MRAs "parody" Anti-Rape Poster

Quote
- Posters that parody a successful anti-rape campaign developed in Edmonton and now used worldwide are offensive and likely violate copyright rules, says a University of Alberta professor involved in developing the campaign.

The posters put up around the University of Alberta campus and possibly downtown this week use images from the Don’t Be That Guy campaign and change the text to send the opposite message, said Lise Gotell, chair of the U of A’s department of women’s and gender studies and an expert on Canadian sexual assault law.

Gross.

Ripping off anti-rape posters to make rape-apologist posters. Classy.

Sometimes I just think of quitting college. Not just because of these bullshit increases in student loans, but because I want nothing to do with these dudebros who think rape is love and there should be nothing to stop them from losing their virginity in the most vile fashion imaginable... Though in reality, I've been around people who think PewDiePie (Jon Kjellsberg, I believe his name is) and Daniel Tosh, along with other jokesters who use rape as comedy are funny and not disgusting assholes. Still not better.

I'm saying this because these disgusting posters came from a college environment.

Because they're a bunch a misogynist assholes with a persecution complex who want nothing but to go back to the times where women were seen and used, but not heard or making something of themselves.
I came up with this signature all by myself.

You're welcome.

Incidentally, the MRAs are wastes of oxygen.

Although this is a perfect illustration of what is wrong with the MRA movement this is nowhere near the worst of MRA's.


Even when they have a point, even when they have a real problem that relates to men they either use it as an excuse to attack women or just show it off in a way that does more damage to their own cause.

And really, there are issues with men that need attention, there are MRA's that are intellegent and do not hate women, but the image of the movement is taken by the loud assholes and misogynists and people who just want a place where they can insult women without being called out for it. And even if there are men's issues it does not mean that women's issues should be ignored either.

Let's examine the "parody" poster:
They seem to be referring to the false rape accusations. Now that is a real problem even if it is rarer than ACTUAL FUCKING RAPE! But don't use a anti-rape campaign poster. There are rapes and trying to discredit an anti-rape campaign is a dick move. Besides, I don't think that anti-rape advocates like false-rape accusations any more than you do.

They could just point out that everyone should be concidered innocent untill proven guilty? You know, just because person X is a suspect of a crime does not mean that they should be ostraciced untill the courts have decided if they are guilty or not. And this works both ways too, your first reaction to someone reporting ANY crime can't be "Well you are probably just lying."

I do admit that false-rape accusations are a troublesome subject. Everytime someone is falsely convicted of rape that persons life is ruined, but if we start beign overly suspicious about rape accusations it means that the real victims won't dare to come out.

(Also, slut shaming and any variation of "he/she was asking for it" should be punishable with a baseball bat to the knee.)
No matter what happens, no matter what my last words may end up being, I want everyone to claim that they were:
"If you strike me down, I shall become more powerful than you could possibly imagine."
Aww, you guys rock. :)  I feel the love... and the pitchforks and torches.  Tingly!

Anyone who believes that men are discriminated against is, by definition, a fuckwit.
