Page 5 | To be offended by these stickers on the back of a van?

RosaMoline · 2024-03-24T11:40:18+00:00

So I was on a day trip with a friend yesterday and this van was up ahead of us in the traffic. I’m no prude, but I think these are really offensive (you may need to zoom in) Is it even legal to drive around like this?

OooScotland · 24/03/2024 19:04

…horrible image of a fat dick dripping semen top right…

Thanks. I was wondering what that was.

Offensive, definitely but probably not illegal. Not being familiar with porn sites I didn’t know ‘Fake Taxi’ and it does cross my mind that it should be illegal for the word ‘TAXI’ to be displayed on an unlicensed vehicle, for what I think are obvious reasons.

That’s awful. That’s a potato in the exhaust pipe stuff.

After John Worboys why in the everloving fuck would you want that on your vehicle?! It's beyond tasteless. Sure, all the stickers are gross & I'd be livid if it were my son driving that van, but anything relating to dodgy taxis is beyond the pale for me.

As a thought experiment, how would any of the 'it's just bantz' feel if this van pulled up alongside you whilst you were walking alone at night? Or somewhere remote?

Edited

I would be alarmed if any vehicle pulled up beside me if it was late at night or I was in a remote area, stickers would be irrelevant.

Trying to call women immature because we don't like seeing a misogynist air his filthy attitude in the street is fucked up.

@Begsthequestion

oh FFS. I wasn't calling anyone immature.

she asked why people weren't upset by it.

my point was that I don't get upset by stickers! I think the van driver is a massive twat, but I'm not upset by stickers.

Northernsouloldies · 24/03/2024 12:03

I saw one that said ''my other toy has tits' the owner is an absolute prick, revving car , driving to fast into residential car park.so no surprise at the sticker.

That’s awful. That’s a potato in the exhaust pipe stuff.

I watched detransitioner Carol's video yesterday that dealt with what she had discovered in trans support groups. (It's on the FWR thread). I was struck by her observation that many people in the groups accepted no boundaries to their behaviour. This is the same thing.

Social norms even now do not see this as unproblematic; but we do not know how to deal with behaviour like this. This man with a van believes sees no problem with covering his rear window with obscene sexual images and language, so he does it. IANAL, but I am with @RosaMoline in my reaction to this.

Interesting how so many women on here claim to not watch porn but also know what fake taxi is

@gould I didn't know it was a company. I thought it meant worse than that (hinting at pretending to be a taxi to pick up women & assaulting/raping them) so I'm somewhat relieved it's 'just' a porn site. Though maybe the content is about what I thought? I don't know & im not going to look to find out.

I think they are misogynistic, offensive and insulting. I can't understand why women are not upset by these things.

I can't get too worked up about it.

The owner is clearly a prat, with appalling taste (in cars as well as humour), and someone to avoid. So avoid them.

There are a lot of prats in the world. I'd be exhausted if I let them all upset me.

That's a VW T4, an awesome van.

Owned by an utter weapon clearly.

hangingonfordearlife1 · 24/03/2024 18:30

a lot of these stickers date back from the 90s. pretty nostalgic to be honest - especially those of us who was partying in newquay as teenagers

NonPlayerCharacter · 24/03/2024 18:30

I don't know why he didn't just have a single sticker with "My penis is 2cm fully erect and I haven't got laid since 1995". Exactly the same message and wouldn't clog up so much of his rear windscreen.

YireosDodeAver · 24/03/2024 18:27

Honestly I feel more pity than offence. The man who owns that vehicle is so steeped in toxic masculinity he has no idea who he is or what his potential is. He is so consumed by overwhelming feelings of inadequacy that he can only cope by putting on the kind of performative displays of "lad" culture that these stickers will be just a small part of. He will probably never have a genuinely fulfilled life because all the barriers between himself and honest existence will get in the way.

I wish more men's red flags were this obvious. At least 99% of women know to stay away from this dickhead!

This. Any female getting into that car must be blind.

CoatRack · 24/03/2024 18:10

Hilarious! That van makes me physically cringe, good god I pity that guy 🤣

Be grateful for the signal. You may have actually found a real life incel out in the wild.

Spoonthief · 24/03/2024 18:04

At leat he’s very up front about being a dickhead and women will know to avoid.

Not much you can do about it other than ignore though.

strawberrycheesecakey · 24/03/2024 18:04

I can just imagine being stuck in traffic behind him and can almost hear my 6 yr old dd proudly reading out aloud all the stickers from the middle of the back seat 😂

TerrysNeapolitan · 24/03/2024 18:03

They look very vintage - Fat Willys and Fido Dido looks like 1995 down Newquay!

Thriving30 · 24/03/2024 11:57

You just know it's being driven by a middle aged man who isn't getting any! It's so embarrassing (for him)

Why a middle aged man ? You get these types of misogynists in every age group!!

I for one am not going to deny watching from time to time but with that said I do find this overt public signage unpleasant, unwanted and clearly offensive for some. If this is tolerated, where is the limit point? There's a time and place for everything which doesn't cause offence to others. lol :)
