I gotta ask, do you think guys just sit around saying shit like “bro I was raping this girl just the other day…” or something? Or should I just go “Now Tommy, it’s important for you to learn about consent. Yes I know you’re 10yr older than I am, but I was told by internet people I have to educate my friends” instead, just make the conversation happen?
Idk about you guys but me and my friends barely even talk about sex much less details that would be criminal, which people usually try to hide. Usually the farthest it goes is “What up dude you trying to chill tonight?” “Nah sorry man I’m trying to get laid tonight, wyd tomorrow?” And then tomorrow… “So how’d it go, get laid?” “Ye.” “Nice. Yo check out this album I downloaded last night…”
And when you find out your friend has raped someone which always is found out through the girl, not the friend, because again these people know they’re committing literal crime, you don’t sit him down and explain what he did wrong as if he didn’t know, you call the cops or you cut contact, maybe some violence thrown in. It’s like that meme “nobody is recommending OSes to their friends” (of course haha linux, but that’s where the parallel falls apart.)
So you’ve never overheard someone make a tasteless joke and ignored it or laughed it off? If not, congrats (maybe get your hearing checked though). Right now there are a bunch of right wing douchebags slapping each other on the back over this rape joke. Just say something if you hear it dude, that’s all we really want. Nobody’s going to murder you. Calm down.
Maybe try to get your bros to mind their manners so nobody feels the need to test out body disposal methods.
