This 'brand logo' is despicable? (Possible TW)

Apparently theyre called 'Aape' but you can clearly see that they have changed the first 'A' to have a little flick coking off it that clearly makes it look like an 'R'.

If they're both 'A's why are they different? Theyre all capitals so its not lower case.

Who would wear this shit??

How many of you writing in to complain about a legitimate brand name have written to complain about the grooming gangs?

If you could provide the head office address for said grooming gangs, I'd be delighted to write and complain, ta.

I am out of touch, have never heard of this brand and absolutely think it reads rape. And if I were this company, intentional or not, I would be horrified to realise this and withdraw it immediately. But then being out if touch and old fashioned I have standards around decency and acceptability.

Don't be so ridiculous! Are you so out of touch that you didn't bother to see it's a Tokyo 'sister' brand to A Bathing Ape?

It looks nothing like rape and it's your mind that is twisting it.

I think I’d complain to ASOS. They shouldn’t be stocking brands like that.

Feel free to!

In fact I will too.

Flannels stock it- says it all.

Edit- I googled and it most of it seems a BAPE rip off and is very clearly Aape. Never heard of either!
