So apparently there was a rape joke during Killer Instinct's demo?

Good old Internet never failing to surprise me. During the Killer Instinct fight demo the two people were saying unscripted friendly banter back and forth to try emulate the feel of playing the game with a friend and while it was cheesy as hell we all understood the point of it and the effect it was trying to give off.

But the internet couldn't sit idly by and let it be. The guy in the video below said "Just let it happen, it'll be over soon" and people on reddit and such places went crazy claiming it was a rape joke at the woman's expense. Now I don't know about you but that was not even remotely what I was thinking when it happened.

And Kotaku being the beacon of fine journalism that it is put up an article about it.But quickly changed it around because they knew it was dumb. Surprise surprise it's from the same woman who claimed Far Cry 3 Blood Dragon was homophobic

Jonathan Blow even got in on it because he can't seem to keep his mouth shut these days

So SW rape joke? or just a crappy joke in general?

OMG WHO CARES?!clyde46

OMG WHO CARES?!clyde46

Right? out of all the stuff at E3 and people picked up on this and made a huge deal out of it

I don't even consider that a joke to begin with.

No. No there wasn't.

It's sad when the media cares more about the joke than the woman did. She clearly didn't care, but some people find the need to dedicate their lives to it.

Rape didn't even come to mind until I came across this thread.

What's worse is that Patricia Hernandez also did another article for Kotaku complaining that there were no female hosts at Sony's conference :| 

One of the few things that drew genuine laughter from the crowd.

I half expected to see a Kotaku link somewhere in the post.

I don't think it was intentional on their part. Just sounded like regular smack talk that people give to each other when playing fighting games together. The only reason anyone likened it to rape was because his opponent was a girl. If he was fighting a guy no one would take notice.I_can_haz

I think it says more about the people who thought it was a rape joke that the presenters themselves. 

If you hear something like that and instantly think "rape" then you have issues

EDIT: also lol in your sig it looks like Kate Upton is saying "IT'S RAPE!" :lol: 

This is stupid. People trying to make something out of nothing.

It's like an internet meme. Jesus the people making a problem of this should be put under 24/7 Kinect surveillance.

People are such pvssies. The girl wasn't offended, so why should anyone else be?

i heard him say it and my  mind went more to the classic assassin shushing a victim as they killed them type scene not to rape.

Kinect is the real rapist here.

I have plenty of responses to this in mind, but most of them could leave a wrong impression...

Nothing's better than seeing a bunch of socially inept idiots running their mouths over nothing... I wonder, are these guys just the ultimate hypocrites putting on a shining Internet armor, or have they truly never experienced banter between friends in real life?

For their sake, I hope it's the former...

I'm not saying I support feminists or that I am one; but...I get them. I get what they're trying to accomplish but most of the time they take everything way too far; further than what it intentionally means just to try and make a dumb point. I actually have a friend who is a feminist and I kind of get where she comes from but still I hope she isn't apart of stupid shit like this.

BPoole96

Exactly. These feminists are all for equality between men and women until it actually happens. Guys talk shit like this and worse to each other when gaming, girls do too. But when a guy says it to a girl it's an auto rape joke instead of friendly trash talk

Do these people seriously believe this stuff or do they do it to stand out or seem cool and above it all?

FEMINIST

Everyone attack

are we allowed to say that word on this forum?jessejay420

Not if it's derogatory or at someone, but this has context elsewhere and is relevant to discussion in general so I think it's allowed
