Personally, the only thing I find funnier than a sexist joke is a joke making light of murder.

I hope they realize that the "2/10 wouldn't bang" meme is designed to poke fun at the archetypal redditor.

That would require them to be somewhat less than completely oblivious.

The hell.

It seems like Reddit is shifting it's focus from rape to murder in terms of it's criminal apologism today.

I have a theory that it has to do with the "just world" fallacy. Rape and murder are so awful to contemplate (at least if you have the minimum amount of decency) that to open oneself up to feeling empathy or horror is extremely unpleasant and frightening. And so comes the jokes trivializing it, the inane memes repeated over and over, the "well, he/she was asking for it because _____," because if you admit that sometimes horrible things happen to people for no good reason, it's a kick to the gut, it's scary, it's saddening. And some people would prefer, at the cost of their humanity, to avoid those feelings.

Hmm, following that same logic it could be a defense mechanism to avoid thinking about the horror of something like that occurring to themselves or someone they love. They trivialize it now to pretend that it doesn't really exist? You know there was a mini-discussion about an Animal Farm quote that some Redditor was using to justify a misogynistic comment, he said "All people are equal but some are more equal than others." Now, I imagine that it was a 'joke,' but I wonder if they see another Orwell idiom in a truly positive light: "Ignorance is Strength?"

I think it is this. If you let down your defenses, so to speak, and contemplate that picture, it is very uncomfortable. I think people become jaded as a way of protecting themselves, but that really is an artificial strength. True strength comes from empathy and growth, not shutting yourself off from what makes you human.
