Greta Thunberg shown being sexually assaulted in cartoon sticker featuring Canadian oilfield company logo

Quote:
A cartoon sticker depicting Greta Thunberg being sexually assaulted was reportedly circulating as promotional material at oilfields in Canada.

It also includes the logo of X-Site Energy Services, a Canadian oil company.

The disturbing sticker shows a man’s hands grabbing a girl’s pigtails from behind, and the name “Greta” is written on the girl’s back. The X-Site logo appears underneath the cartoon image.

While the picture was circulating among oil workers earlier this week, the physical stickers were not distributed, Huffington Post Canada reported. Instead, they had apparently been pitched as hardhat decorations.

An X-Site spokesperson told HuffPost Canada that X-Site had nothing to do with the printing or distribution of the stickers.

Michelle Narang first posted the image on Facebook and told HuffPost Canada that “It’s sad to me [the sticker] went through a supply chain of people, who thought about it, printed it and distributed it. It blows my mind anyone would think it’s funny.”

Canadian police investigated whether the sticker should be considered child pornography, but decided it didn’t “meet the criteria for it to constitute a criminal offence.”

Disgusting yes. But at 17 she is one year above the age of consent in Canada and two years above it in Sweden.

Look up "X-Site Greta sticker" in images. There is not much to see. It is a pretty simplistic illustration that is more suggestive than graphic.

This story sounds very similar to that of Jussie Smollett. And you know how that story turned out.

He was responding to the question of whether or not it was child pornography.

I know that . I just couldn't see any point or relevance to it , unless you believe when a female becomes an adult that she's fair game for such behaviour .

Excellent point firemonkey.

The thing is that Trump and Putin are adults as well, and they likely didn't consent to the comics showing them in bed together either. Unfortunately when adults are in the political spotlight they are often the butt of jokes, whether male or female.

Are you really saying that Greta drew the cartoon put it on the internet to go viral to prove her opponents are misogynists?

I think he was simply trying to point out that she is not a child. Nothing to do with whether she consented to the drawing, or anything else.

I was wondering what he meant by that too. Why would Greta fake such a thing?

I wonder if she wore makeup, false eyelashes and painted on eyebrows like many young women her age, would people still call her a child? Add in some facial piercings!

I mean no disrespect to anyone, including Greta. I just want to know why it's considered disgusting and inappropriate to show this happen to a young woman, but not when it's men in similar sex acts without consent? When it's men (e.g., Trump and Putin), people seem to laugh and think it's funny. I don't understand why women are considered more vulnerable, or why they're protected more in public opinion.

Very valid point.
