@femfreq Isn't the deeper problem that this is standard gaming trash talk, and standard gaming trash talk is a long string of rape jokes? -

@femfreq@mathewbyrne rape is an abhorrent crime regardless of gender and shouldn't be seen as a beacon of sexism -
@DurdleHerder might generally agree with you, but in this context it’s an audience laughing at a male jokingly dominating a female on stage. -
@mathewbyrne still uncomfortable with its use but agree that it was inappropriate
