      Gender-ragebait. Just post something about how persecuted you feel and move on.

        I love how we used to worry about overpopulation as our apocalyptic societal problem of the future.

          If the take is “men don’t care and women are picky” then it’s a boomer joke. But it’s Cyanide and Happiness, soooo…

          I must’ve missed that part. Where does it say that only single men commit rape? Oh right it doesn’t. But you got defensive…. Which is suspect to say the least.

            Its Cyanide and Happiness. The comics history means we can safely assume the dark humor version is probably what they were going for.

            You mean the punchline?

              That’s not the punchline. The audience doesn’t even know if the man on the laptop is a rapist, could be a stand up dude. The punchline is that you can’t market sex to women the same way you market sex to men. Why? Well maybe you should ask a woman.

                Knowing this comic series, I think the punchline is that it guns up controversy and people waste effort arguing about it.

                She’s locking the door. There’s more implication than failing to sell sex to women there

            It was a joke, maybe you have heard of them?

            I’ve been married for two decades and just thought it would be funny if someone read way too much into the singles part. It isn’t like BTK, Trump, and other married rapists aren’t well known.

            The prior comment read very much like satire to me. I doubt anyone seriously believes single men are the only people that commit rape.

              I always forget that going over the top with exaggeration will fly over the heads of the angriest people.

              Been like that on the internet since 4chan started breeding incels and cranking them into the world.

              The best and worst things in the world came from Somethingawful back in the early 2000’s, we are still suffering the repercussions, up to and including the election of Trump.
