I'm sure all the women (or this specific woman in particular) are all like, "Rape is GOOOOOOOD!" Sorry, Charlie, but you're completely taking the back roads on this one to crazy town.that just is kind of a lame / overdone joke, and it's essentially equating "messing with my childhood" to rape! Which reinforces rape culture in general
Again, it's just subtly reinforcing rape culture.I'm sure all the women (or this specific woman in particular) are all like, "Rape is GOOOOOOOD!" Sorry, Charlie, but you're completely taking the back roads on this one to crazy town.
Actually, I think you are on the expressway.
That's being rather insensitive about this Charlie. Women can like women's boobs and butts too.speaking of boobs and butts (since women are only worth their parts that men like)
What women like isn't important to the patriarchy at all.That's being rather insensitive about this Charlie. Women can like women's boobs and butts too.

Yup. He's just trying to get us to watch what we say, because when we say we wanna kill someone for making a silly movie, that's kind of a ridiculous thing to say.
He's not the poster we deserve, but the poster we need right now.
You rang?"Whoah, you've got a great rack" / "shake that ass, man you've got a big booty"
I'm sure if anyone here took the time, they could misconstrue and pull apart some of Charlie's non-reactionary posts in the same way he does to others.It's not really hate, at least for me it's not. I don't hate CDS. I don't hate anyone on the forums, for that matter. The repetition is just annoying, in a sad, ultimately defeatist kind of way. Charlie Don't Surf if you really do stand for all of the causes that you're constantly championing around here, then I really honestly respect you for that. But constantly rubbing everyone else' faces in the fact that anything they say could be taken negatively, whether they mean it that way or not, isn't doing you or these causes one damn bit of good. It's like the boy who cried wolf, or some other cliche that I can't think of right now. Eventually everyone thinks they know what you're going to say so they either just ignore you or they bait you into arguing with them. Either way, the message either gets completely overlooked because you're the one who said it and everyone's just goading you for kicks and/or ignoring what you say, or it gets so watered down that it's meaningless. It's like finding a song you love to listen to, and then listening to it over and over again until you can't stand it, only it's worse because not only are you listening to it over and over and getting sick of this one song, you're doing it by standing right next to the speakers at the club and going deaf so you can't hear any messages at all anymore.
Or that many of us have made the same type of comment before, but for some reason he decided to pick on a woman who made it. Sexist...Quotemander Prime said:I'm sure if anyone here took the time, they could misconstrue and pull apart some of Charlie's non-reactionary posts in the same way he does to others.
Like that time he said he liked Spider-man, but he couldn't be bothered to include that he liked Spider-woman in the same post. Why? Because he prefers Spider-man to Spider-woman. That sexist monster.
Oh, and just wondering how that reinforces rape culture? I'm honestly curious, since it's not excusing rape or making it sound good in any way.Charlie Don't Surf said:that just is kind of a lame / overdone joke, and it's essentially equating "messing with my childhood" to rape!

This could be an interesting discussion, but might it be better done in its own thread in the politics, etc. area?Oh, and just wondering how that reinforces rape culture? I'm honestly curious, since it's not excusing rape or making it sound good in any way.
Maybe, which brings out the bigger question of why Charlie didn't bring this to her in PM's of it was that big of a problem. Why try to humiliate her instead of educate her? I'm not going to make a thread for him, since he already said he's too tired to defend it. If he's going to call some one out though, he better be willing to back it up. Especially when you say they're reinforcing rape culture.This could be an interesting discussion, but might it be better done in its own thread in the politics, etc. area?
It reinforces rape culture by devaluing the horror of rape. Think about other things that get overused, like the word awesome. If you call every little thing awesome, then how do you express yourself when you come across something that truly is awe inspiring? I'd call it language decay, more than empowering some sort of perceived culture that thinks rape is ok, however.Oh, and just wondering how that reinforces rape culture?
