St Patrick Day float, Re-enacting Epstein rapes

[Cocolapew]

This is horrific. In front of children and possible assault victims. Who in their right mind finds this funny?

What the hell?

I am not sure there is any way that float can be considered appropriate. What the fuck we they thinking ?

For fuck’s sake 😡

It would have had to be approved by the organisers/council as well surely?

Jesus, I thought it would be a misunderstanding, that is horrific. Are they insane?

How completely repulsive. Men really do hate women don’t they? Guess there’s nothing funnier than widespread abuse of women and children as well… or is that where they draw the line? 🤔

I can’t see how that could have been appoved! I doubt it was.
I’m Irish and really mortified by this. It’s absolutely appalling.

This is appalling. They are chasing a victim down and simulating raping another on the float whilst handing sweets out to the children. Heads should roll for this.

That is absolutely disgraceful

The chasing around as part of the float, in this context, was bad enough. The simulated rape on trailer of the truck was horrifying.

I didn’t see them handing out sweets. That is fucked up. Put altogether it can be considered grooming. I would expect that is not the intention, but it is arguably one outcome.

Is this reported anywhere? I’ve not been on X for ages.

Fucking hell. This has left me speechless. I mean, this is real right? Not AI generated or something.

That is beyond cruel and inappropriate. I don’t have words to describe how disgusting the people are who participated in this!

Is it real?
if so it’s horrific

Wtf!

The people involved need to be found and arrested.

Fucking disgusting

That person laughing loudly in the background 🤢

Do you remember the tw complaining about men crossdressing for a carnival in his village? Iirc copious apologies were immediately forthcoming and the organisers said it was unauthorised, they must have tagged onto the end. This is so, so much worse.

Eta. Crosspost. Unauthorised eh!? Been seen at other carnivals eh! 🤔

Whoever thought this was a good idea needs their hard drive checking
Not funny in the slightest and totally inappropriate 🤬

Did none of those men at any point think "maybe this isn't such a good idea?"

Heads surely will roll. These planks might not understand how insulting to Epsteins victims this would look. But rural Ireland cares deeply about ' the neighbours'. Spectacular one goal there

I think this is a thread about the 'transphobic' float (there may have been others)

The share token has expired so I've not been able to read the article.

There's arguments to be made about men in drag being offensive but, I don't believe there's any argument that rape is amusing. I think the people who devised this thought they were mocking the men. The feelings, the reality of the women who were raped, or the women who were watching? Well that probably never crossed their minds.

It was used in three different parades, got objected to in each, kept going regardless.

Something badly, badly wrong with the men involved.
