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.

    Honestly, did you even read what I wrote? Yes, these topics need to be talked about much more. But in a way that actually addresses the core of the problem, which this oversimplified message simply does not.

    Discourse implies actually listening, or in this case reading, as well.
