    I think you understood Wells's point just fine. Wells just goes back to that concept of "microagressions" which seems like the homeopathic version of wrong doing. Even though there's no evil in the joke it's just somehow still there apparently.

    I never used that word and I've said nothing like that. I'm right here if you want to talk to me.

    Holy shit that is probably one of the most idiotic slogans I've ever heard.
    Human progress isn't measured by industry. It's measured by the value you place on a life.

    Just, be kind.

Essentially, that we play lip service to treating it as the horror it is while really acting like something else.

    On the issue of jokes, they really should treat violent crimes for what they are, bad things that shouldn't happen, not funny things that maybe should happen or would be funny if they did.
    I don't think I can be convinced that rape culture is a legitimate phenomenon then.

    I think this is hilarious. I don't drink beer but if I can find myself a bottle with that slogan on it you can bet your ass I'll buy one.

    The marketing department must've been drinking this because apparently nobody told them no.

    Dumb people see dumb things in everything. It's the same as saying that "kids, you should always do what you parents tell you to do" perpetuates incest and pedophilia

    Promote rape culture Not at all. What it does is says it will make you have an enjoyable night. I don't know how that comes out to rape culture but hey i'm not an over reacting PC wussy.

    Its just saying takes no out of your vocab which means it makes you have a better night because you're open to new things and having a good time. What is so damn hard to understand?
