I'm at a loss for words, I simply can not express how pleasantly surprised I was at Pewdie's recent post about not making rape jokes anymore. Good on you, Pewdie.

Quote from ChibiZoMbiE: “I read through the entire post you made, and I will simplify what I'm trying to say. It's all a matter of context. One person can take something one way, the other person another way. Yes, rapists are going to think it's okay because of their psychological condition, but it is not something that we can simply cater and change. It's kind of like trying to keep a person from ever looking outside. The only way to do that is to lock them in a room or a box with no openings o…

Quote from ChibiZoMbiE: “Where does he say anywhere in his videos "You should rape someone?" Just because something including rape is involved in a scene, a book, a movie, etc, does not mean the person is making it socially acceptable. Take for example The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo. There is a rape scene included. Does that mean the writer automatically is making rape out to be socially acceptable? Most certainly not.” Did you not read the thing that was linked in the text you quoted from me, …

Quote from LordVoldemort: “That's not what I said c: I have no problem joking about murder, rape, suicide and so on. It's more okay to joke about rape with someone if that person hasn't been raped. Do you understand what I'm saying? Cause to me it seems that you don't. And I haven't said that you can not express your opinion. :)” I understand what you're saying. That's why I'm telling you, people are actually quite often the victims of sexual assault, and there are most certainly rapists in PDP'…

Quote from LordVoldemort: “I meant that if the person that got raped stands next to you, it might not be a good idea joking about rape, unless that person is okay with that. When it comes to videos the viewer have a choice to watch or not to watch. <:” So, after someone does get raped, it's ok to make terrible "jokes" about it to them? I don't think so. I've also addressed this "don't like, don't watch" argument already - I won't be watching any more of Pewdie's videos, unless he comes out to ap…

Quote: “ I have read the the posts except for the last one you did. Too long. ” Why should I continue replying to you, if you don't read my replies? Quote: “And the thing is, people don't mean to be rude when they joke about things. ” It doesn't matter if they mean to be rude or not, that is not what I'm talking about here at all. Just because someone tries to be good does not mean they can not do anything that is wrong. I explained why jokes can be wrong, and I'm not going to do it again, if yo…

Quote from LordVoldemort: “It's not wrong to joke about things, because that's what they are, jokes. Jokes are supposed to be funny, not sad. I feel sorry for you if you take jokes seriously. Somewhere in the world there's always someone joking about rape, murder and so on. That's not going to stop. Someone will find it funny even tho you don't. If you don't like it, don't watch it. (Pewdiepies videos, that is.)” I've already responded to jokes being meant to be funny, and you would know my answ…

Quote from bLanK.facE: “Internet is internet. Trolls are trolls. You fall for it, its your fault. Everyone who knows someone that gets raped/has been raped always gets like this. I know you people just want to get it straight through other peoples' head that "Rape is serious". No shit sherlock, of course its serious. No one wants to get raped. No one wants to have a psychological scar. But anything can be used as humor material in comedy, if done right, but yes I believe most comedians would avo…

Pewdie has recently posted an apology which was more sincere than the previous one , and he said he would not broadcast any more rape jokes. Due to that, this letter has expired, to some degree. I'd like to, in addition to the post a page or two down from here, thank Pewdie for his reaction, although he still managed to belittle problem even in this later response. I've included the original letter by me in the spoiler, so as to avoid confusion about the state of affairs here. (Hidden Content)
