The problem is people who equate rape jokes (which are ok, if tasteless) and rape culture (which is not okay, and must be stopped).

The dickwolves thing was well done specifically because it was a joke (not a rape joke, even) that happened to use the word rape that caused a massive freakout among those who don't understand the actual problem and instead wish to attack the symptoms.

Rape jokes are not a positive identifier for those who perpetuate rape culture.
