    It's almost like political correctness doesn't want any joy.

    I saw something not too long ago about comedians being increasingly concerned about their careers because everything was becoming PC. Can't make a joke when some fishfaced overly offended twat demands the world to cater to them.

    Yeah, I mean - they're dumb, but it's hardly "rape culture" or any kind of threat.

    Unfunny and stupid. Give them a yelling-at but not much more.

    Pretty much. It's also usually heavily based in attention whoring also. "Look how outraged I am! I am so morally superior! Why are you not looking at me?!?!?!"

    It's the worst at college campuses. Most comedians won't even perform on campus anymore, due to the triggering and riots.

    Well, it going to get worse... due to recent events, "Own" and "Owned" ll be most likely be next, because owning somebody in the video game is obviously white supremacy oppression.

    They spelled out a bunch of words, they were playing "scrabble" with the letters they had available. It's clearly a joke, and whether you like it or not, it's a common term and has been for quite some time. Sure, it's a bit tasteless, but they're high-schoolers, you remember that edgy age?

    It will never end, until they ban every noun and verb.

    They were likely part of a longer word but branched off later to poke fun at the other team.

    They actually used the word correctly in this context, too. But apparently many people think rape only means forcing a penis in a vagina(which is dumb because females can rape males and males can rape other males).

    2017: where asking people not to be complete assholes is seen as a bad thing.

    Normalization of garbage behavior continues from the usual diarrhea people.

    No "joke" is "inappropriate". It's the context that makes it so. Society is not a support group.

    There have always been and always will be "assholes". Teenagers acting like complete dick bags is normal. You know what's not? Coddling those that are easily offended.

    Who would of thought they would loose their tits over over a joke.

    a rape joke in the middle of a breast cancer awareness game is sickening behavior. There are no two ways about this. By itself its irrelevant but the context and situation in which it was delivered is what makes it messed up.

    People complain about "oh its 2017, people are so sensitive" have it the other way around. Blatent shit like this would have been slammed hard back in the day but these days its defended and normalized.

    It's a level of tactlessness that has taken away from the purpose of the event. Basic sense points out there is a time and place for everything. Save it for the parties. Not a charity event.

    Tactless, yeah, totally. That doesn't justify any action against them though.

    Some people need to get a life. Its a joke from high schoolers. Im sure the same fools who would crucify them for a bad joke are the same that argueteenagers who commit violent crimes shouldnt be punished severely because their brains arent fully developed.

    What? While I'm not saying they need to be punished, I wouldn't feel bad if they were. And the school would have been in the right.

    Which is you passively-aggressively endorsing punishment for them, because if you didn't care about it, you wouldn't mention it.

    Probably grounds for disciplinary action by the school.
