While certainly in bad taste, I'm a bit curious as to who should be considered the bullies here; the niche group of Canadian oil field workers sharing a tasteless joke, or the people who got hold of said joke and decided to both send it across the internet and send it straight to GT herself en masse for commentary/reaction. "Have you seen this cartoon of you being violated? Isn't it horrible?!" times a few thousand. I know what I'd find more bothersome.


Quote:
the perpatrator of the cartoon need to make a public apology and do some type of community service.


Like it or not, GT is a political figure and this sort of thing, while tasteless, falls under political speech. An apology is their perogative, but no crime has been commited here. No need to go Charlie Hebdo.

Charlie Hebdo is what came to mind. That is why I said she is not Muhammad. It seems it is far more than her being just a political future. She has reached icon cult status. And most anything that is leveled against her is basically being viewed as sacrilege.

We are winnning because an unknown dork combined a racy tattoo stencil with the name greta and an oil company logo.

It's a gross depiction of rape, I don't see where "if" or "but" comes into the equation.

For what it's worth I couldn't give a hoot about her as a person, autistic or not, I admire her courage.


Try being less cryptic please. Especially when you are doling out admonishments and insults. And no, I will not be careful. She is not a child any more than I am, and she is not Jesus Christ or Mohamed. And it is not a gross depiction of rape - it is just a simplistic tattoo stencil that someone added a name to.

What's going to happen when someone photoshops Greta's head onto a random porn shot? People are going to need to be given tranquilizers over something like that. will probably suffer from PTSD afterwards.

I don't know why you have a problem with people talking about Greta Thunberg, you really are all over every thread like a rash, trying to make it about you or Trump, or something else. Why?

I did not say anything about Trump in this thread. You are obviously all mixed up as to who is saying what, which is leading to the confusion of others reading your disjointed accusations and name calling.

What has she 'consented' to ?


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 .


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.


Of course, that is what he meant. How could it be legitimately seen in any other way? Next, some people will be accusing us of misogyny by pointing this out. People like to put their own twist on things. Nothing new.

I wondered how pulling a girl's hair could be considered sexual assault, so I had a look.

Oh. She doesn't have any clothes on. Okay. That changes things, doesn't it.

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

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


Not Greta personally - but it does smack of a publicity stunt to certain degree.


This could very easily be a "False flag" event. People, in general, are so easily manipulated. That is why I prefer not to immediately get emotionally involved.

I haven't seen any images of the cartoon here. May I ask why? Are there any objections to my posting it in this thread?
As Fnord mentioned, the image is actually only a modified trope.
I'd like to point out that in the cartoon, the image is portraying a brunette, not a blonde. This is a relevant point in the discussion.

I object. It's against the rules but moreover, it's disgusting and inappropriate.

It would be highly insensitive for members to see porn violence against their will, and for anyone who has experienced assault to be triggered in this safe space we call home.

We don't need anyone perpetuating this type of image, or giving it more power than it already has.

Anyone with half a brain and an Internet connection can see the images, so there is no need to post them here.

I have a feeling the tattoo artist who drew the thing years ago was not trying to depict a violent rape scene.

Having just looked up the image out of curiosity, I'll say that its a lot milder than most are probably imagining. Though you can find solace in that the artist that made the original stencil is planning to sue. Good luck to him I guess, though Im not sure how likely he is to win.

Like I said earlier, it depicts a common porn trope -- "Giddyup" I think it's called. Since the original drawing preceded Ms. Thunberg's arrival on the international scene by several years, it is a long stretch of the imagination to claim that the original drawing was intended to depict her. The modified drawing was certainly in poor taste at the very least, however. I'd like to see that "artist" get thoroughly doxed.

The image is socially unacceptable and it's not a big deal if there is a public reaction against it. That point stands, regardless of which public figure is being depicted and how so ever you feel about them.
