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. Jacob -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django developers" group.
