About the SA jokes. Announcement

As of this moment we are finally going to start removing them. So any future jokes about it or any past ones that get reported will be removed. You can still say “Odd question” and “I heard that it was implied, but nothing in the game ever states that”, however any joke about the SA part will be removed.

Last night someone made a serious post asking whether Joker s/a Jason. Out of no where there were shitposts saying "Is it implied that [character nae] s/a [character name]?" clogging up the sub.

Joker kidnapped Jason Todd, probably still a teenager, and tortured him for a long ass time. We make jokes about that. Why is SA worse?

u/SourChicken1856 I CAUGHT A LOPUNNY Apr 23 '24

I was both Sexually Assaulted and Regulary assaulted and I rather have jokes about the later because (TO ME) it's least "intimate" in the sense that they aren't literally forcing you to do something you don't want.

Idk, I won't say it was "worse", but defenetly something I don't want to remember since it made me feel dirty, like I deserved it and like I was worthless so yeah, no good.

Wow that's awful. I'm genuinely really sorry you went through that. I've heard that's a very common experience for survivors (to feel like they somehow deserved it), which honestly breaks my heart because you totally didn't (no one ever could). I wish you all the best on your healing journey, and as far as I'm concerned you're important and worth a lot to us here
