Discounting for a moment that these are targeted at a college-age demographic, are there people out there on the verge of committing sexual assault who would be swayed by the advise of a cartoon taco?

  • Edit -

Personally, I think the message featured in these posters is of the utmost importance.

I think it should be broadcast and re-broadcast, at all levels, until the population has been saturated by it.

That the message is here being broadcast using signage suitable for a fourth grade classroom but aimed at a college demographic is horrifying. That such signage would be a necessary tool of communication within that demographic is fucking TERRIFYING.

This was posted not to belittle the message or to make light of our need for it - but to highlight just how pitifully we have failed as a culture/civilization for having the need to implement it..

I considered deleting this post entirely, under the notion that my intentions had misfired badly. But the discourse in this thread seems like it has as much potential to be a part of the solution as a talking anthropomorphic taco.

Art should challenge conceptions and ignite dialogue. So, perhaps the taco was an effective tool.

Do you actually believe that there is only "rapists" and "good people" in this world? Because no, there are indeed lots of stupid teenagers out there who genuinely do not understand how to talk to people. This poster is not just about straight up rape but also about unsolicited saying of weird shit, or non-consensual hugging and things of that nature.

No this poster alone wont change anything, but if kids are primed for awareness to these issues (from lessons, events or experiences) this poster might just remind someone of those things they learned.

Either way it doesnt hurt anyone...

Great point! Also it isn't just teenagers, adults do this a lot, too! Also I'd venture a guess that most rape is accidental and borne from a lack of education rather than malicious. Doesn't make it less rape, but it does challenge our views of what a "rapist" looks like.

When we understand we are all capable of rape, we can all help to prevent it and change into better people.
