The Public Rape Experiment

This video is making the rounds right now, and a lot people are furious. To summarize the video, here is the screencap from the ending;

Anyone who doesn't want to give him clicks; he has audio being played of a girl struggling and a guy threatening her. People in the bathroom can hear it, and run to help, but instead are greeted by the mirror.

 

[terrisus]

Husband is on that list, but Wife isn't?
Same deal with Brother but not Sister, and Father but not Mother

 

[Coffee Dog]

So uh

Saying policeMAN, mailMAN, and brother and father kinda really detracts from their point

 

[chadtwo]

Hah I don't get it, it sounds like he's punishing those who would try to help the woman by saying that they could be rapists?

 

[Curtisaur]

 

[PaulExcellent]

The lesson is... don't help people in trouble?

 

[Intheflorsh]

I get the point, but this is essentially punishing decent people just for caring.

First: Why? attempt at inducing paranoia? Because paranoia isn't fun at all.

Second: a little sexist.

 

[BlackJet]

Pretty sad that people assume that rape is always committed by men.

What about those of us who were raped by women? "Nahh that never happens." Bullshit.

 

[kingocfs]

"If you have a penis, you're probably a rapist."

 

[shira]

Anybody else think it was weird how Batman was basically all like "you raped me but it was hot"?

Batman shouldn't be cool with being raped

Really disturbing in a cartoon when you hear Batman was raped.

 

[Tzeentch]

The lesson is... don't help people in trouble?

Indeed. Just think of the peace of mind those people now have the next time they hear something and will dismiss as another lame stunt.

 

[Transhuman]

Because nothing raises awareness like simulating a rape so that bystanders will rush to aid only to be preached at to create a click-bait video of their reactions with a poorly orchestrated message tied to it.

 

[striferser]

It make people furious? Geez, i wonder why...

Husband is on that list, but Wife isn't?
Same deal with Brother but not Sister, and Father but not Mother

Bingo.

 

[ghst]

i like the soap opera season cap music. really makes me look back misty nostalgia at all the times i've considered that someone i know might be a rapist.

 

[Count Dookkake]

Potential rapists rush in to get in on the raping.

 

[Aurongel]

This comes across as offensive because of the gender bias going on here. The rest of it is just manipulative.

 

[kai3345]

ANYONE MAN IS CAPABLE OF RAPE

fixed

 

[Retro_]

I want to think the intentions behind this were good

but this is so poorly realized that it's almost counterproductive to the cause it's trying to advocate

 

[Bloodrage]

So women can't be rapists? That's pretty funny considering I was molested by a woman as a kid.

 

[Freaky Fred]

Husband is on that list, but Wife isn't?
Same deal with Brother but not Sister, and Father but not Mother

and fireman but not a firefighter?

 

[Gentle Rodriguez]

Pretty sad that people assume that rape is always committed by men.

I once told a girl women are also capable of rape, she told me I was wrong while looking at me like I'm an idiot.

As if it's impossible to rape if you don't have a penis or something.

So...he thinks people are running in to help in the rape?

 

[bigmf]

In order to piss off everyone, after the "anyone is capable" line they should add "... so dress modestly"

 

[nateeasy]

mailman

 

[Broder Salsa]

and fireman but not a firefighter?

And mailman but not upsman.

 

[zyxwvu4321]

Guess I should go turn myself into the police since I possess a penis.

 

[terrisus]

and fireman but not a firefighter?

If there was a gendered form of the word for "Teacher," I'm sure they would have used that too.
For that matter, I'm half surprised they didn't just drop the pretense and put "Male Teacher."

 

[cashman]

*checks list for engineer*

Whew, looks like I'm safe guys.

 

[Broder Salsa]

You could always just cut it off.

 

[DukeBobby]

I always knew my mirror was up to no good.

 

[The Grim Heaper]

Where are dogs and cats on the list?

I'm not into you guys focusing so strongly on that rather than the totally busted way this guy's going about this with the manipulation. Depending on the situation, people will regularly say "not all men" or "all men" to argue about things, and it misses the point (though the person's point with this project is really bad).

 

[Freaky Fred]

lmao

I should watch out for my mom and brother...

That's close to 40 thousand gaffers.
It is guaranteed that someone in this thread has or will at some point sexually assault or rape a fellow human being.

you have no cousins, friends, or even neighbors?

 

[Darknight]

Really disturbing in a cartoon when you hear Batman was raped.

Um what? Whats the scene about if you dont mind me asking? Did he get forced to make out? lol

 

[Phrozenflame500]

While I understand the intent behind it the execution does rub off as too "You could be a rapist so DON'T RAPE" to be productive at all.

 

[Paper Sparrow]

you have no cousins, friends, or even neighbors?

Oh no... what have I become...

 

[The Grim Heaper]

Oh no... what have I become...

Considering you're very likely a neighbor to someone else... a rapist.

 

[JdFoX187]

Son of Batman spoilers:

Spoiler

They're talking about the last time they were together. Talia slipped something in Batman's drink and essentially date raped him, getting herself pregnant with Damian, his son.

I am 100% a person, which is inclusive of 30% of a person which means that it is guaranteed that at some point one of my extremities will rape a fellow human being.

Bullshit. It has to be higher than that.

Add disney characters to the list.

How would you have set up the project differently?

 

[LyleLanley]

According to the creators comments on that video one of the ideas he had was for the words on the wall to say "#STOP RAPE CULTURE ... PLEASE, Do Not Rape." I really wish he went with that, it would've been too funny.

 

[Cat Party]

I'm not really bothered by the fact that everything is gendered. I am bothered by the suggestion that because I am a man, I am somehow prone to rape.
