People need to stop making prison rape jokes. It’s not OK to joke about women getting raped, so why is it OK when its a man? I fucking wish more people cared about male rape.
I don’t care if it is this particular situation, regardless of gender. Not even a little bit. I hope for worse.
Prison rape is never funny. It’s traumatic, violent, and life destroying.
Sea-lioning replies justifying rape will be blocked.
I don’t wanna be his cellmate?!?
Join the fight club, go from big beautiful bill to big brawny bill
What kind of idiot still holds out hope that trump will ever see the inside of a jail cell
Joke about rape as a form of punishment
Several comments explicitly calling for it
Reminder that liberals are more authoritarian than “tankies” could dream of being.

Ah yes, the weird American fascination with prison rape as a form of punishment.
Hardly. We all know trump will never actually see a day behind bars. This sign is a comment on how he should be in prison. It’s also referring to the karma (not justice) of him getting raped due to all his raping. It also is more appropriate as the GOP aims to put more people in crappy private prisons, without even attempting to solve the prison rape problem. And their public fear of homosexuality played into it as well.
It’s not meant to be taken literally and it’s a not an endorsement of actual prison rape. It is a message of protest against a president who is a traitor and deserves a bullet in the head. It’s edgy to get attention to the cause against trump. Those of us who don’t want a fascist U.S. shouldn’t fight over minor things like this. Such purity tests will divide and destroy us.Such purity tests will divide and destroy us.
Not liking rape jokes is “divisive,” but making the joke in the first place isn’t?
How is that implied? Did I miss some text? Most people seem to agree that this is what the meme is about.
Because he’s a big cell mate, and she wants something bad to happen to Trump.
Why would a person want a cell mate of someone they don’t like to be anything? (besides annoying or have a good memory (for remembering additional confessions) or something?)
Big: able to overpower
Beautiful: kinda gets to a place of romantic or sexual
Bill: definitely a dude
Edit - there’s a non-zero chance the protestor didn’t have sexual assault in mind, blinded by the pun. We can hope they were pun obsessed.
“It’s okay if bad things happen to other people”
-USA in a nutshell
Remember when their military industrial complex was ravaging through Asia and middle east and people back home were like “Thank you for your service”?
People there are spineless cowards who cling to their made up “superiority” on backs of genocide, slavery, and exploitation all while marketing themselves as land of “freedom”.
But now the fascism is using the same military industrial complex against them, best they can do is do some dorky dance in costumes and an organized protest every few months.
It’s like they’re oblivious to problems they create elsewhere can also affect them in the long run. But will they learn?
Of course not.
yeah, but it’s someone we don’t like, so it’s fine.
/s just in case.
Drives me crazy. Shawshank Redemption is a good movie but it really did a number on the average person’s perception of prison life.
Sexual assault is funny, and rape is ok when it’s happening to prisoners, clearly.
Not ok, but less bad if the victim is a petulant rapist.
No it’s not. It is unacceptable in all cases. I don’t understand how otherwise principled “all humans are humans and deserve rights” people are suddenly a-OK with rape or torture if it’s someone they’ve decided is a “bad person” without realizing they’re doing the exact same thing fascists do to justify human rights violations, but it’s a pathological problem. If you think it’s ok for you (or anyone) to decide who is allowed to have human rights and who isn’t, you’re an authoritarian in denial and you will fall victim to the next authoritarian leader who agrees with you about who we’re allowed to torture.
I never said it was acceptable. OK is a synonym for acceptable, I said less bad, which it can be while, still being unacceptable.
What I mean is, it’s not less bad because it’s not two distinct phenomena. Whether or not someone is guilty of a heinous crime has nothing to do with whether or not they’re entitled to some basic human rights. Human rights are not treats that are allocated by an authority for good behavior and revoked if you do something naughty. If you contend that everyone has certain rights, as I do, they have to be universal and irrevocable, no matter what.
The reason they have to be irrevocable is because once you concede that they may be revoked, you now have the problem of who has the power to revoke them. You can either decide to revoke them yourself (vigilantism) or grant that power to someone else (authoritarianism). And while I am no expert in history, I feel confident in my belief that granting this authority to anyone is a recipe for disaster. The only other option, then, is to assert that even the worst possible person must still be afforded basic human rights, no matter what, and go from there. Anything less than that and you’re sliding down the slippery slope toward dictatorship.
This actually made me sick to my stomach. I’m used to prison rape (and men being raped in general) being treated as a joke, but to see it in an ostensibly “progressive” movement was just too much for me. Especially since these are the same people who rushed to condemn violence after Kirk got shot. Where is your morality now?
Realise that the revenge you’re praying for can only happen if the institution of prison rape, which predominantly victimizes queer people in men’s prisons, continues to exist. If you find that tolerable even for a second… I just don’t know how to reach you.
You are right. This is perpetuating rape culture and is unacceptable in a progressive society. That woman should be ashamed of herself.
I thought they were talking about locking Bill Clinton up with him, I didn’t even realize the actual joke :(
Email your representatives.
If it makes you feel better (assuming you meant any of that)
I think reform is coming. We saw it with Hollywood. For the longest time that was also a joke “you wanna be a star don’cha?”.
Humor is pain. You won’t find a single joke that isn’t based entirely around pain of some kind. It’s one of the ways we process emotions and it’s one of the easier ways to talk about difficult subjects. It can and always has been a doorway to the eventual discussion.
So hopefully that helps.
Some examples:
-
Why did the chicken cross the road? To get to the other side. The humor is “it was an easy and obvious answer you fool!”
-
the other night as I lied in bed looking up at the stars and the infinite cosmos I couldn’t help but wonder… what the fuck happened to my ceiling. The humor is the thing you thought was coming didn’t happen and now you are shocked and briefly confused.
-
my mother never breast fed me. She said she always considered me more of a friend. The humor is Rodney dangerfields mother didn’t love him.
-
Yeah, but it’s fine because it’s someone we don’t like. Just because that makes us a hypocrite, doesn’t mean that prison rape isn’t fine!
I like it because it’s clever. It’s still kinda boomer humor about prison rape but No Kings isn’t about getting angry about something like that when we have a common enemy.
Plus who knows, Big Beautiful Bill might just be a lovely, swell fellow.
The kicker being if BBB is a big, friendly inmate doing his best to return to society, but his presence still comes across as torture to Trump because he’s hispanic.
Big Beautiful Bill was wrongly imprisoned like many in America. He is a great guy who looks out for other inmates. He is sex positive and knows that consent is mandatory. After falling in love with Bill, Trump is fully reformed and joins the antifascist cause leaving hate behind and embracing peace love and justice for all.
Futurama Fry meme
Not sure if prison rape joke or ok
its a tough one cause it is a prison rape joke, those are obviously bad and that doesn’t change here
but i won’t lie, i kinda feel like serial rapists like trump deserve to feel what it’s like to be on the other end, for once
Plot twist, BBBill is actually a decent human being who gets trump to see the error of his ways.
(Yeah, BIG fantasy. I’d win the lottery before the odds of both those things happening)
I don’t know why people think Trump will spend 1 second in any sort of prison.
