  • No it isn’t. At no point is rape the punchline here or even mentioned. You are making a leap on your own accord and then blaming the comedian for your personal thoughts.

    The joke comes from the situation where white men typically live in a world where people do not have power over them. In prison, that changes. The joke is not “haha rape”. The joke is “The tension you are causing women constantly with your harassment you could compare to the tension in a prison where you are at the bottom of the totem pole.”

    You are the one who decided to take it that extra step, add rape and then blame the comedian. You’d have to actively make an argument to try and convince someone that the punchline is rape which, just in doing it, simply strengthens the point that it isn’t.

    Oh it’s not a game I’ve ever called bad (or maybe I have in a fit of nerd rage, but never meant it), it’s just a game that has never appealed to me after my first playing of it. I loved Fallout 3 because it allowed me to get my rocks off on one specific thing I love. Exploring a fucked up, post-apocalyptic, dystopian world. I loved sifting through the rubble and going into places no human has set foot in for a very long time. Exploring. Fallout 3 offered a lot of this. There were scattered settlements and a couple big cities but mostly just fucked up areas with monsters and secrets.

    Then there was New Vegas. I do need to play it again to enjoy it for what it is, because I did enjoy it for what it was when I played it a while ago. I was just resentful because your options for exploring desolate areas are pretty far and few between. Most locations on the map have people already there of one faction or another or just a straight up town with bars, shops, etc. It is a great game for building those connections and the questy stuff and I do enjoy that type of game. But I was so hoping for more of the exploration that I got so let down I’ve just been avoiding the game ever since.
