Unfortunately, when it comes to matters of rape and sexual abuse, my usually expansive vocubulary turns escapes me. <br /><br />As a victim of rape and sexual abuse as both a child and an adult, i am deeply concerned with the number of people in society who enjoy making light of something that is such a terrible black mark on our society. <br /><br />Offensive quotes and ramblings are one thing, making light of a very serious problem in our society, one that is NOT taken seriously enough as it is, is another ball park.<br /><br />BTW. I love the quote 'my right to swing my arm stops at your nose.'<br /><br />Thankyou for a generally hilarious blog and a great sense of the 'blurred lines' in todays society. Your common sense and instinct is something that is admirable =)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3117168333067506122.post-62323024224431703232010-09-28T11:42:25.036+01:002010-09-28T11:42:25.036+01:00I think the people who come here on a regular basi...I think the people who come here on a regular basis, know that STM uses some pretty graphic and rough language, so they're the ones who can deal with it. And for newbies, you have the disclaimer. But if you think something STM says is really painful (and not just offensive for some), then it's fine if you don't post it, because it's for a good reason, since rape is really nothing to joke about.<br /><br />Some people might be offended by some quotes (like "killing vegetarians"), but these days for many people 'being offended' seems to mean 'being hatefully attacked'. But afterall STM's quotes are subcontious and not Adam's or your true opinion and one has always the possibility not to give a shit about something another person said/wrote/did, even if it offends you.<br /><br />We all get offended by something or other and no matter if it's really, truly wrong and hurtful or if we are just oversensible, we might be the minority. We don't have the right to force our (over)sensibility on others and try to make what offended us unavailable for others, but we still have the right to protest it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3117168333067506122.post-87408240169824489322010-09-17T23:24:36.417+01:002010-09-17T23:24:36.417+01:00I suppose it is entirely resonable to not put it u...I suppose it is entirely resonable to not put it up because it could be disturbing, but a warning giving the nature of the content might have given people a warning if it was on another page...

Something in you made you finch momentarily and not post it and then question it. All this is great. <br /><br />You live with someone who says perplexing, challenging, hysterical, wonderful and wonderfully rude and crude things. He also appears to advocate for violence to be used against Vegetarians on a regular basis and lives in a night time world populated with lots of crazy animals. <br /><br />Coming here is kinda like getting to the top of the Faraway Tree and popping your head out to see what world is there. <br /><br />For some reason for me (someone who has been raped) a post containing a reference to a cat (or anything/anyone) being raped would kinda feel like popping my head up and getting smacked in the head with a saucepan.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3117168333067506122.post-28006618361839449542010-09-09T02:22:13.854+01:002010-09-09T02:22:13.854+01:00Thank you for not posting it.

For example, the killing of vegetarians and vegans could be called offensive, but it's not a problem in the real world, so it's not insensitive. If he was talking about concentration camps and Jews it'd be a different situation, because that's too close to what's actually happened in the world.<br /><br />A lot of people who feel like rape jokes aren't that big of a deal don't realize how incredibly common rape is. I get what the person above me is saying, that because it's a cat it's different, but I think it's kind of you to just not chance it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3117168333067506122.post-79133176282402141492010-09-08T00:44:16.080+01:002010-09-08T00:44:16.080+01:00I'm late to the debate, but I don't see th...I'm late to the debate, but I don't see the problem in posting it. Rape is nothing to joke about, but STM wasn't talking about the rape of a person. Totally different ballpark. <br /><br />If the mere use of the word rape in an out-of-context joke would send someone into a psychological breakdown, then they would have to avoid all tv, radio, & internet just to make it through the day. <br /><br />The blog is light-hearted entertainment. If you start censoring now, where will you stop? People can be offended by anything. You can't please them all.

There are times when Adam (albeit in his sleep) dreams about death and destruction, and even worse, he dreams about the death or eradication of a specific group of people or animals. <br /><br />Granted, rape is a terrible thing, but we KNOW he does not mean to make light of it any more than he intends to makes light of the destruction of a certain subset of people.<br /><br />Besides, from what I can gather, he wasn't actually making light of rape as much as he making light of someone's singing and sort of making light of animal abuse.<br /><br />Well, instead of bitching about it, may I make a suggestion?

The teacher wasn't there and the rest of the class either didn't mind or was actively enjoying it. When the teacher came in, she said, "Do I hear ill cats singing? Or is that my students?"<br />Now, I know my friends and I are all good singers, and I have come to realize that the teacher was already having a bad day, but then she went further and made a rude comment about my personal life (insinuating that there was abuse in my home) because I was upset. I treasure my singing voice, and I tend to wear my heart on my sleeve, so it was a normal reaction for me. <br />Needless to say, I'm rather glad you didn't post it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3117168333067506122.post-17004132812206915512010-09-07T02:09:49.125+01:002010-09-07T02:09:49.125+01:00Karen - I read your (and Adam's/STM's) blo...Karen - I read your (and Adam's/STM's) blog nearly every day and look forward to my daily giggle. I just wanted to post and thank you so much for your decision not to post this particular comment, and for the opportunity for discussion regarding this very sensitive issue. This decision (not to post) makes me like and respect you even more. I have personally been a victim of rape, and it has changed my life forever. I would say that I'm pretty easy going and don't get bent out of shape about things too easily, but I cannot stand it when I hear people joking or making light of any type of rape, sexual assault, etc. I think it's just simply in poor taste. I really respect you for your decision and again thank you for thinking of those of us that have been affected by this type of trauma personally or with someone close to us.

I usually don't read all the comments but I have been very impressed by this debate. It reinforces my thought that your blog speaks to a highly intelligent crowd. Quite a few of the comments are carefully considered, well supported points of view. I support you being open about the topic and your concern for potential harm. By simply expressing your concern and opening the debate for your readers, you have taken the sting out what was actually said. It appears from the comments, you have your reader's support for 'your blog, your rules'. And a huge thank you from rape victims (like myself) for your consideration. The highest law in almost every belief is "Do No Harm". Self-censorship is not diametrically opposed to free speech.
