Censoring an old strip?
pwhodges:
Because in the absence of a formal survey and real statistics, anecdotal evidence is all we have - so an anecdote he provided.
Is it cold in here?:

Why would you accuse me of saying my attitude was an "indicator" when I had said the exact opposite in the post immediately before yours?
Valdís:
Sorry, misunderstood I guess.
I think the way I read it was as an indicator for them or something. I really don't like when family think they can just speak on behalf of a person.
Is it cold in here?:
Ahh. Understood.
The relevance is that I have to see the results (continuing anxiety attacks for one of them, alcoholism for the other) and am sad and angry myself at injury to my family.
If anything, that makes me more motivated to distinguish between Faye and Sara's chatter about imaginary zero-inhibitions sex on the one hand and actual sexual violence on the other hand. Sara was lustful, not cruel.

I personally don't understand why it was changed or why people let jokes like that get to them. Rape is a horrible thing, no doubt. But so is murder and people make jokes about murder and death all the time. They may be tasteless, but they're still just jokes and do not condone the action they make fun of. If somebody decides to go out and rape somebody because a girl in an internet comic strip made a casual mention of it, there is something seriously wrong with the person, not the creator of the comic strip, for thinking a joke makes the action OK.
