man, who at MS could have thought this whole sequence was a good idea?!

I'm sure Patricia Hernandez/Kotaku is prepping their editorial right now.

[Secret Fawful]

This was the biggest thing that stood out to me in the conference. I mean, how terrible and uncomfortable can you get?

 

[Bunta]

That was extremely awkward.

 

[Mikey Jr.]

Rape joke? Ohh come on now.

I didn't get that at all.

 

[Shao Kahn Brewing a Stew]

Very awkward indeed.

 

[Minions]

Don't really see it as a rape joke, but agree to disagree. I've had doctors tell me "it will be over soon" when giving me shots when I was younger (that i fucking hate)

 

[Surface of Me]

Poor choice of words, but you're the one interjecting it was about rape.

 

[LiveFromKyoto]

My favourite part of that exchange was when she blurted out "No, I don't like this!"

 

[arab]

i'm pretty sure if i were physially raping someone, i wouldn't say "don't worry it'll be over soon"

 

[Brinbe]

it was p. awkward.

 

[Psycho_Mantis]

Thats was a rape joke 0_0 I thought he meant she will be defeated soon. Are you sure your not looking too into it?

 

[vazel]

yea, I was like

. real mature microsoft.

 

[Visualante2]

They didn't actually say the word rape so I don't think it counts as rape.

 

[Hexa]

People need to chill out. Even the lady up there didn't find it awkward. :/

 

[rikichi]

what rape joke? i didnt hear no rape joke. and im sure the majority of people didnt hear it either.

dont make any assumptions.

 

[PaleFolklore]

It was a stupid thing to say but I highly doubt he meant it as a rape joke.

 

[GekigangerV]

Rape joke? Ohh come on now.

I didn't get that at all.

Yeah, I think it is an over reaction myself. When I got shots as a kid my parents told me the same thing.

 

[shaowebb]

The sound bite of "No I dont like this." is going to crop up soooooooo much, but the "Just let it happen it'll be all over soon" soundbite is way more easily applied to the Xbox One DRM. Predicting frequent usage of it.

 

[Alchemy]

That entire demonstration was awkward as hell, that was just the icing on the cake.

 

[Corsick]

Far too vague to just label it a rape joke, not fair at all to the presenters imo. It was awkward though.

 

[Fairly Rational]

It was awkward as hell mainly because I knew somebody would construe it as a rape joke. It wasn't, by the way. He was clearly referring to his opponent's free nature.

 

[Spongebob]

Kotaku will definitely be all over this (rightfully so).

That was extremely awkward.

.

 

[Twinduct]

Akward .. indeed.
Rape Joke ... err slight stretch.

 

[DedValve]

Didn't she proceed to kick his ass the next round? The fighting was so obviously staged, he winds round 1, she wins round 2.

Inb4lolkota--goddamnit.

 

[Rumble19]

Just accurately simulating a conversation over xbox live.

 

[jgmo870]

It was a sex joke, not a rape joke. And it was pretty awkward.

 

[Gouty]

Don't really see it as a rape joke, but agree to disagree. I've had doctors tell me "it will be over soon" when giving me shots when I was younger (that i fucking hate)

This. Its something I might say to my dog, who hates having her fur brushed.

 

[DukeBobby]

I didn't see it as a rape joke.

Still very uncomfortable to watch, though.

 

[73V3N]

What rape joke?

 

[K.Sabot]

It was one of those creepy rape references too.

 

[LOLDSFAN]

Thats was a rape joke 0_0 I thought he meant she will be defeated soon. Are you sure your not looking too into it?

Yeah that's how I felt about it until I saw my Twitter feed exploding.

 

[Elija2]

I think it was just a poor choice of words. I don't think it was scripted and I'm sure he regretted saying it immediately after.

 

[ant1532]

eh you're adding context that wasn't implied

 

[leroidys]

Definitely a rape joke, extremely poor taste.

Yeah, I think it is an over reaction myself. When I got shots as a kid my parents told me the same thing.

The doctor said "just let it happen"?

 

[TheLastCandle]

Awful presentation, but I don't think it was meant as a rape joke.

 

[ComputerMKII]

When did he talk about rape? Stop looking for rape where it doesn't exist.

 

[Lombax]

what a shock kotaku pounced on it.

 

[Punkster_NY]

wow that was an incredibly inappropriate thing to say. black dude getting fired in 5...4...3..2..1

 

[TentPole]

Pretty sure there was no rape joke.

 

[XANDER CAGE]

I'm not sure I'd consider that a rape joke, but either way

man

that banter was so awkward. It was really hard to tell what was scripted and what wasn't - "does this nerd even have many friends?" and this whole exchange made me want to melt into the floor.

 

[GamerJM]

Didn't even realize that was about rape.

 

[marrec]

Poor choice of words, but I don't think the guy was going for a rapey vibe. Equality means not ascribing intentions into words just because it's a guy saying it to a girl...

 

[The Albatross]

Wait...

"Just let it happen it'll be over soon..."

Rape joke? What

 

[Pineconn]

I... didn't catch this the first time.

 

[peanutbutterlatte]

There's plenty of legitimate things to trash Microsoft's conference for. This is not one of them. This is awkward trash talk taken out of context for the benefit of YouTube views.

 

[devious.one]

Are we serious with this?

 

[AkuMifune]

Didn't even realize that was about rape.

It wasn't. He meant just take the beating.

 

[rdrr gnr]

No.

 

[GulAtiCa]

yeah.. that was awkward.
