FlirtyKaren:
So, earlier on today, Basketmouth shared this tweet which to him seemed harmless.
Unfortunately, it pissed a whole lot of people off.


Basketmouth has since deleted the tweet and has apologized but reactions continue to pour in.
Some people are strongly asking brands for whom Basketmouth is an ambassador to dump him.
A Zimbabwean mother of four even wrote in from the States lashing out at the comedian.

A hashtag #RapeIsNoJoke has already been created to pursue the cause.

EU Removes Basketmouth As Ambassador For Sexual & Gender Based Violence

sharap! There is absolutely nothing wrong with the joke. I bet if he had cracked a joke making fun of albinos you'd laugh your whole teeth out. Tell me, which is worse? Stop this hypocrisy.

BabaAlabi:
Ra'pe is not a joke but what about stealing? A guy spends his hard earned money to take a girl out but instead of telling him she is not interested in any intimacy from the beginning she spends his money on food and clothes like a hungry wh0re.
That joke has been passed around since 2012 and no one complained but now that a celebrity is involved, his contract with glo and MTV should be terminated.....Bad Belle Orisirisi.

Hey fukk you, goody two shoes

The internet is not meant to be a friendly place. Ever been to 4chan or Reddit?

You want to meet nice people then go to church and leave us alone, we love the filth like pigs love shiit.

Bye, Felicia.

Mtcheewwww. Basketmouth,abeg more of the rape jokes jareh.

As if they don't know what "joke" means. Nonsense!

blowjohn:



What the heck r u saying?
Are girls supposed to be used as sex objects?
Did the gal beg him to come toast him?
in the hierarchy of life, is it wrong for a guy to feed a gal from his sweat?
U say she spends the money on food like a LovePeddler!
did she use juju on the guy abi d guy lent his brain out?

Denikayan:


And what's the age rating and warnings?

Like you grew up in the village and barely know norms and order.

Polchiz:

If the young man did not toast her, you call him a local guy, if he did not buy her gift and give her money, you say that he is stingy. Now, can a reasonable girl keep receiving gifts and money from a guy whom she has no feelings for? Does he look like father Christmas to you? Is he your brother?
If you just want a friendly relationship then make it mutual and let him know from day one that he is just a friend and should not think about anything funny.
Any girl who is well brought up do not go about collecting money and gifts from a guy who is neither your boyfriend nor a relative.
Never date a girl from a poor home. Dating is serious business for them. Many of them have been used for money ritual which for me is worse than rape.

blowjohn:



Now tables turn.
How can a guy keep having sex with a gal he won't marry or with whom he has no feelings for?
U see this relationship of a thing is a complex but two way thing.
Guys want sex and more sex.
No matter how well brought up a gal is, she is still a gal and her desires won't change.
Be it time, or a little transport fare, or a meal......that is a females nature.
If we all expect all gals not to demand from us, we should also respect ourselves by not threading the path of luring them into our nests and feeding off them too.

trustyshoess:

triggered much? You're toxic and she shoe fits.
4chan and reddit have silly trolls too cos again, faceless forum but guess why they're actually useful? There are tons of intelligent people having intelligent conversations there. Negativity exists on all platforms but nairaland stands out because its dominant here. The freedom to be absolutely vile and downright disgusting fuels the fire of toxicity that has consumed this place.
I agree, you're a pig and you love shit.
Bye pig

homesteady:
What is wrong with the joke? Its very funny

trustyshoess:

Lol after nearly a year away from this toxic website, I come back just to have a look and I'm swiftly reminded of why i left in the first place. It seems like the most vile people in Nigeria congregate here. Either that or the seemingly good ones come here to be free and anonymous in spewing the toxicity that is deep inside.
Either way, I'm off...again. tueh

toprealman:
Sure, till your wife/sister/daughter ends up as a victim. Hope the fun continues afterwards

zicoraads:
In as much as that subject is a sore one...I think he meant no harm. Buh the pple or families of dose hu hv been victims will think differently so deleting it was the sensible thing to do as well as the apology. Buh calling fr glo to terminate his contract? That's crazy...pple thinking like that are jobless and full of malice.

Whoiwannabe:
As much as he may not have meant it as perceived, rape is a very sensitive subject anywhere in the world and shouldn't be joked about.

It's sad that he lost his gig with EU. Meanwhile, the same EU wants to use Uti as an ambassador for their women campaign.

I wonder who's vetting their influencers.

trustyshoess:

You seem to be the one who cannot comprehend. Don't be a dunce. I gave a scenario and asked if a joke involving a young child would be viewed as "just a joke" by the same people who clearly don't see rape as a serious enough issue.
Don't just read to react, comprehend as well dear

5 years later, I'm shocked that I could make such a comment. The joke was distasteful and totally wrong.

Princeofasia:
wait till he gives that type of joke and calls it a joke before crucifying him. in his joke here, he never suported rape. he was listing exactly what happens when nigerians girls visit guys. he said first day, he spends and kiss and she wont allow him Bleep, second day and the days that follow same stuff happens but on the last day, the guy gets pissed and rapes her. now that is what he described. he never said that is what guys should do he was just listing out what primarily happens. so before u all come calling him a rape supporter, u should first understand what he said

BotherMleeper:


Haha I knew you'd be riled up, you feminist piece of shiit.

We choose to be vile, you pretentious fukk, so if you don't like it then fukk outta here with your preachings.

Ugly cunt

trustyshoess:

Yawn
You're boring with the insults. We've heard them all before, be more original with it at the very least. Ugh so juvenile

Sterope:
So what? Does that mean we should keep quiet over another? I stopped watching family guy because of this same reason is one of the reasons. There have been petitions and the rest to stop the insensitive jokes.

It is not political correctness to condemn those who have chosen to desensitise rape. Rape is sensitive, it is not a joke.
