- "'Kin you queal like a pig, boy?""You shore do got a purty mouth, boy!"Rape-scene from Deliverance
Even when it's not supposed to be funny, it's still considered funny. Scenes like the outright rapes shown in films such as Deliverance, Pulp fiction and Prince of Tides are obviously supposed to be horrific; however they are routinely snickered at, rather than cried over as with male-on-female rape-scenes.
The reason? Because they're male-on-male rape, and rape doesn't happen to men unless they deserve it— right? In any event, it's simply considered simply a "funny accident" at worst.
It doesn't matter if it's through force, deception or drugs, male-on-male rape is almost always an object of derision— against the victim— which certainly wouldn't be the case for male-on-female rape. For example, no one refers to the rape-scene with Jodie Foster in The Accused by saying "wanna play pinball?" However the line "'kin you squeal like a pig, boah?" is a common line of ribald humor.
-Examples
- Male [[Groin Attack Groin Attacks}} are almost always considered "funny" or otherwise deriding to the victim, chiefly because they are they are a form of rape or sexual assault— often judgmentally inflicted. This includes both accidental and delibeate injury to the groin, or castration jokes and scenes. Naturally, punishment rarely accrues to the perpetrator.
FILM
- In Deliverance, Ned Beatty is brutally sodomized by a hillbilly at gun and knife-point during a canoe-trip. John Voight is likewise almost orally raped as well, while both would have also been murdered if they had not been rescued. And yet, the situation is still considered "funny."
- In Pulp Fiction, a man is likewise brutally raped; however this was parodized in MAD Magazine by showing the pregnant Arnold from the movie Junior as what happened to the last guy. In contrast, MAD also slammed the movie Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves for its comedic portrayal of a rape, saying "perhaps they think violating a woman is funny?"
- In The Longest Yard, Burt Reynolds deliberately severely injures Robert Duvall in the groin, twice, with a football, in what's considered to be an uproariously funny scene.
LIVE ACTION TV
- The Drew Carey Show episode "A Means to an End" features Drew's two male friends giving him a colonoscopy as a practical joke, by tricking Drew into believing that his doctor ordered it. This is outright object-rape, however it's still considered funny because it's male-on-male.
WESTERN ANIMATION
- Ben Affleck has sex with Cartman's hand— and it's funny.
REAL LIFE
- Prison rape is almost always considered funny, despite that it is committed aganst helpless inmates, amounting to cruel and unusual punishment without proper sentence.
- In ABC's 20/20 episode "Men Sexually Harassing Men," various incidents of sexual assault— and even genital mutilation— are shown as being ignored by employers, unions and authorities simply becaus it's male-on-male, with one judge even throwing out the genital-mutilation case by saying "this is just what men do to each other." 20/20 didn't even consider it that serious, giving rationalizations that monkeys do similar things.
- On the tabloid show Jenny Jones, Jonathan Schmitz was brought on the show under the pretense of meeting a female "secret admirer," only to be presented by Scott Amedure, a homosexual predator who proceeded to humiliate and vicariously publicly violate Schmitz, with homosexual rape-fantasies about him on national television. This was considered uproariiously funny— until Schmitz later shot Amedure dead.
- In various other court-cases, male-on-male sexual assault— including gang-rape by teenage boys against younger ones— are routinely dismissed by "activist" (i.e. outlaw) judges; these autonomous judges know that they won't be voted off the bench, since the public simply doesn't care about male-on-male sexual violations... probably because the media treats it as one big joke— which in turn colors public perceptions awsy from jutice or consistency toward a Double Standard.
Alrune: I think that's a quite decent description.
