I've never read Penny Arcade!

Until today when I read a comic strip that thoughtfully informed me that I'm not wanted as a reader.

It's nice when people do that.

ETA: Trigger warning wrt rape. I apologize for not putting that from the get go.

Why on Earth would they make that comic strip? It doesn't make any sense. They were...trying to be funny? Well. I can't imagine what's wrong with them if they thought that strip was going to be funny.

Defensivness over being called out on a rape joke.

Oh! So that's it, and the comic they were talking about really does exist.

...Wow. What jerks.

...wtf. I can't believe they thought it would be 'funny' to put in a comic. Ugh.

I haven't read it (cause I'm at work right now), but rape jokes or sexual harassment jokes or whatever seem to be the thing. I got into an argument with someone recently on a fan forum about a joke that I found insensitive to rape issues and was basically told to: "get a sense of humor."
