Calls to withdraw 'shameful' t-shirt bearing slogan 'Eat, Sleep, Rape, Repeat'

[IwantToRetire]

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But on the Viral Style website it has been withdrawn for copyright violation!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

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.

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.

Probably Hamas fanboys.

And to think Kellie-Jay had trouble finding someone to print Woman: adult human female on one.

Jfc, how awful. glad the thread is back.

I wonder, maybe instead of stopping this stuff we could get it permanently tattooed on men who like it, so we know who to avoid?

That's vile. If (jfc 'if') it's illegal then it's already banned and the sellers and wearers should be having their collars felt. What's the betting though that it isn't.

I was briefly concerned there'd be a Streisand effect, complaining would just publicise it and it'd sell like hotcakes. But perhaps it'd be good for the rapists, the wannabes and the apologists to helpfully label themselves.

But on the Viral Style website it has been withdrawn for copyright violation!

I am speechless.

So fucking depressing that shit like this exists

Sorry about the other strange thread, but it was late at night and almost the moment I posted it disappeared, and all I could think to do was start another thread to use to report to MN HQ that the upsetting wording was the reality.

Also didn't want to lose the info that I posted about other companies still selling the t shirt, after it seems the company mentioned in the article then had to withdraw it not because of complaints but copyright infringement.

Can you image being the entrepreneur (spelling?) who is so proud of this slogan that they want to copyright it.

I wonder if it is possible to find out who that complete w--ker is?

😠

That's disgusting OP. I agree with pickled's suggestion that wannabe buyers should have it tattooed on them instead.

Update: I can't believe it. I complained, and this was the reply:
Thank you for contacting and extremely sorry for the inconvenience, it was a mistake its rectify now please check it again

I will reply with a thank you.

A mistake, eh! Chinny reckon. Well, at least they've apologised and sorted it.

Well done 👏

Yeah, BS excuse. Anyhow, a complaint can go a long way.

I saw this "mistake" excuse yesterday and thought I cant be seeing clearly, so came back today.

That's not an apology, that's an outright insult showing contempt for the criticisms.

Everyday a new low.

This is not about hip-hop.

The result is important, you've done a great job. I don't believe them, either; there's no way it could have got past a load of people approving it with none of them spotting it.

What do you think people think they see when the look at the "corrected" tee shirt.

I would suggest they see / understand the original slogan.

Our daily reminder to be wary of US 'cultural' influence.

If I saw a man wearing that thing, I'd want a flamethrower.

Something seriously wrong with you for buying that and wearing it.
What a waste of material..

This. We're going backwards in terms of women's rights.

Rape is a criminal act. It's incitement to a criminal act.

who the hell would actually buy that? (never mind wear it) It can hardly be even passed off as some sort of edgy "joke".

Blimey! I was going to suggest spray paint, but yes.
