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

[RosaMoline]

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?

I see this van all the time. I think he must live in my town. I cringe every time I'm with the kids.

Misogynistic, creepy and tells me everything I need to know about the driver ie avoid.

Grim. I don’t think my response would be to feel offended though- I’d just think “what a bell end” and avoid.

I agree that it would be much simpler if all arseholes displayed it so obviously.

Awful. Imagine broadcasting your misogyny and shit sense of sick humour like that. 👀 But it’s a free country (still, just about..)
Would be minded to follow and slash his tyres!

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.

Read not said

It seems like they've deliberately found any branding stickers they can that have sexual swearwords in them. How mature. Lots seem to be porn brands, or they could even be made up?

Fatty Willy's is a legit surf brand. So seems a bit out of place. Lol, Willy's. What a fucking mug.

I think it's a criminal offence to have foul language like that on your car. Children could see it. Of course it also is sexually threatening to women. Can you report it online to 101?

It's clearly someone driving a giant red flag

horrible image of a fat dick dripping semen

quite frankly I find your wording more offensive and unnecessary. We all have eyes in our head.

YABU to obscure the number plate, OP.

But other than that - yuck. I can't imagine anyone thinking it's funny or in any way appealing.

Advertisements that use, or even hint at, the worse indecent language or graphical images can be (and have been) banned by the Advertising Standards Agency because it is not considered appropriate for children to see it. Agree with that or not, it must be questionable if this display is allowed without anyone giving a toss, surely? No, possibly not illegal, just another "life in UK, 2024".

Does one say' suck your mom'?

I wish all men who secretly thought this way about women were as obvious as this tool. Would save a lot of us a lot of time and bother. But yes, utterly repulsive and I wouldn't want to be anywhere near that car when driving or parking. I'd probably make an effort to get a look at the owner though so I could avoid him on the street or in shops too. Disgusting.

Taking offence is optional!

Report it via 101, see what happens. Perhaps also the DVLA. If no action, let your local Police and Crime Commissioner know, and any who come seeking your support.

Agree the number plate should not have been obscured. At least then we could have an idea where the unfit driver lives.

I’m shocked that it’s a VW driver though…

Hmm. I intensely dislike these misogynistic stickers but a useful indicator on who to avoid.

Probably a bit of a wanker

Yes indeed.

You can be offended at anything you like. People can have stickers you don't like. What does being offended actually do in this case? It's not going to make the stickers go away.

Quite.

But since women are consciously excluded from being protected by hate speech law, we all have to do a tinkly laugh and see it as banter. Lucky us.

So those of you on this thread that think I’m BU to be offended, you’d be ok if I was driving about with ‘FUCK OFF CUNT’ in massive letters on my rear window, yes?

Looks like an incel advertising himself. I’d take it as a public warning. He’s basically saying ‘women beware’

What sort of porn does fake taxi have on its site? Rapey stuff? It's a vile name
