First off, let us say that there is nothing, and we mean nothing, funny about rape. Yesterday, War Machine of Bellator sent out the following distasteful tweet referencing his adult film star girlfriend Christy Mack, which you gotta see to believe.

Just raped @ChristyMack She tried to make me wait until "after errands" As if! =p

Wow. Really? Obviously, that "joke" received some backlash which prompted War Machine to get all defensive through a series of tweets.

Apparently you idiots didn't read my tweet prior to the one y'all are crying about, it puts it in the right context. Sensitive ass bitches.
Context is the word...y'all motherfuckers just love to take what I say out of CONTEXT and then attempt to demonize me with it. #DIESLOW

After the dust settled and maybe dude came to his senses, he sent out a more sincere, apologetic tweet.  

I tweeted something earlier that was stupid, insensitive and wrong. Rape is never something to joke about ever. I sincerely apologize.

While it's good to see that WM saw the issue with what he said, it's still concerning that he even thought something like that would be funny in the first place. SMDH.
