Forum Overview :: Rants :: The outcry over the comic was ridiculous, the t-shirt was an unnecessary fuck

[quote name="Noi Dau Don"]you to decent though overreactive people; it has the effective weight of giving official PA backpats to the idea of trolling and mocking anti-rape activists. Bad decisions were made all around. The only winning strategy is for the PA guys to immediately stop selling the shirts and donate all the proceeds from previous sales to local battered women's shelters, Planned Parenthood, etc. And to issue a statement that says it's not cool to belittle the real-life issue of rape or the real-life activities of anti-rape activists, but comics about video game dickwolves, while tasteless, are considerably less about belittling rape and considerably more about belittling the surreal ethical structures fomented by video games - part of which includes the idea that it's bizarre for any hero to leave rape victims in their misery, purely for reasons of expediency, when he could prevent it. <i>We're sorry we initially overreacted, I guess this rape business is a mindfuck for us too, and we hope these actions take at least some small step towards repairing the damage.</i> [/quote]
