Alert result. oneshooter Nov 2013 #5

Thanks for the info. Always amusing to see what the alert trolls are up to Major Nikon Nov 2013 #16

The PSA is obviously aimed at male college studenrs NuclearDem Nov 2013 #8

Seems almost as insulting as "please be careful of others" sign at the local swimming pool. LanternWaste Nov 2013 #10

Rape is not an accident. Bonobo Nov 2013 #14

Looks like the troops have been alerted... opiate69 Nov 2013 #11

it is a plague i tell you. loli phabay Nov 2013 #13

And, it just continues to grow.... opiate69 Nov 2013 #46

we should set up a pool for when the first ask the admin question gets posted on this op loli phabay Nov 2013 #12

What's especially amusing is when.. opiate69 Nov 2013 #15

Cool! I'll have to scope it out in a few opiate69 Nov 2013 #24

wow mercuryblues Nov 2013 #19

I am not mocking it. I am calling it out as insulting, useless BS. Bonobo Nov 2013 #20

you are mocking mercuryblues Nov 2013 #21

It is NOT a PSA aimed at preventing rape, that's the thing. Bonobo Nov 2013 #22

yes it is mercuryblues Nov 2013 #23

No, it really is not. Bonobo Nov 2013 #26

Oh, if I just mercuryblues Nov 2013 #28

No, I am not mocking it. I am criticizing it. AND it is not a PSA. Bonobo Nov 2013 #30

yes mercuryblues Nov 2013 #32

Your getting rather repetitive. Bonobo Nov 2013 #33

is it mercuryblues Nov 2013 #36

please make up your mind mercuryblues Nov 2013 #34

OK. It is NOT a PSA. Bonobo Nov 2013 #39

oh mercuryblues Nov 2013 #41

You're being ridiculous. Bonobo Nov 2013 #43

Well I guess I mercuryblues Nov 2013 #55

But I have told you that I am not mocking it. Bonobo Nov 2013 #56

what you mercuryblues Nov 2013 #60

Yes, and I would like to see that issue addressed. Bonobo Nov 2013 #61

unfortunately mercuryblues Nov 2013 #62

The lowest common denominator is saying to EVERY MAN that Bonobo Nov 2013 #64

Anti-rape ads that portray women as "asking for it" are mocked by feminists quite often Major Nikon Nov 2013 #63

Not to mention adds that offer sensible preventative measures. Bonobo Nov 2013 #65

Yes mercuryblues Nov 2013 #66

"The message that rapists rather than victims are responsible is a good one." arcane1 Nov 2013 #38

That's like agreeing that water is wet. nt Bonobo Nov 2013 #40

And sometimes, very stupid people need to be reminded of that. arcane1 Nov 2013 #44

It is NOT that big of a deal Bonobo Nov 2013 #45

I don't know how much I want to weigh into this davidpdx Nov 2013 #25

Correct. It is NOT a PSA. Bonobo Nov 2013 #27

Now, I'm not trying to tell you how to make your argument davidpdx Nov 2013 #29

I'm sorry you were exposed to an anti-rape PSA. ZombieHorde Nov 2013 #31

Pffft. Straw. nt Bonobo Nov 2013 #47

I am surprised by your callous and nasty remarks. Behind the Aegis Nov 2013 #48

It is an anti-rape video. ZombieHorde Nov 2013 #49

If it said.... Behind the Aegis Nov 2013 #50

The video doesn't say "Men, ...." nt ZombieHorde Nov 2013 #51

But they are the only ones stating it, aren't they? Behind the Aegis Nov 2013 #52

If you're looking for homophobia, you will be hard pressed to find it from me. ZombieHorde Nov 2013 #53

No, I was just using your passive-aggressive technique. Behind the Aegis Nov 2013 #54

"You made it a personal attack on his opinions that he is some woman-hating asshole" ZombieHorde Nov 2013 #72

So why are you so offended by victim oriented rape prevention media? Major Nikon Nov 2013 #59

For a while, all rape prevention seemed to be victim oriented, ZombieHorde Nov 2013 #70

You mean like this... Major Nikon Nov 2013 #73

If the video said.... Major Nikon Nov 2013 #58

Has there been an epidemic of babies being drowned in bathtubs? ZombieHorde Nov 2013 #69

No analogy is a direct comparison Major Nikon Nov 2013 #74

The profiling is in your mind, not the video. nt ZombieHorde Nov 2013 #75

So is doublethink Major Nikon Nov 2013 #78

The doublethink is in your mind, and not the video? ZombieHorde Nov 2013 #82

Sure you do Major Nikon Nov 2013 #87

I know you think that I suport profiling men, and not muslims, ZombieHorde Nov 2013 #100

Then you should think about it more Major Nikon Nov 2013 #102

I should probably think about everything more. nt ZombieHorde Nov 2013 #109

"Men" are not a minority group. MadrasT Nov 2013 #76

So it's OK to discriminate against men? Major Nikon Nov 2013 #77

... unless one owns a dictionary. lumberjack_jeff Nov 2013 #80

! opiate69 Nov 2013 #88

did you check out my new profile pic. loli phabay Nov 2013 #105

No.. I lost the damn url.. Can you remind me in PM? opiate69 Nov 2013 #106

rofl, rapier like loli phabay Nov 2013 #104

Did you come here to address the OP comments or just to denigrate the poster? Major Nikon Nov 2013 #57

This 46 year-old man has no problem with it. arcane1 Nov 2013 #35

thank you mercuryblues Nov 2013 #37

15 seconds of it was plenty enough for me. HuskiesHowls Nov 2013 #42

Ya know, I don't think I've seen a dumber argument on DU. jeff47 Nov 2013 #67

If you are going to call another argument dumb, you may want to do a better job of forming yours Major Nikon Nov 2013 #79

I stand corrected. You've managed an even dumber post. jeff47 Nov 2013 #84

If you want to sling shit, GD is the place for you Major Nikon Nov 2013 #86

"But he'll be getting told not to rape, even if he's a saint." ProudToBeBlueInRhody Nov 2013 #81

Shockingly enough, kids are not nearly as stupid as the op. jeff47 Nov 2013 #83

Well, my parents never had to tell me that.... ProudToBeBlueInRhody Nov 2013 #85

If you think your kid could be a rapist... Bonobo Nov 2013 #94

This, times a google. opiate69 Nov 2013 #95

My kids know all sorts of things I did not have to put explicitly. Bonobo Nov 2013 #96

Ditto that.... opiate69 Nov 2013 #97

The whole thing looks and sounds glib and tongue-in-cheek. lumberjack_jeff Nov 2013 #68

Group that made this PSA: hrmjustin Nov 2013 #71

Some seem to think it's significant that a group of men made the video Major Nikon Nov 2013 #103

I think people care more that it works. Rape is a major problem in this society and we need to hrmjustin Nov 2013 #111

Jeff's response was spot on. You can view it at post#68. Major Nikon Nov 2013 #112

You don't have to like it. It is not going to be pleasant talking about it. hrmjustin Nov 2013 #113

Actually, that's kind of the point of advertising. lumberjack_jeff Nov 2013 #115

I think it should make both men and women nod. I was nodding when I heard it. hrmjustin Nov 2013 #116

I saw a statistic that 1 in 5 women in this nation are raped. I think we can get over this video. hrmjustin Nov 2013 #114

I still say, if the PSA prevents a single rape, it's worth it. Warren DeMontague Nov 2013 #89

Without a doubt that is true. Nt Bonobo Nov 2013 #90

First time in a decade, I'm blocking someone from PMing me. Warren DeMontague Nov 2013 #91

Apparently someone has time for it ProudToBeBlueInRhody Nov 2013 #92

Did she really send you a PM that said "Fuck you"? Bonobo Nov 2013 #93

Well.. Those who were paying attention... opiate69 Nov 2013 #98

To be fair, it was concise, and to the point. Warren DeMontague Nov 2013 #99

The "whine" phrase is an intentionally sexist attempt at belittling men. Bonobo Nov 2013 #101

In case no one caught it the first 5 times: Warren DeMontague Nov 2013 #117

That one also shares attributes with Dorthy's other traveling companions Major Nikon Nov 2013 #108

Here we go again... TreasonousBastard Nov 2013 #107

Yeah. Warren DeMontague Nov 2013 #110

Much as a "Swimmers: please be careful, don't run and stay safe" sign at a swimming pool is insultin LanternWaste Feb 2018 #118

Much as 'No spitting or blowing nose in the pool' is insulting to swimmers, eh? LanternWaste Sep 2018 #119
