Did… you simply just downvote my comment, not address anything in it, and answer the hypothetical question? Did you even read it? No one is “forcing” anyone here. If you don’t understand a basic concept of human language and interaction… you won’t be able to identify what the actual problems are, which undermines efforts to improve the situation. Your complaints would be rightfully ignored.
It’s the same type of argument that suggests “Uncle Tom’s Cabin” should be banned, because it “forces” people who experience systemic racism to be exposed to it in a literary work. Again. Context fucking matters. People who don’t get that and complain, are either virtue signalling or attention seeking (or both), in either case, ignored to the benefit of all.
There is nothing meaningful to address in your comment, and it does not contribute to the discussion. You are trying to normalize a disgusting practice and all of those things deserve downvotes.
Your arguing that sometimes jokes about child rape are okay, and I disagree. In no circumstances, in no context are they ok. None.
There is literally no argument you can bring that will change my position on this.
And every argument you DO bring just convinces me more and more that your reasons for trying to justify this are deeply personal.

I don’t know if you’ve actually read the book but it isn’t a comedy, you are making a comparison between a serious examination of an abhorrent practice and people using the suffering of others to make people laugh.
If you really don’t see the difference between the two then you have no business on my internet.
Imagine feeling so strongly about this, yet not understand why if anyone actually cared and listened to your opinion, it would make the very problem you want to address, worse. I’m not trying to convince you of anything either… I’m explaining the function of humour to address difficult to talk about topics. And you’re going “no! No one should talk about it in any other way than in the seriousness of which it is” lalalacanthearyou. “… well, people simply don’t talk about it then. Is that what you want?”. lalala.
You do you.
Whether or not you want to be wrong about this, is entirely up to you. It has no effect on me. I’m just trying to help you out here. Seems it really it’s of no interest to you, which means I’m just wasting my time. You might as well just move on. I certainly will. Have a good one.
It really is true that most of humanity is just unable to identify with the suffering of others unless they experience it themselves.
I don’t wish it on anyone, not even to ‘prove a point’ but I’m pretty sure unless you are an absolute psychopath (which is possible) if you had a family member endure that horrific experience then maybe you wouldn’t be surprised that people feel strongly about it.
But you haven’t and you can’t, so it’s just another piece of edgy humor for you.
Must be nice to be so naive about the capacity some people have for inhumane abuse.
Because that is what rape victims have told me when they are forced to be exposed to rape ‘jokes’.
