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

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But on the Viral Style website it has been withdrawn for copyright violation!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

Does anyone know if this tee shirt is still on sale.

This thread was started back in January.

They tried to pass it off as a spelling mistake? Of a three letter word? Yeah, right.

Slightly off topic but I saw a woman the other day wearing a tee shirt just the same style - black tee, plain white lettering, same font, that simply read: Loser. I felt so sad for her, going about her day, shopping, with that self message blazoned across her chest. I wonder if it is from the same company.
