I'm not sure that banning rape jokes is moral progress at a time when
rape and sexual violence is the main theme in the massively popular
Game of Thrones series. And the books have many times more such events
than the TV series. It seems to be more PC display than anything else.
And, of course, the little story has no rude words in it at all. If
the reader wants to substitute filthy words then that is their
responsibility.  Unless you are a mathematician of course - in which
case it is probably extremely erotic.  :)
