[QUOTE="Cadence, post: 6182153, member: 6701124"] I was under the impression that a lot of the people offended by PA's conduct understood the original strip and had no problem with it. A few posts from those upset with PA even start by explaining that. Instead they claim to be upset with how PA responded to those who were offended by the original strip by mocking all those who are concerned about a "rape culture" (perhaps one where around 1 in 6 women are subject to attack and many are afraid to report it?), mocking those worried about trigger warnings, and making a shirt using the personification of rape as a standard to fight for free (consequence-less?) speech. So, it seems odd to see discussions on how people treated PA unfairly about this that focus only on the original strip and ignore the later actions. [COLOR=#000000] Were his guns a bit closer to: "Anyone who's offended by my comedy deserves to be mocked, and if that catches a bunch of previously unoffended people in the cross-fire then they should just suck it up too"? [/COLOR][COLOR=#000000]Following some of the arguments by other posters above, it seems reasonable to me that he just responded to those who over-reacted and accused him of falsely being insensitive and worse by over-reacting and actually being insensitive himself.[/COLOR][COLOR=#000000] If fighting against over-reaction on-line is someone's pet cause... should at least some of their outrage land on PA too?
