The problem is that the perception is wrong. In any objective playthrough, you won\'t see Duke making a joke out of the women getting raped. When he put the women out of their misery, he\'s remorseful about it. When the Holsom Twins die, Duke is notably angry. The only joke he cracks at the Holsom Twins was after he caught up to the twins and thought he could rescue them (the women don\'t explode yet, so Duke, at that point, doesn\'t know they\'ll die). So he cracked a joke to help reduce some tension in a stressful situation, and the twins actually crack a joke back. When they die, Duke swears revenge. No where in the entire game is rape actually treated as a joke. Yeah, in the Hive, Duke still cracks jokes at the aliens, but that\'s at the ALIENS, not the human women.
