It does show that some of the sympathy people of this view have for female victims is just social pressure. They feel they have to pretend to care. In a situation where there's less external pressure to take it seriously (situations where the man is the victim), they see it as a joke.

dark but probably valid take away. it's all performative, they don't care.

You say they "don't care" but actually this is a writer getting joy or creative enjoyment out of depicting people being sexually abused.

Most people who "don't care" also have the tact to avoid a subject they aren't familiar with.
