"The problem was when they took it upon themselves to tell rape victims that they weren't allowed to be offended by rape jokes."

When was this?



Starting with the very next comic, which was dedicated to mocking anyone who didn't like the first comic, and continuing from there. Several people have posted links in this thread already; I'm sure you can find them as well as I can.


I'm familiar with the comic. I'm also familiar with that interpretation, which I don't agree with. I'm sure you're aware that most people saw the original comic as it was: a jab at a lazy MMO trope. The next comic jabbed at people who mistook it for a comic that made light of the horrible things it depicted, which it very plainly was not.

I had a longer comment here, but I don't think your mind will be changed. This is a conversation I've had with too many people saying the exact same things you're saying. I'm moving on with everyone else.
