Show me a joke on this topic where the comedian is on the side of the rapist. And Daniel tosh doesn't count; shutting up a heckler with something she said as the basis for your retort is not the same as having a bit about it.
When you've found that joke, the definitively pro rape bit, then tell me the theatres that comic is performing at in the next six months.
I will reiterate that this is not and has never been about rape jokes themselves; it is about telling comedians what they can and cannot say. And if your answer is anything other than 'whatever you want', you wish to live in a different society than I do.
