Your job is to maximise your company profits, not to become the worlds policeman.
If you were to decide to have a conscience you should go and help some ebola victims or starving kids or rape victims rather than concentrating your fire (anonymously) against some tourettes sufferer.
And get yourself manned up, because you'll be coming down after Christmas(\__/)

If you're happy to sit in the corner with your head down pretending the world around you doesn't exist, then that's your prerogative. For me, however, contractor or not - I don't put up with things like that.Comment

Why are jokes bad? It's obvious they are jokes. Comedy should be able to cross all boundaries and have no censorship. Maybe for this guy making jokes about rape prevents him from actually raping someone.Comment

Unless the nature of this rapey joking is much more serious than the OP makes clear (i.e. if it's personal especially) then telling HR or whoever is akin to those utter cretins who get kids arrested for saying hurtful things on twitter.
I.e. - get a life for goodness sake. You're a guest at ClientCo - leave it to the permies to complain.
Taking offence is ALWAYS a choice.Comment
