It's a fun ribbing when it's in private, sure. It's another thing when it's posted publicly and #1 on hacker news.

  The original comment was a public tweet: http://img.gawkerassets.com/img/18xpcvut8ka32png/ku-xlarge.png http://img.gawkerassets.com/img/18xpcvut8ka32png/ku-xlarge.p... I can't imagine many rape victims would describe this as a "fun ribbing"

    World of difference. One was meant in jest that didn't reference anyone in particular, and might have been "insensitive" or something stupid like that. The other was a direct attack on people trying to make their livelihood in a very vicious way. So who is the real victim?

    @overgard: The real victims are the rape victims who have to train themselves to endure constant triggers from things "made in jest."
