Ok, am I crazy for thinking that selling a necklace that says "Rape Me" is wrong? I mean, I understand that people fantasize about forced sex, but isn't a trigger for victims of sexual assault? Or advocating...

for rape in some way? Couldn't a perpetrator see people wearing that kind of necklace and begin to think that rape isn't a big deal since clearly some people fantasize about it? Or is is making light of rape

despite that fact that millions of men and women have been devastatingly effected by it?

I don't think I could ever create something that advocates for rape. I guess I have seen enough documentaries about people who are silenced from seeking justice or about little girls in foreign countries who

Xaqueline Right? Ok, I'm not crazy. I commented on the ad of Flickr because it especially upsets me that it is a gacha.

i dont even think of it as a fashion thing. It's a fetish thing. but even forced sex is technically consensual when the two partners agree to "role play" it.

I find that shit pretty offensive as well.
it's not rape if she's willing but yeah i guess i can see it being a trigger for people who were sexually assaulted
micahkalinakov
says
Right, so why call it rape if you are willing? It's so offensive to people who are raped and assaulted.
