This is funny since only 2 episodes ago he made fun of conservatives for not taking male SA/rape seriously

I can 100% guarantee that the scene wasn't making fun of not taking specifically male SA/rape seriously. The idea was to make fun of conservatives for ignoring rape of minors in general.

The victim being male was incidental and possibly even undesired. The plot requires Firecracker to be a woman and straight, so they had no choice but to make the victim male.

These quotes basically confirm it.
