[QUOTE="Dannager, post: 6182635, member: 73683"] Yes, it is. The people they are responding to are the people who accused them of being rape apologists, or of promoting rape culture. Those people deserve to be belittled. If you aren't one of the people who was conflating the PA guys with rapists, you weren't who they were satirizing. Did you think that comic was supposed to be an apology? It wasn't. It was them highlighting how obscenely ridiculous it is of people to draw a link between making a comical reference to rape in a comic strip and supporting rapists. It "claims" to be an apology in the same way I might "claim" to be the Queen of England. Yes, it was condescending and insincere.
