	Further down there is an exchange between "Me" (not "me") and "Mixmaster" which results in a non-sequitur that made me giggle and wonder what seat I am going to have in Hell. Protip: announcing that you laugh at rape jokes won't win you many friends here. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	it is actually the odd juxtaposing that made me laugh. I found it slightly uncomfortable that the rape mention was in that, hence my comment, but rape doesn't make me laugh. The idea that something so unrelated was attempted as a follow-up did. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

I get what you're saying since I sometimes laugh as a nervous reaction to things. It's not that I think an appalling subject is funny, it's more "oh my God, did they really say that?!", you know? Or if, as in this case, when a comment comes out of nowhere and is really absurd, I'll laugh and wonder what they're talking about, before realising what they're talking about. Anyway, sorry to make it all about me, I just kind of get where you're coming from, that's all.

Thanks for being so classy about the entire issue, it's much appreciated :)

	I hope the edit helps. I honestly did not intend for to come across as laughing at rape. I worked too long in the psychiatric field for something like that. (plus there is an odd personal story involving having someone try a bit forcefully with me one time...I get the not funny, trust me.) (Reply to this)(Parent)

	Are we going to need a hereabouts "we don't laugh with misogynists, we laugh at them" awareness week? There's been way too much of that stuff going around. (monkeyarcher: not saying you're a misogynist, just saying, there seems to be a general lack of cluelessness about this stuff running rampant lately) (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Er, general lack of cluefulness. If that's even a word. (I think I'm going to bed now) (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	if I can use uncomfortableness, then clearly cluefulness works for me as well. (Reply to this)(Parent)

	thank you. I really didn't mean for that to come out the way it did. I am sorry for any uncomfortableness I may have caused. (Reply to this)(Parent)

Had pointed out to me that my clarification didn't really make it better. My roommate understood what I was trying to say, but it very much did not come out that way.

Also had pointed out to me that there is a better comm for this post, so I have moved it. Bad judgement call on my part posting it here.

I am sorry about the misunderstanding and any uncomfortableness I may have caused.

	Thank you for understanding, and for not wanking up a storm when criticized. I hope it gets a good reception at UFB. Personally, I love fannish entitlement wank (it's a shame this one veered so quickly into unfunny misogyny and rape humor). (Reply to this)(Parent)
