Pop Culture Detective is one of my favorite currently running media analysis channels for its insightful and progressive topics and essays.
The video they've dropped today revolves around the Sexual Assault of Men as Comedy (~29 minutes). Seemingly this is part one of a series. This first video discussing rape jokes directed toward men (i.e. don't drop the soap) as a form of comedic writing or threat:
I truly appreciate the light it sheds on the actual statistics around rape/sexual assault in prison and how its prevelance is a feature rather than a bug in a system of punishment and control.

Bumping this because of Brawly Likes to Brawl's other thread on it
Just putting aside how overlooked rape against men is, it's unreal to see how many different examples they used in this that poke fun at rape against men. It's disgusting, quite frankly.
Andrew Bailey made a very powerful video on this very subject. Since I'm here, figured I might as well post it.
