most people never questioned this in the 80s. I was a little kid back then. I do know that my parents never let me watch those movies, and my aunt who is a hard core religious person often spoke out about too much sex being shown everywhere. Maybe it's because there was no Internet back then and people couldn't bounce their thoughts off other people as easily as now But also it makes me think about how trusting we are of what they show us on tv. If the tv shows it then it can't be bad right. I wonder what else we just blindly accept, because we believe that the people showing us have our best interest in mind

[@drrockkso8882]

There's a great episode of Always Sunny where the gang goes to a fictionalized version of Chuck E Cheese to relive their childhoods. At first Dennis, Dee, Mac, and Charlie are berating Frank for complaining that all the racist characters the place used to feature when Frank was a kid in the 50 & 60s have since been removed. But as the episode progresses, they realize that the characters that THEY loved there when THEY were kids in the 80s & 90s are also gone, because they too are considered offensive now. It's a hilarious episode that explores how every generation has to deal with changing cultural norms and the realization that a lot of things you loved as a kid will have aged poorly.
