      “Men are afraid that women will laugh at them. Women are afraid that men will kill them“

          If the take is “men don’t care and women are picky” then it’s a boomer joke. But it’s Cyanide and Happiness, soooo…

          I must’ve missed that part. Where does it say that only single men commit rape? Oh right it doesn’t. But you got defensive…. Which is suspect to say the least.

            Its Cyanide and Happiness. The comics history means we can safely assume the dark humor version is probably what they were going for.

              I always forget that going over the top with exaggeration will fly over the heads of the angriest people.

            You mean the punchline?

              That’s not the punchline. The audience doesn’t even know if the man on the laptop is a rapist, could be a stand up dude. The punchline is that you can’t market sex to women the same way you market sex to men. Why? Well maybe you should ask a woman.

            It was a joke, maybe you have heard of them?

            I’ve been married for two decades and just thought it would be funny if someone read way too much into the singles part. It isn’t like BTK, Trump, and other married rapists aren’t well known.
