This sort of "joke" is highly offensive, and isn't appropriate here.
Frankly, I don't think it's appropriate *anywhere*, but I actually
have some power to stop this sort of crap here, and I'm using it.

Violence against women and sex workers is very real, and joking about
it trivializes the very real pain of survivors. The image you posted
could have been highly hurtful to those who've experienced violence;
images and jokes about sexualized violence trigger painful memories.

I recognize that you probably didn't intend to offend. Nevertheless,
you did: I found your "joke" offensive and tasteless, and the image
you posted more so. Discriminatory and exclusionary humor causes real
pain and is not appropriate here.
