I mean it's a good point to make. Video just has a confusing way of getting it out there

 

[Paper Sparrow]

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

What if my neighbor is a rapist? Do we cancel each other out?

I cannot tell if this is serious or not.

 

[terrisus]

Took the silly subtlety out for them:

There we go.

 

[Saintguine]

So you're a rapist for being a good Samaritan and rushing to stop what you think is a rape?

Well done guys.

What is the point exactly?

 

[Kraftwerk]

Add disney characters to the list.

How would you have set up the project differently?

Some people on Facebook are saying it should have said " This is what a hero looks like" above the mirror.


p.s what the fuck at your link

There is a very clear line between saying someone who likes like me/you can be a rapist and saying the person you see in the missor could be a rapist.

 

[Kite]

Yer all dirty MRAs, shush and be ashamed~

 

[akira28]

Where are dogs and cats on the list?

don't forget the ducks and dolphins.

But really, serious presentation problem that hurts the message.

I don't understand why I should look at someone and think "they could be a rapist".

The fucking comments, wtf?

[Monocle]

This sort of idiocy sabotages authentic efforts to combat sexual violence. Portraying all men as potential rapists is in the same ugly vein as the idea that all women invite rape by "provoking" their potential or actual attackers. How vile.

 

[Hydranockz]

What's the line?

I don't understand why I should look at someone and think "they could be a rapist".

Do you look at yourself and think you could be a rapist?

That's the line.

Edit: Wait, I think you might actually be saying there is no need for either question. I can see why you'd say that. I'm just saying why this particular way of asking the question is a lot weirder than other ways.

Awareness is the first step to combating rape culture.
If you're aware of the fact that everyone you see is a potential rapist, you will do your bit to report suspicious behaviour (like someone's SO showing up with a bruise at work) to the authorities.

 

[FUME5]

That's a dumb fucking way to go about it.

This dude thinks he's a lot more clever than he is. Reasonable point muddled in clumsy SJW execution.

There's a difference between anyone could be a rapist and you could be a rapist.

I get what they are going for but the execution and the exclusion of women as a possibility hurt the message.

 

[Liu Kang Baking A Pie]

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.

To be fair, the majority of those arguments come from men who justify victim blaming and such with things like "this is just how men are, we're biologically wired for sex." Everything about rape is too deeply politicized and over examined in the wrong ways.

 

[Tesseract]

beholden upon mine ultimate form, plebs.

 

[fader]

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

get your double standards out of this thread!

You're assuming that no one is a repeat offender. That's a pretty derpy assumption to make.

 

[BPoole]

That was kind of dumb and doesn't clearly get their message across

[SquiddyCracker]

Yeah, but you get the gist of it.
I'm also a bit off on the exact percentage (I think it might be 3%), but my point still stands - someone in this thread is a potential sexual assaulter.

 

[RELAYER]

Do you look at yourself and think you could be a rapist?

That's the line.

No, I don't.

I don't understand how that's the line, because I also don't think that while looking at others.

Thinking of everyone I see as a potential rapist is not "awareness". It's paranoia.

 

[davepoobond]

Potential rapists rush in to get in on the raping.

Yep

 

[ZiZ]

was she raped by a mirror?

 

[akira28]

dear god. Dr....Manhattan?

 

[thepotatoman]

I really hate it when people passively attack others, and then act like it's an admission of guilt when they rightfully interpret it as an attack instead of a neutral passive statement. It's not the first time I've seen someone do that and call it art, and it's unfortunately probably not the last.

Fighting rape culture isn't that hard. Just do more ads reminding people that rape goes beyond the back ally violent stranger and telling guys to not just stand around when others are acting rapey. You don't do it by including a back alley violent style rape in that ad.

 

[Monocle]

Awareness is the first step to combating rape culture.
If you're aware of the fact that everyone you see is a potential rapist, you will do your bit to report suspicious behaviour (like someone's SO showing up with a bruise at work) to the authorities.

Being that you are a potential rapist, potential child abuser, potential crack whore, potential murderer, and potential animal fucker, you disgust me!

I'm not saying you're any of these things, I'm just appalled at your capacity to become them.

 

[Poltergust]

I'm not sure which is worse:

A) Saying that people trying to help stop a rape could potentially be rapists themselves (I can understand the point, but this was executed really poorly).
B) The sexism going on with that word bank. I'm not sure if it's intentional or not, either.

 

[way more]

Where are dogs and cats on the list?

Seriously. Or Gerbils, I heard like 20 of them gang raped a famous musician and everyone just makes jokes of it now.



Edit: WTF, what about actuaries, or CPA's? List is bullshit.

 

[Transhuman]

If I reported every person I saw with a bruise who has a SO to the police...
People get bruises and most of the time it don't mean shit. A girl I know always complains about bruises because her boyfriend hits her in his sleep. There's awareness, and there's Kony 2014, and this video is the latter.

 

[riotous]

Yeah, but you get the gist of it.

A bit off? 30% to 3%?

 

[Northeastmonk]

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.

Sure, in nursing school this is all I hear. Men are prime subjects for rape, sexual assault, incest, etc, etc, etc. Women are like a small percentage, but it's coming from women who sleep with their students or someone underage. I'm sure there's a percentage who commit such crimes, but the statistics and research normally say it's a male problem.

What can you do as a male? Its as if we do need someone standing up for us. It's crazy hearing these facts from a professional hired to teach students.

 

[Spring-Loaded]

Seriously. Or Gerbils, I heard like 20 of them gang raped a famous musician and everyone just makes jokes of it now.

Uh, dolphins rape.

 

[Kinyou]

....he opened the door but all he found was a mirror and a message that read:

"No John, you are the rapists"

And then John was the rapists

 

[Monocle]

But who was phone?

 

[Tabby]

I do not get the message they're trying to convey.
The only thing I got from this video is that they're calling me a rapist.

I'm disturbed by the fact that people just walked off, like they heard what was going on but they were like "Oh shit better bail, someone's getting raped."
Cowards.

 

[Sho_Nuff82]

Oh man.

[FUME5]

Out by an order of magnitude, you just accused an additional 36000 people of being rapsists.

 

[Soulflarz]

I'm disturbed by the fact that people just walked off, like they heard what was going on but they were like "Oh shit better bail, someone's getting raped."
Cowards.

And the fact that by this videos logic theyre less likely to be rapists apparently

 

[Crayons]

But who was phone?

the rape is coming from inside the house

 

[Kite]

That's a dumb fucking way to go about it.



I don't know if I can believe those stats, I sure don't want to.

I'm hoping those stats are using the definition of sexual assault includes harassment like leering, displaying sexually explicit materials, inappropriate sexual jokes and comments on people's bodies and cat-calling. Otherwise it seems absurdly high.

 

[BlueDogAnchorite]

What's the line?

You are basically dehumanizing the person.
