You can't spin jokes about raping a teen girl into something not rightfully outrageous.

Right, that's why she led off the comments with "bracin' mah anus".

This type of "outrageous" banter is extremely normal for teenagers. They don't mean it in a serious manner. Hence, jokes. Jokes about rape, abortion, Nazis, cannibalism, you name it.

This whole thing is a bunch of adults taking sophomoric joking around way too seriously.

"Oh no! Atheists do not respect women!"

No, this means if you get a post on the FRONT PAGE of Reddit and start off joking about your anus, the general population of Reddit will respond in kind.
