Umm... no?

Ok, now i have. Wow. I knew all that to begin with, but hearing it in the theme song of duck tails really paints the picture. LOL https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x3azdi0
Idk i generally agree but the joke here isn't really rape but more the subversion of expectations, the joke couldve easily been 'yeah i learned last week the magpie steals shit' cut to panel of their keys getting stolen, instead of them learning it through a book. The rape part is of course to heighten the shock value, and is thus more of a prop than the actual joke imo. So it's not like the underlying message is 'rape is funny right guys?', but i definitely also see the objectionable part of using such serious topics like rape as a comedic prop
Also sidenote, this is cyanide and happiness, that's kinda their whole thing
I mean switch the character to a woman and ask yourself if rape is taking a backseat to the subversion.
not my kinda humor and I get Iām the buzzkill here but uhhh, just wanted to state my feelings on the matter to maybe help some other like-minded person feel heard.
No no i getcha, should've maybe stressed the 'its still objectionable' part a bit more. All respect for being a buzzkill btw, that shit is often needed.
Despite the word being used, it's not actually a joke about rape. This is a joke on the same level as a weiner dog humping someone's leg. The perspective of an overly amorous duck with the main characters butt in frame add to the humor of it, but it's still only a crappy joke about an animal trying to get it on with a person.
I mean I didnāt conflate anything; the comic writer opted for the term rape. thereās a whole separate argument about how maybe rape isnāt the right word in the rest of the animal kingdom because it has weight among humans and saying itās the same thing gets used in a rapistsā mindset that itās natural and justified.
But thatās a whole ānother thread.
Anyways, yeah, I did kick off. You shared your comic with rape in it and Iām putting in my two cents. No refunds for either of us, eh? Have a good one. Moving on, as you say.
Edit: OP deleted their original comment wherein they told me to ākick offā and that I took a comic too seriously š¤· just uuuh, discussing humorā¦ if youāre mad for me saying jokes with rape arenāt funny to me, thatās your prerogative just as it is mine to state an opinion.
that's your interpretation of stick figures but okay. they put boobs on them when it's important that they're female. they put a dick on when it's important it's male. that's how stick figures work. otherwise they're genderless.
I think its the writers' interpretations too. They really only put dicks on them when the joke is specifically about the dick. There are plenty of times when the character is the normal stick figure with no dick, but explicitly gendered male. But when the character is explicitly gendered female, they always have boobs or a feminine haircut. Also in the animations the standard stick figures are always given masculine voices.
Ok, so "duck rape" per se was not weird...it's just a thing animals do to reproduce...
but one day I did see it: duck couple just minding its own business...another male duck flies in, rapes female while the mate tries frantically to remove it by biting it in the neck...it really is pretty bad...š„²
Ducks are awful animals, they make chickens look good.
The worst part is that they are cute, seriously don't look up a video or anything and don't own ducks we should eat more duck no amount of captivity is enough kill ducks

Changing genders does nothing to this comic.
Despite the word being used, it's not actually a joke about rape. This is a joke on the same level as a weiner dog humping someone's leg.

'Overly amorous' is not a way to describe rapists.
DaGeek247@fedia.io · 0 pts · 145d
Yes, that's why I used it to describe a duck instead.

C&H characters are genderless unless specified. they're practically stick figures dude
Doug@piefed.social · 5 pts · 145d
Nah they put boobs on āem if theyāre women; otherwise the defaultās a man.
Again Iāve moved on as OP implored me to do in their deleted comment, but uhhh, whatever drives engagement I suppose. š¤
