on your video yesterday, during creature talk, you made a rather inappropriate joke about a male model who had been a sexual assault victim. the joke was very inappropriate and it seemed like you were blaming the victim for something unacceptable and completely out of his control. i wish that you would apologize for the rape joke, because rape jokes are never ok in any situation whatsoever.

submit4nova: I dont think you even realize what the joke even was but instead decided to jump to thinking i made a “rape joke”. As i didn’t intend for it to even be close to a rape joke and i’ve never EVER made a rape joke…. I never blamed the victim nor did i comment about how it was his fault. I said the producer can’t help himself as in it was the producers fault, or whoever it was that was in this group of people who committed the act. Even that wasn’t so much a joke.



Get the stick out of your ass. you said “i guess they couldnt help themselves” about a male victim of #rape not to mention it was interpreted that way by a number of people theres no reason not to grow up and apologize

If many did interpret it in that way then by all means i do apologize, however the way people interpret things is something i can’t hang on. If i took the time to explain every single instance of every single time SOMEONE took SOMETHING i said and found it offensive then that would pretty much turn into my day job because someone will always pick at things we (youtubers) say and break it down piece by piece.

I have accidentally said some offensive things in the past, i think most youtubers do and more times than not i do express being sorry and mistaken for it. (Take my Beyond Two Souls comment for example)



However this was not one of those cases. I did not mean that interpretation in any form of what i said, thus i did get a bit butt hurt over seeing that as i take these things as saying i was never taught any better in childhood.

This was also the only time i had seen this get brought up. People need to understand that we are not saints, nor do we pretend to be. Some may laugh at serious things such as death as their way to cope while others find that offensive to do. Does that make either wrong? Everyone is different and no one can abide by a certain string of personality traits just to make everyone in the world happy. But just because someone takes offense to something said, doesn’t mean it was meant to be taken that way in the first place. But i cant stop people from thinking a certain way.
