Anonymous asked: I bet you defend comedians who make rape jokes, too.
Here is what I think about rape jokes in comedy:
They’re toxic, shitty and misogynistic in a way that measurably contributes to the minimisation of sexual assault by those people, particularly men, who laugh at them. At their worst, they either border on or actively constitute hate speech; at their “best,” if you can use that term, they constitute a thoughtless, offensive and hurtful misuse of freedom of speech.
Fanfic, as a body of work - as a concept, whatever issues might reasonably be taken with individual writings - has myriad vital qualities that justify defending its creation and continuation.
Rape jokes do not.
