Calls are being made for a disgusting t-shirt bearing the slogan 'Eat, Sleep, Rape, Repeat' to be removed from a clothing site.

The vile shirt was spotted on the site Viral Style sparking revulsion amongst campaigners. Despite fury back in 2015 about the shirt after it was spotted worn by a reveller at Coachella Festival, it remains for sale on several similar US-based sites.

An image posted on X, formerly Twitter, by a woman in the Republic of Ireland last month meanwhile shows a man wearing the shirt in an airport, prompting widespread shock and disgust. Brit campaigner Caroline Voaden is now petitioning for the shirt to be removed from one of the websites, accusing the firm of "shameful" profiting off rape culture.

When I googled this it seems that other companies are selling this eg https://xfrogclothing.com/product/eat-sleep-rape-repeat-shirt/ and https://www.williamjacket.com/product/eat-sleep-rape-repeat-shirt/

But on the Viral Style website it has been withdrawn for copyright violation! https://viralstyle.com/chrry18/eat-sleep-rape-repeat-shirt

There was an adorable troll on the other thread, I do hope they have popped off to snigger about how fiendish they are, or whatever trolls do when they’re finished.
Are there incel printing companies, or something? Because I’m wondering how this got printed. No-one during the whole process of creating, printing and selling thought it’s too much/horrifically unacceptable.

So I guess this is the T shirt on the other mysterious thread.

It's disgusting. Wouldn't you totally avoid a man who was wearing it? I'd say it's incitement to violence and should be banned.
