Admittedly I didn't see the show, I cannot comment on the context of the joke.
But based on what I've read, obviously the subject matter is a serious one.
Having said that, anyone who's been raped will not find it funny.
He or she will find it offensive.
Women who've been subjected to sexual assault will not find it funny.
Anyone who's been bullied in one form or another will not find it funny either.
True, it was just a joke and it was all for laughs.
But like any form of entertainment, comedy can be in bad taste or good taste.
I think this one falls in the former.
What saves the comedian on this issue is that there is free speech in this country.
Freedom of speech daw ang labanan dito.
ReplyDeleteE ano ngayon kung magreact ang taong involve o kung sino man na foul ang tingin nila dun sa naturang joke? Freedom of speech din naman yon diba? Walang kamatayang freedom of speech.
Para sakin, nagkataon lang ngayon nasaktan at umalma. Hindi naman lagi na dapat kung magbabato ka e di pwedeng walang mag bato pabalik sayo. Nataon lang na nakahanap ng katapat.
Kung halimbawa ibang tao yung magreact na mali yung joke na yon. Na foul. Na masakit. Possible kaya syang humingi ng tawad? Possible kaya nyang tawagan yun? O di kaya aminin na nagkamali sya? Na pilitin nyang joke lang yun at wala lang yun?
Ang panlalait, pangungutya, paggamit ng pangalan ng tao na di naman nakakatulong sa taong yon ay di kailanman pwedeng tawaging joke at lalong di pwedeng sabihing nakakatuwa.
Pikon na kung pikon. Pero sa mundo walang sinabing bawal mapikon. Pero sa mundo hindi tinuro na mang maliit ng tao, mapajoke man to o totohanan.
Isipin mo nalang kung sino ang mga mahihilig gumawa ng ganitong bagay...

Maraming naoffend na mga taong hindi naman nanood ng concert LOL. The joke was taken out of context. Pinalaki at pinalalim. He could have used the term "gangbang" instead of "gangrape". Kaso baka maoffend naman yung mga mahilig magpa-gangbang LOL. People need to seriously lighten up. Not in defense of Vice Ganda or of off-color jokes. Nawawala kasi ang focus ng tao sa mga totoong seryosong usapin.
ReplyDeleteHindi naman ako naoffend kahit I was once a rape victim... LOLjk.
